My mother had chf, and the only time she had fluid in her arm/ hand was after a fall while she was in the hospital. It was being prone and on extra drugs. I don't like online diagnoses, but I can't shake this is diet. If so.... oof.

As a former data labeler myself, I just joined the Data Labelers association today at datalabelers.org You too can aid in their struggle for better working conditions in Nairobi

Why is every tech ceo the villain from the Lorax

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

Can this be a solution?

can this be a solution?

Ms Rachel talking to Deiver Henao, a 9yo in an immigration detention center www.instagram.com/reel/DVzUzoz... What a world

The booties.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

Genius

we don't have to live this way.

"la métaphore"

I am disappointed in Houston weather.

Why is anyone putting bad vibes on Bam Adebayo's amazing night? Kobe was a very flawed individual. Even if he wasn't, the basketball world should not be encased in amber because of the tragic circumstances of his death. Good for Bam! New records are cool.

The Alabama governor commuted the death sentence of a man, set to be executed, who was convicted under the felony murder doctrine — meaning he wasn’t the person to commit a murder. Bolts reported last year on how Alabama is extraordinarily prone to prosecute people for murder under felony murder.

Dammit

I see that a lot when it comes to NYT covering things like trans issues. It's not necessarily that anything is outright false (though, sometimes there is...). It's more about decisions about who gets interviewed for stories, whose stories get lifted up, how it gets framed, the language used, etc.

I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.

Timeline cleanse

I’ve said it before, but People magazine should get a Pulitzer for its coverage of this administration.

A thread. Ditch your Ring doorbell.

Oil trading like a freaking memecoin over the last 5 days is really something

Which would matter more if it weren't after an even bigger spike. It's also already risen a bit and stabilized. For now. Both Brent and West Texas are in the mid $80 range. Which is not good.

Ooooh

USCENTCOM’s entire reason for existence for the last forty years has been to prevent exactly THIS ONE THING from happening and yet

I mentioned it earlier but minesweeping is a pain in the ass. You need mine clearing ships, constant ISR, helo cover, CAP, all the while trying to stop small boats that can converge from any number of locations/direction from laying additional mines

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad: "The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

Did you know no one cares artforms that regularly sell out performances all over the country and the world? VF never beating the allegations of being cultural clout chasers.

Great thread. Wen is the MattY/ Ezra Klein of medicine and science. Why is she still employable?

Today, we're publishing Don't Steal This Book - a (mostly) empty book from almost 10,000 authors, protesting the theft of their work by AI companies. 🧵 1/3

reminded of my most dad coded political opinion which is that we need a universal Naps and Lil Snacks For All program

It helps if that's your norm.

How it works in industrial cities like London and Glasgow. Poor neighbourhoods were built downwind from industries, railways, and factories. Generally winds went going from west to east. Tonight this means if you live in the East End of Glasgow, close your windows & wear a mask tomorrow morning.

Everyone I know in Glasgow is shocked by a massive, MASSIVE fire there tonight. It's taken out the front of one of those big familiar city block buildings. Here's the first people-based fallout of it that I've read. Cannot imagine this, WHAT a devastating thing to happen bloody hell

The lack of coverage today for the Glasgow fire has been absolutely shocking. A major incident, which burnt down a building hundreds of years old, in the centre of the largest city in Scotland, attached to the busiest train station - a fire lasting *7 hours* has been mostly documented by livesteams.

Amazing

Obama’s change in policy towards Cuba and the JCPOA happened, the world didn’t end, everything was fine. Part of manufacturing consent for more war is purposefully forgetting the very recent memory when it was proven to be wholly unnecessary.

feels telling about American foreign policy punditry that while many decry the aimlessness of Trump’s monstrously wrong Iran war there were far more outraged columns over the harm done to US power and influence and standing and interests and example when Biden rightly withdrew from Afghanistan.

The correction fails to air the real footage or inform viewers what was different about it. It claims the error was inadvertent and pretends to honor the fallen service members, but at the end of the day Fox still doesn’t show or describe how they came home to spare Trump from its viewers’ scrutiny.

The reason I fight so hard for trans kids is because I was a trans kid myself. I knew who I was in the year 2000, 12 years old, behind my computer, using the name Erin. I wanted puberty blockers so badly. My body shifted and changed in horrifying ways that I suffered for 15 years over.

i am asking yet again how it is legal for a company to send me a letter saying "sorry somebody stole all your personal information from us and now they have all of your personal information. sucks to be you! bye!" and then they receive no consequences and it happens again a week later

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.

We need to talk about Ruben Ray Martinez as much as we have and do talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Also good

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
