I can't breathe the air, I can't eat lettuce, I can't afford gas, and my kids have measles. But at least now our soldiers will have enough testosterone.

People are gonna fucking hate this if it actually happens. Enjoy all these post 8am sunrises

Meta’s AI problems are international.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

This is a horrific story.

this is legitimately fascinating as an a real life demonstration of why trump is flailing

OPINION: "The flawed American Experiment in democracy, and maybe the world as we know it, cannot survive if the mentally and physically deteriorating Trump is allowed to serve out the final 1,017 days of his term." — Inquirer columnist Will Bunch 🔗 www.inquirer.com/opinion/tr...

Great to see our work making it onto the media agenda.

Both Polymarket and kalshi reached out to pay me to put their ads in my newsletters in the last month. Told both to fuck off, obviously. But I bring it up because it seems like the only way to make $ right now is to work for some entity destroying society in a race to the bottom. It fucking sucks.

"Put simply, 'child care or war' is a false choice. The U.S. has the money to pay for child care, even if we are also funding a costly, unpopular and arguably unconstitutional war. That money is just stuck in the wrong hands." My latest for @ms.now : www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

I heard someone say that we should be registering voters at gas stations.

I’m alive today because a doctor with more than four decades of experience treating Black patients recognized my symptoms from a very small number of cases he’d seen in his career. This may seem quaint in light of big data and AI, but if it’s your life at stake you’d think (very) differently.

AI and a newish radiologist said the growth in my breast was benign. It was v small, circumscribed. A 2nd radiologist with decades of experience said, “it looks fine but I still don’t like it. Get a biopsy.” It was triple neg breast cancer. We need more experts. radiologybusiness.com/topics/artif...

It's been 66 days since agents killed Alex Pretti. DHS has body-cam footage. They haven't released it. 66 days and counting. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Buried in here is another data point for an obsession of mine: kids sports “travel teams” are insane, a huge drian on financial resources, and the free time of particulalry moms. And for what? The dream of athletic scholarships? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/u...

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

Someone please commission Dr. Corrigan to write this up on Monday.

Remember when his Sieg Heil was just a gesture of heartfelt joy?

WOW: DOJ redactions hid key details about Trump’s Epstein ties — and Rep. Dan Goldman just revealed what they were trying to cover up. In the unredacted document shown today by Goldman, we can now read the full notes from a 2009 conversation involving Jeffrey Epstein and Trump’s attorneys. 1/

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

Researchers from Princeton, UT-Austin, and Emory found that climate action consistent with the 2-degree-Celsius target would avoid more than 13.5 million premature deaths from air pollution between 2020 and 2050 — overwhelmingly in low- and middle-income countries.

There are many awesome things about Ryan Coogler, but he is exceptionally good at doing artful and thoughtful and layered work and also wanting people to enjoy the movie. And in fact, if you *just* enjoy the movie, that is fine. None of this is in conflict, geniuses are often fun, etc.

Got home in time for this moment!!! So happy for Autumn Durald Arkapaw. What a moment in Oscars history.

Big respect. “You lose your country with countless small acts of complicity.”

Why did I think they simply canceled all of them. Nope it was discriminatory

Huge NYT article on the back story of those two weeks in March/April 2025 when DOGE illegally terminated hundreds of NEH grants. Gift link!! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/a...

Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

Yes, the illegal war is unpopular, damaging to the stock market, and making everything more expensive. But are we talking about Epstein? Mission accomplished.

😊

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

Over 120 people have been hospitalized due to measles in Utah alone. "It is, at this time a real threat in our state and something we can do to stop it," said Dr. Leisha Nolen, state epidemiologist… pleading for people to get themselves and their children vaccinated.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

My kids have measles, there are no jobs, and the country is at war. But at least now I can buy raw milk with my HSA card.

Superb.

BLUMENTHAL: Wouldn't you agree no citizen working lawfully should be arrested? NOEM: There are times when they may be arrested or detained until identity is confirmed B: Would you agree citizens should not be arrested? N: When there's probable cause ... B: They said, 'Get him. He's Mexican'

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

The Trump admin keeps insisting that a lot of the accusations in the Epstein Files were baseless, and surely some were. But the FBI held FOUR different interviews with one of Trump's accusers and then SIX more with another accuser, which suggests the agents thought *these* women were on the level.

We should do everything we can to help Democratic politicians leave Twitter behind. Help the AG out!

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

How will the U.S. pay back the illegal tariffs? Every reporter should reference this and ask Trump exactly how much money is on “the tariff shelf.” Cut ‘em a check. The “tariff shelf” is among the more unhinged of Trump’s many unhinged statements on his illegal tariffs.

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.

I covered cross-border human trafficking for years and I'm not sure a headline has ever made me madder

“Federal investigators examined Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with a Customs and Border Protection officer who worked at the St Thomas airport to which Epstein regularly flew on his private planes before traveling by boat or helicopter to his private island.”
