Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Well gang, it's happened: OpenAI has built a platform filled exclusively with fake, AI content. I've been playing with it for a few days, and I think it's safe to say we're basically kissing reality goodbye. Here's the story: www.npr.org/2025/10/03/n... And some thoughts 🧵

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

Waiting in line for bagels w/5 year-old son. Cybertruck pulls up, Elon-bro gets out and into line. Son says loudly “dada look, a cybertruck!” Elon bro gets excited, waits for compliment. “Dada that truck is SO UGLY” Elon bro looks absolutely gut shot in front of entire line. Parenting win.

Hii! Last week Quanta published a project I've been working on all year — a special issue about climate science, or what research into climate change is revealing about how our planet works www.quantamagazine.org/how-we-came-...

Your health care bill is about to explode. The notices will start arriving next month. A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000. Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up. We need to fix this. Now.

Remember how chill things were in 2009

NEW WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened. This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

gives lie to the whole “but no one knew they were like that back then” (also would be nice to see someone bring her book back out)

Omgggg 😳

Three new ones! Plant your flag in the cerebellum. No, wait, don't do that. Anyway, buy some Anti-AI watercolor art! artologica.etsy.com

Tourists—whenever you come to nyc and walk slowly and aren’t aware of your surroundings, you are choosing violence. Please assume there are people behind you trying to get by. You are driving us all nuts. xx

WGA WRITERS protest abc & disney : “Writers against fascism — this isn’t just about Kimmel, it’s about our ability to say what we want and not be punished by the state… a chilling effect… you don’t capitulate to bullies…” (from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social )

I wrote a book review for the @washingtonpost.com you can read it here www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...

The Flame Nebula steals the spotlight in this image 🔥, but it’s not the only gem on display! You can also see the Horsehead Nebula (lower right), and the bright, bluish star to the right, which is one of the trio forming Orion's Belt. 🔭

We’ve lost a legend today. Somehow, someway, I got to spend some time with him in this life. He was incredibly smart, thoughtful, didn’t take any nonsense, cared deeply about the world, was funny, and loved to talk about art. He was a lovely human and a master of his craft. He will be missed. 💔

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well? Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?

The Washington Post can't claim to defend free speech while firing Karen Attiah for exercising hers. The Post should be a newsroom that promotes the freedom of ideas, speech and the press.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

The entropy is out of control

New work about how perceptions of social consensus shape belief. My sense is that the design of social media, w/ signals of engagement on top of massive attention flows, shapes social consensus… a key factor (IMO ) of information disorder.

The Cassini Saturn mission ended with its "Grand Finale" #OTD in 2017. To avoid the possibility of colliding with and possibly contaminating one of Saturn’s moons, the probe incinerated itself by plunging into the planet's atmosphere. 🧪 🔭 Video: Artist's conception, from a NASA/JPL-Caltech video

Really hard—almost impossible—to address the depth of the left’s platform/media problem. What the Ellisons are doing with CBS and Warner/CNN is immense. But the crux of it has to include Meta and Google’s MAGA turn.

Possible chemical signature of life found on Mars? These claims are hugely exciting--and, as always, complex and somewhat ambiguous. The NASA press conference is still going, but the news coverage is already coming out: 🧪🔭 www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Guess who’s seeing Oasis in LA on Saturday??

I tried to write about it but my brain is really broken natureofthings.substack.com/p/i-saw-oasis

I can’t believe it. I spent so many years knowing this was impossible. This would never happen. They would never get back together. And now, I’ve seen them twice. I’m just beside myself with a feeling that is indescribable and new. I’m so thankful.

Happy Oasis day part 2!

HAPPY OASIS DAY!

Tomorrow is my 41st birthday and more importantly, tomorrow I see Oasis play live, a lifelong dream. I can’t even type this without tearing up, I can’t believe this is really happening. New Yorkers, east coasters—see you Sunday and Monday!!! Get your poznan ready!

One. More. Day. 😭
