Lenacapavir did so well at preventing HIV infection that it hit the threshold where the only ethical thing to do was stop the randomized trial and immediately offer it to literally every participant. That's huge news. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

i tell people this all the time and they look at me as if I've grown a second head. 'meritocracy' was coined to satirise the British landed classes - or in the American idiom, those "born on third but thought they hit a triple" - and arguably it still functions this way though used without humour

A lot of this Biden vibes shit is middlebrow, middle aged white guys freaking out about aging. Seeing the impact of time freaked them out personally. The effect on middle aged men seeing elderly people walking & talking on tee vee - our societal haven of youth and beauty - shouldn’t be minimized

i think the american bloggerati don't want to hear from an anarcho-adjacent Australian who thinks elite male psychodrama is what got us into this mess in the first place and who is baseline skeptical of all centralised executive power. but please keep up the good fight!

I remembered the indecipherable ancient Sumerian bar joke (a dog walks into a bar and says "I can't see anything. I guess I'll open this one") and decided to read some of the other proverbs and jokes from the same collection and discovered that Sumer also had the original "No take! Only throw!" meme

For a while now I have had this icky feeling that a lot of our use of AI is us just using it to find examples to show each other how bad AI is and TBH I think we should probably all stop doing that cause excessive energy consumption doesn't differentiate between real use and joke use. 😬

One of the conclusions I am coming to is that we are too precious about the federal judiciary. You don’t get to be a coequal branch of government, if you don’t have an enforceable ethics code.

in a really very 19th c tutting neighbour way, they see he has exposed himself in public and wish to hide behind his great personal scandal so that none of them are put into a position (of leadership) that will equally expose them to examination and censure

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

Lot of questions about why Macron called snap elections. One clear factor: By ordering speed campaign, he expected Left could not unite, & so they'd be knocked out in Round 1, helping his own party. Instead, Left united within days—& now surged to win biggest bloc in Assembly.

Sympathy. I don't do purity people in any sphere of life. Get out there and try to make things as least bad as possible by whatever means available, rather than waiting for the perfect politician for your virginal vote.
