Sorry Ukraine, some of us over here did try but we all failed catastrophically to make this country do the right thing.

A year ago, I wrote a story about how police tried to use facial recognition on a face that was algorithmically generated from DNA to solve a gruesome homicide. A few weeks ago, police identified a suspect using that DNA. Story: www.wired.com/story/parabo... Update: www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

Matt Viser is the White House bureau chief for the Washington Post. Just a little something to keep in mind as people assure you the only problem with Jeff Bezos's Washington Post is the opinion section.

That CDC didn’t lead with recommending vaccination (or mention it at all) is absolutely bonkers & should be A Major Thing. & Americans usually aren’t deficient in vitamin A which can be toxic if you take lots of supplements thinking it will ward off measles (or eat a polar bear liver).

I’m all for folks doing the blackout day! Let’s try every kind of activism! Everything is worth doing! I just don’t think you should give this dude that’s “organizing” it any of your money cause he’s absolutely a grifter.

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...

And what did I find in my mailbox arriving home? Yes, my physical version of the #QuestWorlds core rulebook! Printed on demand (PoD) at @drivethrurpg.com, sent quickly, and with great quality. I have already read it cover to cover in the PDF version, but some books still deserve a dead tree version

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Wow. This motion outlines a scheme where Trump leadership at FEMA appear to have openly and with little effort to hide it designed a process to get around the TRO by claiming to be honoring the letter of the order while doing the exact thing a judge ruled they couldn’t do.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

He called it "magic intelligence in the sky" a few years ago. Truly living in the twilight zone where people fall for this.

This is becoming a Matt Taibbi factcheck account… 🙃 A massive alt-media retcon has been happening re: Russia, which you are seeing reflected in the lies that Trump has begun to tell about Ukraine. The strategy is to discredit established facts, smear messengers, & create alternate realities. 1/4
