a few years ago i became fascinated by the american prairie project in montana - bring back bison! - and the dark money campaign to stop it and 'save the cowboy'
sad to see the US govt has reversed its decision to let the bison graze on public lands

Column | I let ChatGPT analyze a decade of my Apple Watch data. Then I called my doctor.
I gave the new ChatGPT Health access to 29 million steps and 6 million heartbeat measurements. It drew questionable conclusions that changed each time I asked.

I count 4 shots into Alex's back after his legally carried and un-drawn firearm was stolen, followed by at least 6 more after he collapsed.
Alex was murdered and the whole world is now witness to his murder.
There are no other explanations.
Prosecute everyone involved.

International law no longer serves as an instrument of global stability—and the U.S. should use this moment to argue for a different approach to the rules of war, John Yoo argues.

Do we know what hotel chains are hosting ICE & CBP in Minneapolis?
It's wild that business schools don't teach "There are still people who don't buy Volkswagons bc of World War 2."
But there's no time like the present for a refresher, I guess.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
