Kevin Warsh is Peter Thiel’s guy. (They’ve known each other since college.)

THIS MORNING: McDonald’s workers are on strike due to excessive heat - temps in the kitchen reached 98.2 degrees and management claimed they didn't know how to turn on the air conditioner! The heat gives many of us horrible headaches, and exacerbates symptoms for those of us who have diabetes. 🧵

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha (Analysts at JP Morgan get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to write this bullshit.)

If you separate your thumb and index finger by *just a little bit*, that's about a millimeter in distance. That space can provide useful context for an unexpectedly difficult concept to grasp: just how insanely huge one billion dollars really is. (Hint: That dome isn't Musk's fortune.)

The key public health question is not whether Andes virus is as transmissible as measles or SARS-CoV-2. It is whether a pathogen with documented human transmission and a case fatality rate (by WHO's own estimate) of ~38% warrants stronger airborne precautions. We argue yes. 5/

OUR NEW BMJ editorial: Andes virus should reset WHO’s default approach to airborne risk. 🧵 1/ For severe pathogens with person-to-person transmission, the starting point should be precautionary airborne protections — not waiting for definitive proof after spread occurs. www.bmj.com/content/393/...

I agree. If you think Mary Peltola is dumb for this, meet her opponent Dan Sullivan. He is 100x worse. It’s our only choice.

I’ve reached out to NY AG James’ office and Mayor Mamdani’s office to find out how they plan on responding to this gross overreach.

3 million, almost certainly the biggest mass uninsuring event since the Great Recession, and a mini-recession in its own right—and growing! SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE MENTIONED IN EVERY PIECE ABOUT THE MIDTERMS

ME/CFS Day and what can I say. It shrank my world down to almost nothing. Stripped away almost everything I loved to do, and very few people I loved stuck around. I’m very lucky. The fog let up for me, and I went from moderate to mild. In all honesty, we don’t really know why. Many aren’t lucky.

When I was working EMS in Manhattan I used to have to jog into restaurants and beg to use the bathroom.

We need to take Rilla to the vet for more testing, and it's expensive as heck. If you enjoy my work and you want to leave a tip to help us out, I'd greatly appreciate the support. Thank you kindly.

Working families are relying on Oregon DOJ to prevent big corporate mergers that would drive up prices, cut jobs, and hurt small business. The federal government is stepping back from enforcing antitrust laws that protect working families. Today, we announced our plan to step up. #orpol

the best map of Europe

In history class, I never understood how “advanced” civilizations could collapse. It just didn’t seem plausible. Anyway, I’ve seen enough. I get it now.

Los Angeles is a glorious, world-class city, and the ability to move across it quickly makes it unstoppable. Build more homes there now, because it’s going to be everyone’s favorite place to be.

This is why I say that the Supreme Court is playing "Calvin Ball." They change the rules constantly in order to justify whatever ruling will support their own far-right politics. With its MAGA majority, the Supreme Court is nothing more than a wing of the GOP.

Welp. Follow us at LNI.media. Become a member or donate at LNI.media/membership At least five of us used to be at the Post and I’m really proud of what we’ve accomplished in 9 months.

ICE: “Any claim that there are subprime conditions at ICE Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma are FALSE." If that’s true, let our health inspectors in to investigate the 3,500 complaints about worms in food, being served raw meat, refusal to give medication, and much more.

The yellow-legged hornet, which is native to Asia, has spread rapidly through Europe, and its fondness for chowing down on honeybees caused hives and honey production to plunge 30%. Read more at theoregonian.visitlink.me/TNgPPR

I bought the most sentimental thing this weekend! It's a handmade glass ornament filled with rain collected the month and year that I moved here. The man who creates them has been doing it for 27 years. Maybe he started in his 60s? If you're in Rockaway, OR I suggest stopping in before he retires

All of New York state, not just the city, and also applies to anyone with a kid under 6

Lovely reminder of how top down the entire cursed "ai" push has been. This is scam tech inflicted by the gentry directly against the wishes of pretty much everyone else.

This is how we celebrate Gay Wrath Month, bitches.

This graph shows two things, 1) obviously that the cameras reduced speeding, but 2) that the improvement kept getting better over time. Speeders tend to get one or two tickets and then learn and change their behaviour. This isn't a cash grab, it's an extremely useful intervention.

#DACA recipient and nurse’s aide Yenniffer England volunteered in New York during the height of the COVID pandemic to help save lives. The thanks she now gets is possible deportation from the only country she’s known as home: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/daca-recip...

It was 87° as farm workers hand-thinned a green onion field in Lamont, CA. Workers spent their 8 hour day bent close to the ground pulling excess plants. This labor-intensive work ensures proper plant spacing for a healthy, market-ready harvest. #WeFeedYou

...and actual artists are now the only people who understand how the real visual machinery works. That means assuming a new role, as authorities and specialists... the age of being a passive illustrator is over. We need to have control.

My friend told me his town sent a lorry to fix the pothole, and then it fell in, so they sent another lorry and that one fell in too, and I told him it sounds like you’re just feeding lorries to the pothole and then his daughter started crying

It's only 50% on the *difference* between last year and current year per bbl price. So next year that tax is likely zero, and most years would be small.

I AM FASCINATED WITH THIS SITUATION HAPPENING ON MY STREET. This deli closed right at the beginning of covid, been empty since then. Then plywood appeared with this building plan- which is IMPOSSIBLE. This building abuts a "luxury" building that slices diagonally across its space and has balconies!

"The rest of the state is conservative!" Okay, but this one part isn't, and you're screwing those people over because 1. you're racist, 2. you only believe that Republicans should be in power, and 3. you don't care about democracy.

We have been in the chute that leads to the slaughterhouse of democracy since Bush v. Gore. The smell of blood is getting overwhelming.

important thing to note here is dr oz cites a current american replacement rate of 1.5, which is not true. the american replacement level in 2025 was 1.79. interestingly, the white replacement rate is in fact at 1.5 though
