Good news! OpenAI is supporting MCP in the Agents SDK.

In today’s episode, author @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social reflects on the history of tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease in the world, and what it says about our society and culture. Listen here 🎧: pod.link/73329284/epi...

Hegseth: "Nobody was texting war plans. And that's all I have to say about that." Gabbard: "There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal group" So here they are:

Okay, I wrote a longer thing about @durbin.senate.gov, @amyklobuchar.com, @klobuchar.senate.gov, @whitehouse.senate.gov, @blumenthal.senate.gov apparently wanting to hand Donald Trump a huge weapon with which to censor online speech. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/21/d...

NEW! Sworn declarations filed last night confirm the Trump admin sent INNOCENT people to rot in prison El Salvador, including a professional soccer player jailed and tortured by the Maduro regime, who entered this country LEGALLY to seek asylum, and who has NO CRIMINAL RECORD in either country.

🤣😂😹😭

Trump: I hereby decree that a thing specifically defined by statute actually means something else. The stupidity, it burns.

Aww, poor guy. Nobody could have seen this coming. https://twitter.com/crackticker/status/1901799747796566376

It’s also “not an appropriate response” to lacerate a judge because they have Mexican heritage or their daughter worked for a Democrat or they just didn’t rule in his favor. But Roberts was silent about all that.

Everything Is Tuberculosis is out in the world. I'm so grateful to everyone who will read this book. Thank you. p.s. Let me know what color signature you get!

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Haven't seen this reported anywhere but a judge overseeing Florida's attempt to age gate all social media pointed to the failure of D&D to make him worship Satan as a kid to suggest the state needs actual evidence, and not just vibes about a social media moral panic. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/11/j...

This might be my favorite transcript excerpt of all time. Partly because I love an 80s nerd in black robes, and partly because this question is so glaringly absent in almost every discussion of kids, platforms, and addiction. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/11/j...

GOLIKEHELLMACHINE is interviewing (current & former) federal workers for a series that “aims to capture both the personal significance of [their] work and its broader impact on the American public”. 8 stories so far — these are great. (via @gramiq.bsky.social) [golikehellmachine.com]

Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./ Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Museum of All Things. “Every exhibit in the museum corresponds to a Wikipedia article. The walls of the exhibit are covered in images and text from the article, and hallways lead out to other exhibits based on the article’s links.” [mayeclair.itch.io]

Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

The fundamental weakness of Elon Musk is lack of it.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

This just all feels like some dumb sci-fi alt-history where the Confederacy won and formed an alliance with the Soviets

Remember that “move fast and break things” is the motto of a sector of businesses with a 90% failure rate. The US Government cannot afford a 90% failure rate.

On the cutting room floor is the bit where the host introduced their interview series, The Interview, and I asked how long it took to come up with the name. Anyway, here’s me talking about birds and science and burnout and moving through the world. The photo’s nice! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

Wired is doing excellent work in naming and providing background on DOGE staffers who are operating without security clearances on classified systems.
