Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA." This is what's happening in epidemiology.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

They line up perfectly.

Marjorie Taylor Greene to resign from Congress in January

MTG is resigning from Congress because she has agreed to be my business partner in a cart selling the world's first alcoholic hot dogs

Today was the day Zohran Mamdani finally became president

This sounds like the country’s worst minor league team

⚡️ Marjorie Taylor-Greene says she is RESIGNING from Congress in January, citing death threats and constant attacks from Trump: “I refuse to be a battered wife hoping it all goes away and gets better.”

#BREAKING: A student intern at Rhode Island Superior Court was briefly taken into custody by ICE this afternoon before a judge intervened, 12 News has learned. Story by @jusolyn.bsky.social and @timwhiteri.bsky.social: ⤵️

a lot of u owe the president an apology

We’ve got like 40 people at the firm. Every one of them has a desk phone. You have to dial 8 to get an outside line. Lots of people are used to dialing 9, then 1, then a number. Under our phone system, every time anyone dials 911, I get an emergency email, even if they immediately hung up.

Incredible headline.

I hope this is an excerpt from a new Muppets movie and is followed by a "Hiiii-yaaaah" and a karate chop.

I just watched the whole video, and not a single reporter stood up for her. Everyone just pivoted to asking questions on other topics. This is shameful.

This is the sort of brazen lie you tell when you’re trying to demonstrate your power by showing you can say shit that everyone knows is a lie, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

"Quiet! Quiet, Piggy."

…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues? Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened! Because access beats out solidarity, every day of the week. people.com/donald-trump...

lol he sounds like the fucking Penguin here

Well I’m glad he apologized for… continuing to e-mail Epstein. Because that’s what people had a problem with.

If you find out that the United States Department of Justice has subpoenaed information about you from Bluesky, please don’t post through it here on Bluesky. That makes Ken angry.

People in Sweden have social security, affordable healthcare, strict gun laws, 5 weeks paid annual leave & a year maternity leave A night in hospital costs $10. "Prescription drugs have an annual cap of $210. The Swedish government is not communist. It is a democratic socialist country

"There is an assault on the idea of cooperation to solve big problems in the world....it doesn’t even work on its own terms. This approach doesn’t make us more prosperous. It doesn’t win us more respect. It ends up costing lives." www.thebulwark.com/p/this-may-b...

“Your organs are going to make us a lot of money, friend! A lot of money.”

It could be in the form of toothpicks It could be a origami crane It could be a performative dance

The $2,000 rebate could be the friends you made along the way

Governments and voters are both reacting to algorithm-shaped “public opinion,” not grounded priorities. Immigration feels urgent because platforms amplify fear, pulling parties into hollow performances of toughness. The far right reads that drift as confirmation it’s winning.

And that means that democracy doesn't die in darkness, but in the light of a billion glowing screens.

In the end, we no longer operate in a marketplace of ideas. Platforms run a marketplace of feeling, where attention, not evidence, decides what rises. Emotional charge beats truth every time. Politics adapts to that logic, producing hollow performances instead of functional decisions.

Look what @dandrezner.bsky.social started over at the hellsite?

This is just one of many journalism outlets and law enforcement bigwigs who have in the last 24 hrs said: maybe we should review how Epstein died. And a) yes and b) that is such a bad trend line for GOP. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMTg8geL/

I found a photo of me that's perfect for my New York Times profile

C'est moi

Like milk left in the sun.

Trump un-endorses Marjorie Taylor Greene

trump threatening to have bondi investigate “democratic banks” lol yes definitely follow the money that will work out well for you

I found my new epitaph: "I was accused more than once by some Board members and the Governor’s office of being stubborn. Perhaps I am. But stubborn and principled often look the same, especially to those who are unprincipled."

Wrote about Epstein, the misogynistic culture that protected him, and the banality of evil when it comes to harming women and children. He was not a unique man. open.substack.com/pub/houseofm...

I've got a new piece up @thenation.com about how the far right's obsession with dismantling the urban-based "Professional Managerial Class" and the inevitable collateral social damage of Trump's mass deportation campaign have already reversed MAGA's modest gains in cities.

Something funny about Larry Summers musing about how clever he was in calling women dumb while asking Mr Sex Crimes about how to run game

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

No wonder one of the first things the Trump administration did was to no longer release the White House visitor log.

About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.

Searchable data base of the released Epstein Files. When do we start locking up the men who raped these little girls? couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea... #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

So I actually just watched an exchange from Trumper media in which it was explained that Trump didn't do anything wrong because Epstein only "gave" the women to Trump after they'd aged out of the 15-17 massage age range.

Worth 1,000 words. This picture is so revealing about so much about this “administration.” Step back five feet from the dram of any photo about any Trump action or policy, and you’ll see the boom arms, the rigging, the floodlights…

The recent Epstein emails have badly damaged Donald Trump’s credibility

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein
