This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

Got a new piece in @goodtape.com on some of the best journos & podcasters covering AI right now: like @bcmerchant.bsky.social @parismarx.com @404media.co @edzitron.com & more. Check it ouuuut....

I'm sorry, I know this is dangerous, it is just SO funny how mad he is

Kimmel comeback: "Walt Disney Co. said Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return to the air on Tuesday, ending a suspension imposed following controversial remarks its ABC late-night host made about the assassination of Republican activist Charlie Kirk." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

BREAKING: The U.K., Canada and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift away from alignment with the U.S.

Fascism is never full. It eats laws, neighbors, memory, until there’s nothing left but the chewing. It will never stop on its own—only when enough people say “no” together, loudly, stubbornly, even stupidly, refusing to be swallowed. Mass noncompliance is the only diet fascism can’t stomach.

Hulu has new King of the Hill; THAT's how much @uncompnmg.bsky.social and I hate these cowards. #cancelHulu #cancelABC #cancelDisney

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Tonight at 11:30

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

i think Kimmel could have the #1 podcast in the world in two weeks if he wanted to

Some killings you're allowed to joke about.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

I for one love to have my nation’s content moderated by like the same five guys with close links to the belligerent ruling faction

May as well say that Radio Rwanda was doing politics the right way if you’re definition of “right” is fully agnostic as to content and impact

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

This is such a good article by @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social on @404media.co - I have wondered about the evolution of this channel a lot!

Fucking *how* do you justify this.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING hits like a 3pm burrito

This bodes... poorly

Heyyy check out this @404media.co article by @rosiejt62.bsky.social about how AI voice agents and voiceover work intersects, featuring quotes from yours truly

Look, I'll be honest, I WAS already aware of the Alan Dershowitz Martha's Vineyard Pierogi Situation b/c I am too online and so, probably, are you. But @davidjroth.bsky.social commentary on said situation is nonetheless invaluable, the Cronkite of our times for petty East Coast political bullshit

More and more I think Rolling Stone might be the most essential reporting in media today:

Trump will sign an executive order today that allows your 401K money to be invested in private equity. Aside from what that means for your retirement fund, it will also roughly DOUBLE the amount of money P.E. firms have at their disposal to take over companies/hospitals/housing/etc.

Cool cool cool, "cautiously," that should alleviate all my concerns

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

finally got my tickets to see cow tools at the sphere

it feels like increasingly the unifying theme that pulls together the various threads of modern american society is You Don't Matter at All

🎶New York in an earthquake, I know, I know, it's serious🎶

FWIW, our decision to move The Reveal from Substack to Ghost recently was very scary because the newsletter is a big chunk of our livelihood. But the transition was seamless and we got a significant subscriber bump for doing it, too. Win-win!

🚨"The change appears to be “the first nationwide abortion ban that Trump is supporting and putting in place.” My latest for @theintercept.com

Setting aside the fact that you cannot effectively stop an armed person who moves quickly and does not care if he lives or dies, how on Earth is this the responsibility of a person who is not in office as opposed to the actual damn mayor who was a cop and who has given the cops everything they want?

Oh no! The podcast I write for covered his space jump with Red Bull. This guy was a legend.

They're calling it the least scanned QR code of all time

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests in Southern California.

That’s why this grindset stuff is bullshit. You aren’t becoming the perfect human reading AI summaries of books and micromanaging every moment of the day, you are becoming the perfect vessel for value to be created and extracted from, you have destroyed yourself.

"So-and-so and 7 others liked your repost" oh you mean the stolen valor notification??

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

Bill de Blasio quickly becoming the Jimmy Carter of NYC mayors.

one thing that is important to emphasize at that this is just republican governance at work! this is what happens when you give republicans power in washington!

It's wild that he did dred scott 2 and dred scott 3 back to back like this. Just dumping the whole season on netflix. We're binge-watching the destruction of our civil rights

Federal agent “I will fucking shoot you” to a man in a car as another agent, wearing an FBI vest and mask covering his face, grabs a woman. According to eyewitness, no warrant was shown or probable cause given.

jesus man

This is a really lucid nuts and bolts expert's explanation of what "AI agents" need to actually do "under the hood" of your phone or computer in order to perform the tasks they're promising. Basically: say goodbye to all separation between apps and OS, and any notion of privacy and security.

I'm not sure this nickname will have the impact they think it will
