This is a very good conversation about the state of healthcare here in the US, about the nature of medicine, art, and the potential impact of AI on both, and about disinformation in the current ideological context. Really worth the 53 minutes, esp if you also love The Pitt!

Hello friends. It is June 16, 2025. The siege of Gaza continues, comfortably shoved away behind the histrionics of a more exciting war with Iran. This is what my friends in Palestine are enduring today. We can still help them. conversationalist.org/2025/05/29/g...

The value of $1,000 has become as if it were $50 in Gaza. I will tell you how. First, you want to get cash or banknotes. You want to pay a 45% commission. What you have is now $550. The price of every commodity, if available, has multiplied tenfold or more. Thus, money has lost a lot of its value.

There is no reason to be concerned about the birthrate other than racism. Humanity as a whole is above replacement levels, and we could stand to reduce the population. Age cohort problems could easily be solved through liberalized immigration. This is literally the stupidest thing to care about.

The hegemonic narrative among institutional leaders is the post-Obama Democratic Party grew too “woke” due to police protests culminating with the nomination of Kamala Harris (a lifelong prosecutor) and the biggest mistake the party made was being too sensitive towards the concerns of …“the groups”

Climate models include a lot of feedbacks, like warming ➡️ permafrost melting ➡️ methane to atmosphere ➡️ more warming, but I wonder how many include feedback from climate-fueled instability making war more likely, causing more emissions from military operations. Grim stuff.

You almost have to appreciate just how beautifully this illustrates the gerontocratic nature of American politics: the Ancient Umbrella is imbued with more experience simply because it existed longer.

New piece by me! I wrote about how freaky measles is, which many people don't know about. It depletes immune cells, and makes people vulnerable to many other infectious diseases. This raises the risk of complications for years after an infection.

Back in October I interviewed Mazen, a resident of Dahiyeh who lost his cat, Cici, when his building was bombed by Israel. He searched frantically for Cici. I followed up with him today for the first time since then. I have no way to verify this but, he told me: www.aljazeera.com/features/lon...

To demand both absolute power and absolute impunity is the demand of a tyrant. New from me in the NYT, on the Trump administration’s attempt to zero out noncitizens’ rights, and how that inevitably implicates citizens as well. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/o...

Yo, check the map. Many important places would be up for sale, including Mono Hot Springs, Jackass Meadow, etc, etc. “The bill fails to give sovereign Tribal Nations the right of first refusal to bid on lands, even for areas that are a part of their traditional homelands or contain sacred sites.”

Of all the travesties on this map, the sale of the Red Hills Area of Environmental Concern would be devastating. It’s home to amazing serpentine soils and geology, as well as a ton of endemic species that are super rare. @geotripper.bsky.social says it best: geotripper.blogspot.com/2022/04/red-...

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.
