When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

NEW: WIRED got IP blocked by the Social Security Administration, among other outlets covering Musk's takeover. Federal workers are now "prohibited" from accessing our reporting on "government-furnished equipment." WaPo, NYT, and MSNBC are likewise banned, sources confirm.

This is so clearly corrupt. Also note it is coming from a news source that doesn’t prostrate itself for access. FWIW, we are now @wired.com subscribers.

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be “tedious” and “compensation is zero" now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make www.wired.com/story/doge-g...

Oh god, they think it's like chicken pox. So many adults are about to discover that their own mmr has worn off. The existing recommendations were on the assumption all children would continue to receive scheduled vaccines.

Measles is a looming disaster. Airborne and highly contagious, it spreads faster than Bird Flu or even COVID-19. With an R₀ of 12–18, a single case can trigger explosive outbreaks. This virus has real pandemic potential. Vaccinate now before it’s too late.

And heeeeeeere we go. Measles is way more than contagious enough at sea level. Put it in a sealed tube at altitude with a couple of hundred "I-didn't-know" or "I-don't-care" non-mask-wearers, some of them perhaps pregnant, and...? (hides eyes)

If you're expressing "bewilderment" abt why Trump would betray US allies for Putin, you probably need to go back & read what Trump was up to when Mike Flynn investigation halted negotiations w/Kirill Dmitriev, who has picked up right where that left off. www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/02/r...

Back in the mid-20th century, the FBI could place an individual under surveillance solely for being LGBTQ. This is what enabled the anti-queer witch hunts of the McCarthy era. Now, DHS permits surveillance of LGBTQ people again. Just being queer makes you a suspect. www.advocate.com/politics/dhs...

To be clear: this was a chat room where trans people discussed medical procedures and surgeries. There was nothing "pornographic" about it, except in the imaginings of the bigots who deem every aspect of trans life pornographic. This is a purge of all trans employees, and nothing less.

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism. This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):
