In Committee II of #CITESCoP20, #FIJI stated that, in their country, “marine #turtles are not simply wildlife—they are ancestral symbols, clan totems, part of our sacred stories, & relatives. Illegal take is therefore not just an ecological harm, but a cultural violation.” @trafficintl.bsky.social

"Silvia says she uses the glasses in her job as a schoolteacher.

If you can’t teach without a genAI cheat sheet, then you can’t teach. And if you’re judgement is so bad that you trust genAI for basic facts, you should not be teaching children.

"I just want to find 11,780 votes," he told Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

In other words: the memo is just Vinay Prasad saying shit. But now he has an FDA title behind his name 🤦🏻‍♂️🤮

Right out of the textbooks. Literally "Them."

James Buchanan blew up the Union in defense of slavery and then let his own Secretary of War assist in the lame duck preparations for treason, and Andrew Johnson was a drunken white supremacist who effectively revolted against Congress, and still neither of them were ever so nakedly lawless.

This is a lot of words to say, “Yikes! That Washington Post story about us illegally killing survivors on the open seas was 100% correct!”

As the pandemic progressed, he used wildly contradictory reasons to justify his core, unshakable pandemic belief. sciencebasedmedicine.org/conclusionfi...

My first SBM article 5.5 years ago was about how Vinay Prasad wanted unvaccinated kids to get Covid. That was his animating goal the entire pandemic. sciencebasedmedicine.org/covid-19-vac...

I wonder how many overdoses and deaths Juan Orlando Hernández’s 400 tons of cocaine were directly responsible for in the US.

Prasad was always against the vaccine. It was his core belief. No matter what. sciencebasedmedicine.org/conclusionfi...

🤬 "was found guilty by an American jury last year of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States."

Nothing says MAGA quite like being led by an unhinged immoral serial rapist convicted felon who is constantly threatening to prosecute his perceived enemies for fake crimes whilst illegally pardoning actual criminals in exchange for loyalty. I hate fascists.

But when covid killed 19 kids in a single month it was no biggie.

Mike Johnson, whose claim to fame is a ridiculous selfie with Kid Rock, is furious that we’re pushing to force a vote on extending tax credits. You know what to do:

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Kids deserve “a shared story” of our past, and they can handle “its complexities and contradictions.” Let’s teach them that “Jefferson did a lot of good for many people, even as he also did a lot of harm,” writes @clintsmithiii.bsky.social for @theatlantic.com 1/2 www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Oh man. I tried to read some of this White House “media bias tracker.” Incoherent word salad. Histrionics more at home in North Korea. Obviously written for an audience of one (with a fragile ego). Sad state of affairs when things put out by the White House aren’t worth anyone’s time.

A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.” It’s almost as if there were signs!

For a quick walk around the harbor, it was very rewarding! The first 3 (American Avocet, Black-necked Stilt and Willet) were all together inside the harbor on the tide line (with a second Stilt) then the Pied-billed Grebe I saw on the way back hanging with the Coots as usual. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin

There is no reason for him to be detained, let alone in such grim conditions, other than intentional cruelty that amounts to torture. We must keep fighting, not just for Zahid & his family, but for all immigrants, both documented and undocumented. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/11... 2/

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith: “In short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’” open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make. By @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social

I think often of the time a bunch of murder victims’ families showed Trump treasured photos of their loved ones and he signed them
