viking libertarian man reinventing Judith Jarvis Thomson's "A Defense of Abortion" from first principles

🧵 This is a BOMBSHELL story—and one that makes my blood boil. To encourage forest regrowth, the USFS is opting for the cheapest solution: Spraying Roundup—a weedkiller that contains glyphosate, which has been linked to harmful health impacts—on anything that could compete with conifers. (1/3)

Louisiana has decided to cede the entire parole decision-making process to an algorithm that will decide if you die in prison or not. There will be no human input or nuance allowed. Even our parole board is sickened by this. LINK: veritenews.org/2025/04/10/t...

“The delay in confirming the outbreak was in part because samples were taken to the national lab in Kinshasa, Congo, at the wrong temperature. That task previously would have been managed by U.S.A.I.D.”

Massive away win for the little fella.

Luigi Mangione is set to present a very creative defense at his state homicide trial. In his decision published this morning, Judge Carro suppressed a loaded magazine from evidence but not the 3D-printed pistol. The alleged manifesto is in, while cell phone and Faraday bag are out.

We already nailed The Odyssey, we can move on to something else.

Glad to see this at the top of r/politics. The mass uninsuring of America, the biggest mass uninsuring since the Great Recession, and the largest ever uninsuring ever on purpose, isn't just a crime against decency. It's the way Trump is most likely to kill you. truthout.org/articles/tru...

2026 is another Brat Girl Summer but due to budget constraints we are all just acting like Ponyo from the film Ponyo (Miyazaki, 2008)

What follows, morally, from the fairly unquestionable at this point fact that we don't live in a democracy? At a minimum, any argument from legitimate authority for an obligation to obey the laws goes out the window. Also hard to see how ordinary Americans bear culpability for Trump's crimes.

Texas eliminated 5 Democratic seats with no voter approval. Louisiana suspended election with no voter approval. Tennessee erased last majority-Black district with no voter approval. But VA Supreme Court blocks redistricting map approved by 3 million voters www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Multiple women serving sentences for nonviolent crimes at the minimum security prison where Ghislaine Maxwell is now serving time were punished for speaking to reporters about the special treatment Maxwell receives. At least two women were transferred to higher security facilities as punishment.

Another #landback win! The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation received 22.5 acres of land back in a culturally significant area. A few years ago, the tribe got 9k acres back & has been using their new land base to restore habitat. tribalbusinessnews.com/sections/rea...

I specialize in drug toxicity & addiction. You can’t get addicted to SSRIs. Some people feel uncomfortable if they quit high doses cold turkey, which isn’t recommended. It’s journalistic malpractice to present these conspiracy lies without clarifying they are untrue, completely ignorant, & dangerous

I think this might be the image of the mission for me.

We have friends everywhere.

me, after coming up with a revolutionary idea and then immediately forgetting it for ever

1. Most farmers assumed he'd send enough free gov't money to farmers to make up for the trade war. In other words, a plan to parasitize the American people. 2. Less taxes, regulations, etc. The usual reasons people vote GOP.

Having now seen Beetlejuice the musical, I simply must know at what point of the show Lauren Boebert and her date were fondling each other. I can’t imagine it was the Dead Mom song??

Spirit Airlines has officially shut down operations. Well, you know what that means...

We have a wild hedgehog who lives in our garden and is friends with our cat (this isn’t their first meeting, they know each other well)

Oh my god. There was no "operation." I know people who did it, on their own, they stopped because ICE largely left, and said I should talk about it. The truth is not in the middle.

"bsky is dead!" okay great this is my diary and none of you are supposed to be reading it anyway

the only thing government does these days is erase black voters, denounce hasan piker, allow us to be infinitely spied on, and approve of grinding childrens corpses into a paste in the middle east

Grateful to The Verge for publishing my essay on why large-language models are not going to achieve general intelligence nor push the scientific frontier. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

RFK Jr. and the CDC’s top official, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, don’t want you to read this. Paper shows that 2025-2026 Covid-19 vaccines were effective. They censored it. That’s exactly why we need to read it. So, we published it in Inside Medicine! Take a look... open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

Ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz will be safe if we build a ballroom for them. Those cruise ships got through safely

Anyway. I’m glad nobody was hurt and I’m sure the journalists who attended the WHCD will not center themselves and their personal experiences and instead remain focused on holding the powerful accountable and informing the people about their government.

I'll be at the Metropolitan Community Church of the Quad Cities, 2930 W Locust St, Davenport, Iowa, this Saturday with Iowa State Rep. Ken Croken to talk about trans rights and my memoir. If you're in the area, I'd love to see you there!
