This is a really well-done article and a fascinating topic

Scoop: NIH is on a mission to enlist one million Americans to share their genetic data to help with health research through a precision medicine program called “All of Us.” What participants don’t know is that at one research site, Palantir stores the data. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes this morning. He said, in a weak but firm voice, “As-salamu alaykum, Brother Thrasher. Elaine brought me ‘The Overseer Class.’ Good stuff, but you are a touch too harsh on Clarence and Condi!”

This is horrific, a preventable death of a student with sickle-cell trait: “The facts show this was an intentional, deliberate hazing perpetrated by a coach who knew C.J.’s health condition made him vulnerable to extreme workouts,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said in a statement.”

Saying you're the "most physically attacked" MP when two MPs have been killed in the last decade is just horribly self-absorbed.

bluesky was right about platner, right about ICE, right about dems fighting back vs. moving to the middle, right about AI and data centers…

Thousands of people lost coverage over as little as $8 in delinquent payments. They didn't know their zero-dollar premiums had gone up and they owed money. Most now can't get coverage until 2027. n.pr/4b83NWk

“Zohran Mamdani — proving himself to have Trump-like influence within his fiefdom” You really don’t get it, do you?

Florida folks: If you have O- blood and are of African or African American descent, OneBlood is searching for donors who have a rare antigen that matches with a teenager with sickle cell disease who needs 50 units of blood so she can have a bone marrow transplant.

“The devastation has raised questions about the government’s role in the loss of so many lives in structures that building experts had been warned for years could not withstand a major earthquake… construction proceeded hastily, with design details and information about soil tests largely withheld”

Dying as he lived, unwinding democracy through procedural loopholes.

So this is the Bostonian kaiju.

”The starter home your American kids can’t afford was turned into an Airbnb.”

Orange/Blue/Silver Line: Trains bypassing L’Enfant Plaza (Orange/Blue/Silver), Smithsonian, and Federal Triangle due to weather-related evacuation. Customers will use these stations to seek shelter.

What??!

It is like these people can’t find belonging anywhere so they hold up these signs looking for any other sexists/racists/bigots to bond with. It’s so sad.

This is Therese Patricia Okoumou, who 8 years ago on this day climbed the Statue of Liberty to protest ICE disappearances

3. On July 3, 1917, newspapers everywhere blazed headlines of atrocities in America's heartland. "100 NEGROES SHOT, BURNED, CLUBBED TO DEATH IN E. ST. LOUIS RACE WAR!" In the midst of WWI, the country had begun to explode in extreme racial violence around the nation

Anyone else feel like they‘re surrounded by tiny paparazzi during lightning bug season?

Literally shut this entire industry down.

I don't want to hear politicians running on "we need to see each other as neighbors again" bullshit. No I want you to run on expanding the commons and offering actual SPACES in communities where people can gather across differences. That means no rhetoric but ACTUAL $$$ invested.

A significant turning point in queer history. The first mainstream publication, a single column article of 897 words. alt-text: The New York Times, Friday July 3, 1981 Rare cancer seen in 41 homosexuals Outbreak occurs among men in New York and California — 8 died in 2 years By Lawrence K. Altman

Such a sick idea embraced by so much of the world for so long

Cold under the armpits helps too! And for heat stroke, ice packs at the neck, pits, and groin.

A least one ICE detention facility in Arizona is “closed for measles”. It is not clear how many people are infected or have been exposed, and it seems that there may be outbreaks in two facilities.

The anti-vax group formerly led by Robert Kennedy Jr. has been promoting the story of a woman who says vaccines killed her 18-month-old twins. She’s the lead plaintiff in the group’s lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics. Well, now she’s been charged with suffocating the toddlers.

The highest population of pediatric asthma in the country will get hit with an air quality that is 4,000% higher than the worst air pollution in the entire world. Government warns Trump's fireworks display will make air quality 'hazardous' www.alternet.org/fireworks-di...

Words matter: More than a third of the food sold in the US is never eaten, "in part because consumers throw away food they think has gone bad when it hasn’t." "Sell by" dates, which tell retailers when to rotate inventory, are part of the problem. So California... www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/u...

Zero surprise here 🫤

No, but I remember 2-3 years ago when a dude was killed in a cheese vault in Italy when a huge wheel of aging cheese fell on him, so you have to be careful of that stuff. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/i...

Working with complex systems makes even the most mundane thing fascinating. This is cortical reaction in 🐸 embryos. Upon fertilisation, ions are released and draw water in thru osmosis, making zygotes float and orient according to gravity. Do you see the waves?👀 not quite #fluorescencefriday #devbio

If companies can't run data centres without polluting our air and water, pushing up energy bills, abusing workers' rights, harming local communities or wrecking the climate – then they shouldn't be allowed to run them A safe climate and healthy environment are necessities – tech bro profits aren't

Can Lebron do this? I think not #sqrlpix
