On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!

I miss the old Kermit voice very much. But Jim Henson died 35 years ago, and I don't know if it makes sense to insist that the people who do Kermit and Rowlf and Ernie imitate his voice forever.

youtube is now showing me random congressmen stunting on ice. “abolish ice” is not only a winning strategy, it’s quickly becoming the *minimum* position that the country will accept. anyone who fights it will be out of congress before they know it m.youtube.com/shorts/6l_XP...

we really need to talk about how AI is being used to provide cover for government policy based on deadly misinformation — and how every one of us who writes about AI in health, but doesn't center that fact, is lending credence to the enterprise.
NEW: NEW: HHS is working on an AI tool to analyze VAERS—a database of vaccine injury claims to which anyone can make submissions—and "generate hypotheses." This is from @emilymullin.bsky.social:
HHS Is Making an AI Tool to Create Hypotheses About Vaccine Injury Claims
Experts worry Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Health Department will use an internal AI tool to analyze vaccine injury claims in a way that furthers his anti-vaccine agenda.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

once again. just because a woman has been open about sexuality online, doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to be sexual all the time. if you can’t control yourself, you’re not a safe man no wonder how many leftist podcasters you follow

these are *astonishing* numbers. incredible work by everyone involved. seeing so many community efforts like this pop up out of nowhere fills me with joy and hope. i love it
We have sent out almost 475,000 whistles for free, and our spreadsheet crew just told me that 80% of them are going out within 4 days of the request being made.
7% go out the same day.
98% within a week from this team of entirely volunteers who are just big fuckin' mad & want to help.
