Remember when Ozzy had to testify in a wrongful death suit against him because he once sang a song about suicide?
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Our health insurance is going up by a third this year, even though we’ve never received any of the subsidies that are expiring. More expensive insurance for poor people means more expensive insurance for all people.
Whelp, it’s official. In 2026 with a marketplace plan, our family of 4 will spend $23,381 for the year on premiums alone. This doesn’t cover the adults’ teeth and eyes. GREAT COUNTRY GREAT SYSTEM!

Love it when people say “full stop” and then keep going.

Admittedly pedantic 🧵
The phrase “keep your powder dry” does NOT mean “hold your fire” or “ration your resources,” or “don’t act prematurely,” or anything of the sort, even though that’s how everyone uses it.

Like 12 years ago I wrote a piece for slate arguing that “terrorist” had become a loaded, incoherent term that journalists should generally avoid. Report what people do instead of labeling what they are, etc. The danger being that people would start to call anyone they don’t like a terrorist. Well..

The new suburban H&H Bagel outside Knoxville is an appalling dilution of the original NYC brand. Indistinguishable from grocery store bagels.

Lots of the arguments about why Graham Platner’s past shouldn’t be disqualifying are very good arguments about someone other than Graham Platner.

FWIW I think the primary purpose of the new Trump agency bsky accounts is probably to attract replies they can use as evidence of how unreasonable we are here. Not telling you what to do, but I plan to not give them any oxygen.

FWIW, when Consumer Reports started looking at lead in protein powder a few years ago, the subsequent scholarly follow-up yielded much less alarming results. Not saying the new CR work is bad, but I’m waiting to see how it’s received by the toxicology community. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

HA. As I used to tell my journalism students, you don’t know what people believe; you only know what they say. The distinction is particularly meaningful here, @dawgnation.bsky.social.

We were chatting under the basketball arena in our commencement garb when a student rushed over and asked, “Is anybody here a doctor?” Jeff replied, “…of math?”
(A graduate had passed out and the situation was well in hand. Dr. Denny gave all for his students. And he was sneaky hilarious.)
