The AI tech bros thought they were just talking to CEOs when they gave media interviews saying things like AI will eliminate all white collar jobs in 24 months and now they’re finding out everyone else could hear them.

That was weird. The CDC called a last-minute Sunday press briefing about Ebola, as rumors about Americans exposed in east-central Africa flew among reporters. They told us nothing. Here's my analysis... insidemedicine.substack.com/p/cdc-refuse...

Pissed off to hear my old think tank decided to replace all research assistants with LLMs, as though the idiots making the choice believe senior researchers appear from the heavens and not, you know, as the result of a research assistant + 20 years of experience.

The seat is in the rocket booster.

they will tell you that DC is a swamp but they will never tell you swamps are really heckin beautiful (📍Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens)

Nobody here needs me to tell them not to do this but Jesus Christ in a Cadillac do not do this.

Wait. Because he uses a Mac?

Classic win-now move. You have to give Pittsburgh credit for going for it while their championship window is open.

C: There's no way we can corroborate that. This is a lie. There’s a delineated process for this called civilian harm assessment. CENTCOM had a civilian harm assessment cell led by GS14 reporting to a GS15 when I was RIFed as the (contracted) senior advisor for Civilian Harm Mitigation & Response.

The point is to control women, not to protect the fetus.

Making America Healthy Again

It's great to see these Republicans literally running away, and then Raphael Warnock gets the question and stops, knocks the dirt off his cleats, brings the bat back and ...

these guys can’t even announced their forced resignations in private text messages that Trump later posts publicly without doing some Biden whataboutism

plenty of others have talked about the shortcomings of comparing AI to clinicians in the ER: its not just analyzing data, it involves collecting data + managing multiple human relationships across multiple simultaneous patients, with every test for patient A something patients B, C, and D wait for…

As Dr @kmpanthagani.bsky.social points out, the AI did not obtain the history. It used the history obtained by the ER doc. And getting that history is the *highest*-level cognitive task ER doctors perform. youcanknowthings.substack.com/p/did-ai-rea...

a “what does tucker carlson believe” story should be one sentence long and the sentence is “he will say literally anything for money, we saw him admit it in the texts released in the dominion lawsuit”

It is my firm position that the history and tradition that the originalists revere suggests that we should not apply an originalist understanding to the Constitution.

There was a time, before “history and tradition” became code for making up the past, where it was understood that morality (perhaps, even increasing morality over time) was part of our country’s history and tradition.

Another situation in which the presumption of regularity regarding the government is leading to unfair consequences for those outside the government.

nothing punctures our wildly overblown sense of technological mastery like biology

This SCOTUS rulings so far: • Universities using race criteria to counter historical racism in admissions is unconstitutional, BUT 1/3

Pop quiz: What's the number one cause of death among pregnant women in the US? No googling.

Answer: the men who got them pregnant kill them. Not top five. Not top three. Top.

Defense attorneys Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam appealed to the all-white jury to summon its "Anglo-Saxon courage" to acquit the defendants in the Emmett Till murder trial. Word for word.

I think you mean the White House is breaking a law that was put in place by congress after Watergate.

Cesar Sayoc, a Trump super fan & obsessive Fox viewer, sent pipe bombs in 2018 to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, & many other top Dems. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In the wake of the attacks, Trump said about his rhetoric: "Tone down, no. Could tone up."

Who would have guessed I’ve been to Venice recently 😜 A typical view down one of the larger canals with it disappearing into the mist

A puffin hiding amongst the wild flowers of Skomer Island, is my entry for this week's #Sharemondays2026 #puffins #SkomerIsland #Skomer #photography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

I live a slightly more 'adventurous' life than typical. The difference in online reactions between people who assume I'm a man and people who assume I'm a woman is *wild*

Bluebells at sunrise yesterday :) #Bluebells #CanonR5markii #Spring

Yet another data set illustrating which party actually opposes gerrymandering. The Republican number only spikes in 2025, when Democrats respond to Trump’s escalation by fighting back

I’m pretty sure he wants to prove to his father that he’s one of the great presidents who did a Big Important Thing, and since he can’t buy Greenland, he wants the White House to have his name on it. He is so desperately insecure he doesn’t need a 4D chess reason.

And another thing: I’m not a basket case. Don’t put in the newspaper that I’m a basket case

Revoking kids' visas because their parents criticized Elon Musk.

i know what those 5 words mean individually but not put together like this

Remember, these are the guys trying to control university curriculum to eliminate wokeness...like math

This is so heinous, I do not know what to say. This shit devastates me. Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w...

Not a penny to make life more affordable for American families, but $70 BILLION for ICE to terrorize our communities.

pete hegseth is so bad at his job that we're like one tick away from the gray zone being like "actually, pete hegseth is good, because he effectively stands against american imperialism"

Florida's economy works by converting pension funds into real estate speculation & medical debt. I'm impressed it's lasted as long as it has

The President spent more on bombs in ONE WEEK of his war with Iran than we spend in an entire YEAR to help parents afford child care. Trump & RFK Jr. are asking to spend $500B more for war—but they won't increase funding for child care by a cent.

"You're just voluntarily complying with this whimsical cosplay" -- holy shit, Tim Kaine is *demolishing* Russ Vought

So let’s have universal health care and help people live in dignity.

Love you Portland

Fresh off his trip to Hungary where he begged Hungarians to back Viktor Orban, J.D. Vance has decided world leaders shouldn't meddle in other countries' politics.

Italian government to Trump…

Found a piece of schist in the driveway with tiny garnets embedded in it. You can see the seam! (Second image is from a microscope.)

Victor Orban’s biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.
