The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

The Democratic Party’s reaction to their candidate having a bad debate substantially outpaces the Republican Party’s reaction to their candidate being convicted of multiple felonies, held liable for rape, and owing judgments in the hundreds of millions for defamation and fraud.

“Biden’s Push to End the War in Gaza” is such a disingenuous podcast title considering Biden isn’t using any of the many, many levers available to him to stop the genocide — like maybe stop funding it and supplying all the weapons

I've seen headlines about how the stock value of Truth Social dropped after Trump's conviction, but really it was barely affected. Check out 1 day of data vs. year to date. The stock price was lower last week than it is today

I think I'll stick with the review from Nature:

"[T]he book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing an epidemic of mental illness is not supported by science."

This incredibly important space telescope is ALREADY IN SPACE, functioning beautifully, and on track to continue delivering astonishing cosmic discoveries for another 5-10 yrs. Abandoning it in space, turning off the receivers, and discontinuing its research would be horribly wasteful. #SaveChandra

I've had some great conversations about security with Micah and he has an excellent understanding of the interactions between security and usability and how real people approach both and this is a great opportunity for someone to hire a person who knows how to apply security to real life

“It’s a little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but from Israel’s perspective I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up,” Kushner said. Congratulations, everyone, we have now officially reached the Gaza Trump Tower stage of "ethnic cleaning."
