the single biggest takeaway i have from this interview is that on top of being profoundly incompetent, bari weiss and her flunkies at CBS are genuinely terrible human beings.

For decades, mangroves were a cautionary tale. Cleared for shrimp ponds. Bulldozed for palm oil. Lost to coastal development. A new study in Science just changed the headline. 🧵 The economics of one of nature’s biggest quiet comebacks: 📷 David Gross / Ocean Image Bank

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

A personalized vaccine for melanoma cut the risk of cancer returning after five years
If the vaccine is effective in a late-stage trial, it would be “paradigm-shifting,” one expert said.

"The collapse of the USSR led to a cratering of life expectancy and set the conditions of the rise of Putin" Okay, but do you want to take the next logical step, which is that the USSR very existance set the conditions of its own collapse?

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock."

Absolutely every election autopsy I have seen has the baseline assumption that perceived Democratic failures forced voters into the arms of Trump, which of course just assumes that most people are Democrats in their hearts and there aren't people who would actually like Trump.

Obviously the EHRC guidance is unworkable nonsense. It delivers nothing but further confusion and places the onus on organisations to police access without any legal framework to conduct investigations or enforce compliance. It's just a permission slip to be a TERF.

There we have it - you have to exclude trans people from single-sex spaces (so maybe avoid having them if you can). A bathroom ban from people who recognise that they’re doing a bathroom ban, and feel guilty about it. Shameful.

New post: Why Labour's current disarray is ultimately the consequence of Osborne’s austerity
mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2026/05/why-...
The media's belief that 2010 austerity was necessary led to Corbyn's victory, which then led to Starmer's Blue Labour and their subsequent polling disaster.

Why Labour
I want to expand on a footnote to last week’s post. As I said there , we now have clear evidence that austerity from 2010 onwards helped...

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵
