In the richest country in the world, you shouldn't be afraid to leave your corporate job and start that small business you've been dreaming of simply because you can't afford to lose your healthcare. Medicare for All is good for business.

was going to post about how the knicks are probably leos because all my tiktok astrology girlies are telling me that things will start looking up for leos starting JUNE 13 but ANNOYINGLY they are apparently geminis SAD www.nba.com/knicks/date-...

The cherry on top: The Knicks won + neither Eric Adams nor Andrew Cuomo were the mayor

Pretty crazy that giant companies are cutting A/B commercials for the NBA champs. That New York State of mind one was good though

look I realize I’m a New Yorker but separately on a deep spiritual level I also understand futzing around for the first three quarters and realizing all of a sudden you have to show up for the fourth

The Knicks only lost one game in the last two months and it was the one Trump went to lmao

we already had a really cool system that involved releasing sterilized flies to out compete the existing ones this process eradicated screwworms in the US since the 1960s but I guess that doesn't sound bAdAsS enough, so sure, shove chatGPT into a battery powered kite, see if that does anything

"FOR THE FEW WHO INTEND TO MATTER" ok calm down voldemort

Academic writing should be addressed neither to the public nor to other academics. It should be addressed to a single interlocutor with whom you have a petty rivalry and whose work you are trying to discredit

that might've made me an nba girlie. amazing. i love sportsball

"An honest look at where the industry stands with regard to achieving artificial general intelligence—however that’s defined—shows a vast and perhaps permanent gulf between machine and human intelligence," writes Sara Goudarzi @saragoud.bsky.social.

Excellent read, here. "AGI is bullshit." thebulletin.org/2026/06/agis...

look i know we have bigger fish to fry but this is criminal behavior

France is fundamentally shifting its nuclear posture. In a major policy evolution, President Macron announced a new doctrine of "forward deterrence" (dissuasion avancée) that opens French nuclear operations to nine European allies. What does this mean for NATO? 🧵

not me googling to see how easy it is for humans to get screwworm since we're heading to new mexico for a two-week backpacking trip soon....

On this #WorldOceansDay, The New York Times uses our research on the diversity of fishes caught in the worlds bottom trawls to argue why it is time to rethink this widespread and problematic fishing practice. @ubcoceans.bsky.social @projectseahorse.bsky.social @amandavincent.bsky.social

incredible news: @saragoud.bsky.social shows it *is* possible to write a feature about AGI that doesn't weirdly anthropomorphize the LLMs and robots or ask them "are you alive?" and then reprint the answer verbatim. major mainstream magazines, please take note!

I have resigned from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol's Independent Standards Board. The Protocol is openly violating its own rules and has effectively delegated forest carbon accounting standards to a secret, industry-led working group. ghgpolicy.org/s/2026-06-08...

Stay cool @carleton.edu! Our new sensors are in House Field and in the shade near the Carleton Farm. For folks teaching about heat exposure, wearing sensors is also a great way to illuminate why it matters how we work outside and consider safety.

AGI gets thrown around a lot. So, for the @thebulletin.org I spoke to researchers and took a look at the term and reality of AI that could rival human intelligence. Turns out it's a better tool for raising capital than a scientific milestone.

ooof launching a new newsletter project in 2026 seems like a mistake to me. maybe it's my own personal experience (as a writer of a newsletter-on-hiatus but also a longtime reader of newsletters who doesn't open any with regularity rn) i think readers have already hit peak newsletter saturation

“If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any.” yup, that about sums it up

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

I might actually be the youngest person quoted in this (long, well-written and well-sourced) article. thebulletin.org/2026/06/agis...

ew lol this is embarrassing! why are they not embarrassed?!

Preserving data that the US government has long collected and should keep collecting is essential to maintaining the role of science in our society—and to keeping you and your family safe, write Richard Aslin, Nigel Goldenfeld, Daniel M. Kammen, and Lynn Nadel.

I thought people were kidding, turns out Elon really did axe the screwworm containment program back in March 25. fucking imbecile www.agri-pulse.com/articles/226...

oh, noooo

hey quick question, am I having a stroke

This is a depressing update. Earlier this year I got on a call with a WordPress rep who reached out after I imported my 1k+ Substack subscribers. One of the things I told him was that they need to give *writers* the option to turn AI tools off. All of them. Preferably with one box.

Screw around and find out? From August 2025: "Former officials with experience in screwworm eradication warned that the Trump administration’s work force reductions and cuts to agricultural research could complicate its attempt to stamp out the parasite."

my last word on this subject for now is that it was way cooler to be seduced by the 1990s "got milk?" propaganda by hot/cool people posing with milk mustaches than by protein bros on tiktok. just saying!

you don't need all that protein

Have you seen this? bsky.app/profile/deep...

ok my story on this went up but folks were pretty reticent to chat. still, getting some good feedback behind the scenes! if people start mounting a response or resistance to this, i would love to hear about it

"Our decision was based in part on the recommendations of the science community outlined in the 2025 National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics report, Forecasting the Ocean: The 2025-2035 Decade of Ocean Science.”

New York lawmakers pass one-year ban on new data centers

"Our decision was based in part on the recommendations of the science community outlined in the 2025 National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics report, Forecasting the Ocean: The 2025-2035 Decade of Ocean Science.”

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

In a telling demonstration of the thought and care that went into this decision, both NSF spokespeople who responded to my emailed questions with the same prepared word salad misprinted the organization’s name as Woods Hole Oceanographic “Institute.” My latest @thebulletin.org:

This makes sense given ASM’s transition to a diversified multinational industrial conglomerate whose focus has shifted beyond its traditional role as a professional society for American microbiologists Wait no

noooooo this is a journalist's nightmare. do you know how much time i spend on random org websites trying to figure what their stupid acronym stands for? and an acronym without meaning is like truly the worst thing in the world

yikes
