Rudy Giuliani is seriously injured in a crash in New Hampshire, breaking a thoracic vertebra. Our only source right now is his head of security, so story is developing. If anyone has more details, email [email protected] or send a note to my Signal: kirkenstrom.76

We LOVE our induction stove. It’s insane how fast water comes to a boil, and cooking can be precise and consistent. And, as David notes in a reply, it’s ridiculously easy to keep clean!

An interesting read on the oyster farmer hoping to unseat Susan Collins in Maine. Graham Platner’s candidacy is attracting a lot of attention.

It’s International Dog Day, so here’s a mandated Gordo pic. #dogsofbluesky

Quite an opportunity! I'll be seeing The Beths when they come to Boston later this year.

Really great thread here walking through the science of climate change.

This is an excellent guide to the junk science perpetrated by RFK's pick to "research" debunked links between vaccines and autism for HHS. Journalists should read up to prepare for what's coming: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This column from the former WaPo Fact Checker reinforces my decision to become one of the hundreds of thousands who canceled their subscriptions in the past year: substack.com/inbox/post/1...

The whole Jim Acosta interviewing "Joaquin Oliver" thing is just gross. I'm not reposting the tease for it, but you can do a search to find it. I understand his parents are grieving, but that AI bot is not their son and those words aren't his, even if spoken by what sounds like his voice.

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

I am begging fellow journalists to educate themselves on the myths of fentanyl exposure. Doctors say there has never been an overdose through skin contact. Claims of overdoses through inhaling ambient fentanyl are also unfounded. There's a reason people use needles to get the drug inside them.

This is very good news. And I'm not just saying that because I'm employed by Hearst. It's bad for a community when Alden buys the local paper.

Anyways, AIDS is going to be gone soon, this is a generic with FDA full approval.

New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan has replied to a DOJ request for information on the state's voter registration procedures and for New Hampshire's entire statewide voter list. As Scanlan previously noted, NH law only allows disclosure of that list in limited circumstances.

When Justice Department officials reviewed what Attorney General Pam Bondi called a “truckload” of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, they discovered that Donald Trump’s name appeared multiple times, according to senior administration officials. www.wsj.com/politics/jus...

Journalists in Gaza are in danger of dying from starvation.

Dear Jeff Bezos …

Bravo to the @miamiherald.com for publishing this list in full www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I wouldn’t tell anyone if I won the lottery but there would be signs.

This week on my development server (Not available to the public) ✅refactored code to allow 5 days of astro events ✅added endpoints for user authentication. This completes step 2 of 5. Still much to do. #AstroMethods skycalpro.com

Yesterday's pro-Nazi outbursts by Grok were the last straw for WGA East.

"The Vatican released a new liturgy for Mass reflecting concern for the environment, offering prayers, readings and hymns that highlight the church’s responsibility to protect the Earth." www.sltrib.com/religion/202...

On Monday, I'm going to talk with urbanist Alon Levy about his plan to build high-speed rail in the US Northeast for a reasonable amount of money -- and about the difficulty of building big things in the US. Got any questions?

Mamdani has an interesting look at the primary numbers and the swings his successful campaign saw.

Final results are in for the NYC Democratic primary after the ranked choice votes were tabulated. Notable that Mamdani's first round total was still higher than Cuomo's final apportioned total.

The National Climate Assessment has been taken offline, disrupting access to valuable climate data. It has been archived in a few locations.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

The news really sucks today. Instead of boosting a harmful Supreme Court decision, here’s something better: a practical guide on how to support the LGBTQ+ youth in your life. Because they deserve our attention, our protection, and our love. 💖🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 www.thetrevorproject.org/resources/ar...

The Trump administration has instructed the national suicide prevention hotline to stop offering specialized support to LGBTQ callers next month. The Trevor Project, a nonprofit that has provided that specialized support to LGBTQ callers to 988, said Wednesday that it had received a stop-work order.

When we were shopping for an induction range, we had to work hard to find ones with no "smart" features. It was doable at the time, but it really looked at first like it wasn't going to be an option. I don't want my appliances watching and listening to me and then sending that info. somewhere.

Not a bad view on a lovely night in Boston.

Interesting point in this story about the judge dealing with the attempt in the House-backed bill to block judges from enforcing contempt rulings. That provision would only apply if no security was posted at the time of the injunction. The judge had New York post a small, $1,000 security.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had ordered an end to "identity months" at DoD, but nonetheless intentionally chose Pride as the time to remove the name of gay rights hero and Navy veteran Harvey Milk from one of the Navy's John Lewis-class oilers:

Is Twitter/X completely empty for anyone else right now? Like, no posts, as if you and everyone else just created accounts for the first time?

Loretta Swit has died.

This is reminiscent of some legal filings that have made the news when it turned out their citations were hallucinated by AI. No word yet whether that's the case here.

Market Basket CEO Arthur T. Demoulas has been placed on administrative leave. The board says he was allegedly planning "a disruption of the business and operations" of the beloved grocery store chain.

Redirected government funds and budget cuts will affect Americans in profound ways, but one of the most direct impacts on all of us will be if our weather forecasts are compromised. Here's your chance to learn more and ask your own questions.

With RFK Jr.'s announcement that it would no longer be recommended that pregnant women receive the COVID-19 vaccine, it's worth revisiting this @propublica.org story from 2022 about the severe risks pregnant women face if they are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

New Hampshire Republicans have been moving forward with legislation to ban gender-affirming care such as puberty blockers for trans youth.

Even if you ignore the, what, decade-plus(?) it would take to ramp up manufacturing and somehow build a trained workforce here (without substantial immigration) the cost doesn’t make sense. Far cheaper for everyone to just pay the tariff.

Writers should not be using generative AI to create content. It makes stuff up.

"It was like bullies making fun of me." New Hampshire green card holder Fabian Schmidt describes being taken into custody by ICE and held for more than 60 days.

Video stills of Rümeysa Öztürk being released from ICE custody via NBC 10 Boston

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

A federal judge has ordered the release on bail of a Tufts University student who was detained by ICE.

THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED guys this is the biggest and most important data point this is EVERYTHING the pillars of the Synodal Way are forceful and aggressive clerical abuse reforms, women’s ordination, same-sex marriage, LGBTQ rights, etc. the old guard Vatican treated them like HERETICS

Republican Jefferson Griffin has finally given up trying to overturn his loss and conceded last year’s state Supreme Court race to Democratic Justice Allison Riggs.

Uganda has declared the end of Ebola disease outbreak, less than three months after the virus was confirmed. Robust, coordinated response by the government, supported by WHO and partners, was critical in stopping the outbreak.

Today—Earth Day 2025—a new urban trail across Boston green spaces is born. The City On The Hills Trail, which runs 31.1 miles from Millennium Park in West Roxbury to Castle Island is officially open to the walking public! www.bostontrails.org/cityonthehil...
