If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Gah, I had a workday with 15 meetings today. I feel like my brain is turned to mush from context switching and I am so ready to embrace the weekend. A nice sunset from the deck helped!

Nature is metal 🤘😜

Weekend project :)

Spring! Not only it is a beautiful time for the garden with all the bloom, it also is the time for the home cured olives to be eaten. After manually scoring each and allowing them to cure/ferment in brine for 6 months they are ready - crunchy, savory and pleasantly bitter with a slight bite. ❤️

İki haftadır Claude kullanıyorum, ChatGPT'ye göre bin kat daha sevdim. Yeni mezun MBA'lılar gibi cıvık jargon ile konuşmuyor, dümdüz cevap veriyor, bilmiyorsa bilmiyorum diyor Her sorudan sonra "ay ne şahane bir soru", "bu harika bir fikir!" diye yaltaklanmıyor. Olmuş. Keşke önceden geçseymişim.

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

A trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records, which ProPublica made public this week, reveals a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate.

Anthropic made defence contracts forbidden fruit for AI firms. Legal fine print will not save you when you jump into bed with the Department of War while Trump is trampling over AI ethics. openai.com/index/our-ag...

a lot of discourse on here attributes way too much logic, reason, strategy to the government's actions by doing their rationalization for them. i don't think we have reason to believe they care to rationalize what they do? they've been pretty explicitly exercising power and enjoying impunity.

Anyone who insists on staying on X despite all that happened lately is a cog in the MAGA Propaganda Engine - either willingly or as an ignorant/selfish enabler.

How's your vote going for you? It has been only a year.

Every time I read about the Epstein files I realize there was never just one monster. People with status, with oaths...they knew. They didn't just look away,they also enabled, participated and traded their integrity for a handful of dollars or for a seat at a table. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

Are they preparing a new “peace prize” ?

DO NOT USE CHAT GPT.

fell for it again award

Anthropic gets booted from the Pentagon for not wanting to power mass surveillance or autonomous weapons, then OpenAI gets a Pentagon contract that bans mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Someone is obviously leaving something significant out.

Nice weekend house cleaning opportunity - Unsubscribed from ChatGPT. - Subscribed to Claude.

It’s the perfect day to unsubscribe from OpenAI and enroll in Claude.

Truth.

Everyone needs void in their lives. Kara kedi bambaşka bir şey. 🖤🐈‍⬛

Valentine’s Dinner - our way - loading. ❤️

Only in the US: valantine's steak! ... and this is California, I wonder what is available in Texas.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Finally I get to paint my favorite character from BG3 - Lae’zel. It is fascinating how much difference a good sculpted model makes. #dnd #bg3 #lae’zel #3dpainting #miniaturepainting

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

We are are living in an alternate reality where the health policy is led by shady snake oil sellers. We will be spending tons of money on ivermectin while running into risk of not having a flu vaccine when we need a new one urgently.

[THREAD] Why it matters that the FDA is refusing to review Moderna's application for an mRNA based influenza vaccine. 1. Flu is a perpetual threat to human health, because it sometimes mutates and sparks major, deadly pandemics (including the 1918 flu). Our best defense is vaccines.

California state health authorities are warning people to stop foraging wild mushrooms as the death toll from a poisoning outbreak increased to four and as more than three dozen people have been sickened since November.

MAHA leaders rose to power via their COVID disinformation. Today, they are recycling those myths to minimize measles and distract from their inability to contain it. My latest. sciencebasedmedicine.org/newagain-2/

It is even more disgusting than I thought. Once again I am convinced anyone obsessed with longevity and sells scam hacks or diets is a creepy at best and likely to be also a sort of a pervert.

Almost there… #3dfigure #modelpainting #bg3 #baldursgate3

We received a “cremation service” advertisement in our mailbox. I guess we are in the - prepare for your end of life-age. What is worse is, the ad starts with the sentence “bring a loved one”. WHO IS THIS MARKETING GENIUS? 😖😬

I really don’t care about Attia’s apology letter. Anyone who is this much star struck by a creepy pervert and feels it is ok to write those emails deserves all the criticism and disdain. I am so disgusted by all these fanboys who raced to gain his favor by showing they are as vile as him.🤮

Jay Bhattacharya plays word games about vaccines rather than clearly stating the facts that there is no scientific evidence that vaccines cause autism. #science

As more people get their news from AI, even “accurate” answers can quietly shape what we think by highlighting some viewpoints and downplaying others. theconversationus.substack.com/p/people-are...

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

He does have a way of destroying things when things don’t go as he planned. And Kennedy Center is no exception- except they fired him before he closed them down. (By “them” obviously I mean the OG, not the recently appointed brown nosed losers.)

True.

Oh look, according to Peter Attia MD “pussy is low carb” something that is totally normal for a doctor to say to Epstein, who had previously been convicted of procuring a child for prostitution

If camo’s built-in purpose is to avoid detection, ICE’s embrace of it is the opposite: They want maximum visibility. They are dressing for the war they want. “What you’re seeing is the functionality of gear for legitimate, militarized purposes versus a type of postmodern, performative imagery."

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases
