If Trump said he was reinstituting chattel slavery these guys would write an op ed explaining why the 13 amendment allows it. The entire conservative legal movement is nothing but stooping lickspittles bsky.app/profile/anth...

I know Stathis. He was a colleague of mine at the University of Chicago. He is a pretty buttoned-down scholar. For him to tweet this out is… something.

True story: when my older boys were little, they both got whooping cough even though they were vaccinated. It was bad. We asked the pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. They would’ve died, he said. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Important and appropriate A1 play in the NYT print paper today for the story Kirsten Grind and I did on the 11 federal agencies that had targeted Musk companies for investigations/lawsuit that have now been disrupted in a way that benefits Musk. A free link as well. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

Anyone supporting RFK Jr for US health chief should watch Apple Cider Vinegar. False promises. Exploiting the ill and desperate. The consequences of a misplaced faith in “alternative health” and unjustified mistrust in science.

When we unionized a few years ago, a lot of peanut gallery types on social media wanted to tell me it would be the end of Wired. Hope it’s now clear (thanks mostly to our insanely talented and hardworking politics team) that it does not work that way. Unions are good.

Seems like the overwhelming response to Rupert Murdoch getting a shout out from Fox at the Super Bowl was “fuck Rupert Murdoch.” Bro looks like a mummified corpse.

slate.com/life/2025/02... Michael Roth’s essay is important. Well worth your time and attention. Michael is also a fine human being as I learned from his time on the Board of The Hastings Center.
