“Dr. Antaki, a biomedical engineer, had been building an artificial heart for babies and young children, a pump the size of a AA battery, and he was getting close. But with his research grants stopped, Dr. Antaki slowly drained his lab’s rainy day funds, and he was forced to lay off all his staff.”

I need someone to explain to me exactly how Mamdani manages to sidestep the very bureaucracy that other politicians always blame for their inability to get anything done. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

I have a cover reveal for DON'T BREATHE, the novel about the COVID pandemic if it were 10-15% lethal instead of around 1%. Coming in October!

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

Common Redpolls have been here for a while, but they nest in the Arctic and the remaining stragglers appear to have all left now. This male redpoll, however, was still around a few days ago and frantically foraging to bulk up for the rest of his trip! #Birds 🪶

I am over the moon. I stalked this ruffed grouse for over half an hour, only moving when he drummed so that I could slip close enough through the tangle to get a relatively clear shot. This was filmed with my Z8 and 180-600 lens, hand-held while in a full squat over wet ground. #GlobalBigDay #birds

The U.S. has spent billions to lose a war that enriches its oligarchs, impoverishes the citizenry, sabotages its alliances, and strengthens its enemies. Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power. snyder.substack.com/p/on-superpo...

I've never heard earned wealth phrased this way, but she's right about it.

Am I mistaken in believing a cease fire implies there is no firing? Enquiring minds want to know.
