Paying kidney donors would save tens of thousands of lives every year. The End Kidney Deaths Act is in the House right now to do so. We don't have to accept deaths from kidney disease. We know how to save these lives. We just have to take the step. thedispatch.com/article/end-...

Sarah Wynn-Williams’ new book, Careless People, isn’t just a collection of darkly funny stories that are embarrassing for Facebook’s leadership. It’s also a sign of our current political era, where carelessness and incuriosity are virtues and not vices. www.infinitescroll.us/p/internet-b...

I really hope Elon keeps doing his 'choose a person to pay a million dollars for coming to his rally'. Because it's actually a very stupid, ineffective way to spend a million dollars and may even have a net negative impact because it feels skeezy.

Per @jeremiahdjohns.bsky.social on another platform: “It's very interesting that some folks are completely unaware that Bill Clinton balanced the budget, reduced the debt, and reduced federal spending as a percent of GDP. “I guess because he's a Democrat?”

One of the gaps between AI skeptics and boosters: Most people want to see AI do stuff that isn't essentially 'write a book report'. Fully self-driving cars, develop new cancer meds, a robot than can fold the laundry. That's what people want, not a summarization machine.

One of the things I appreciate most about @mattyglesias.bsky.social is that even when everyone else is talking about culture war stuff, he continues to hammer the basic point that Republicans want to cut taxes for the rich and pay for it by cutting trillions of dollars that help poor people.

Lots of folks, left and right, tend to celebrate the slow death of traditional media and the surge of new media. But rarely do they sit down and reckon with who they're elevating as they knock the CNN/WaPo types down to size.
