These guys will never find the fentanyl labs because they are cloaked with the same technology that we used to hide the Canadian girlfriends they made at summer camp. And you know nobody ever found evidence of them.

We’ve been taught to fetishize convenience so thoroughly, and the costs have been hidden so effectively, that we seek convenience while unknowingly reinforcing the system that make us crave ease in the first place. We have to change this whole paradigm. My latest: www.jphilll.com/p/convenienc...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

I just asked the FDA if/when they plan to reschedule a canceled March 13th meeting of their committee that meets every year to hear from experts and make recs for making the next flu vaccine for the fall. They responded by sending their press release saying the meeting is canceled.

Hi, yes, my fellow Americans. Should there be any fellow Americans on my timeline who think "oh he's not serious." Take everything he says seriously. Even the shit you don't think is serious, take it seriously because HE IS ACTUALLY DOING THE THINGS. EVEN IF YOU THINK NO RATIONAL PERSON WOULD.

The National Weather Service is THE ONLY source of weather data in the US. Every weather app, local broadcaster, and weather forecast map is based on NWS data from NOAA. This is a ridiculously stupid own goal for the US that will disrupt all kinds of social and economic activity, and endanger lives.

NEW: The Energy Department tried to spin its DOGE-directed firing of nuclear-safety officials as affecting just non-critical staff. But this wasn’t close to true. In fact, one of the officials locked out of his work accounts was the top authority for all nuclear-safety matters in the agency.
