It is absolutely insane to me that this case is still going on after all these years. This was an incredibly obviously bullshit censorial case that the First Amendment should not allow... and yet courts keep reviving it every time it seems like it's been killed.

I’m REALLY disturbed by how much horrific anti-Semitic bigotry I’m seeing casually thrown around these days, yes. Becoming a virulent anti-Semite is not doing a damn thing to alleviate the very real suffering of Palestinians. But somehow, I don’t think that’s what it’s about for these people.

we have to stop this anti-Semitic freak shit before it festers further. It is not fucking acceptable

It's chilling to see that team Platner will not (cannot, perhaps) even allow for the possibility that someone could have genuine misgivings about someone with an explicitly nazi tattoo

one the delayed deal news from bluesky…

General species consensus 🎯

Very weird to announce funding ~a year after the deal. "In April 2025, Bluesky raised $100 million in Series B funding led by Bain Capital Crypto, with participation from Alumni Ventures, Anthos Capital, Bloomberg Beta, Knight Foundation and True Ventures." bsky.social/about/blog/0...

I've had several former undergrad students who have gone on to graduate education in the healthcare field (med school, PT, dental school, etc.) tell me that the use of "AI" in their programs by their fellow students is rampant What this means for the future of healthcare is quite alarming

Claim 3: “Fossil fuel markets are highly competitive”. If, as it appears, his yardstick is subsidies, he really needs to do some research. Globally, the IMF states, explicit subsidies for fossil fuels were $725 billion in 2024. Implicit subsidies were $6.7 trillion. www.imf.org/en/publicati...

You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵

The last text message Zuck ever sent me was the night before they renamed the company to Meta, telling me to pay attention in the morning because he thought I'd be really excited by what they were going to announce. The next morning I kept waiting for the thing he thought I'd be interested in.

just a thought: no movement should ever depend so completely on the reputation of its chosen figurehead that one of its founders is forced to make a calculation like this on behalf of its survival

sick of technical athleisure fabrics. give me some modal, cotton, linen, recycled wool or silk, denim without the stretch, etc.

I think this story is helping me understand why the generation Dolores Huerta inspired was so strongly tied to the idea that activism should be intersectional before anything else. It's not a buzzword, it's about keeping abusers out of your movement

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is very very low level of job creation. If you adjust the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

​Canada decides that if the United States is going to treat it like a trade rival, it might as well start acting like one. By importing the very Chinese EVs Washington fears, Ottawa essentially parks a "Made in China" fleet on Detroit’s lawn, proving a 25% tariff is a great way to lose a friend.

The cryptocurrency industry super PACs dumped $14.2 million into the Illinois primaries. 90% of that – $12.8 million – was wasted, in that it went to opposing Democratic candidates who won their primaries (Stratton in the Senate race, Ford in H-07) or supporting their opponents.

The US is no longer a liberal democracy, according to the top global watchdog on freedom and democracy. We're falling fast, and are now classed the same as Guatemala, Colombia, and Peru www.v-dem.net/documents/75...

If you're not familiar, the format for a "truth sandwich" is: * start with a true statement * introduce the newsworthy lie or distortion * true statement again The idea is that the false claim should not be the first or last impression. It's useful when you think a lie should not be ignored.

We're at war. Democracy is crumbling. People are dying. But we still have to care about why research on ultra-processed foods is complete garbage. So here is a thread about why that is. Start with this WSJ piece. (gift link) 🧵 www.wsj.com/health/welln...

SCOOP— Trump wants a 24k gold coin w/ his face on it for America 250, but an official at a late February coin advisory committee meeting called it something only done by "nations ruled by kings or dictators." After NYT reported the criticism, US Mint yanked online vid of the meeting w/o explanation.
