PSA for pregnant people or anyone who is planning on becoming pregnant
Pregnant women need to be informed about and protected from SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Autopsies of 18 foetuses showed that "SARS-CoV-2 can be widely distributed in fetal organs through vertical transmission". In addition immune and DNA damage were found in the infected organs

This gets floated, incl. Stewart asking about it here. Newsom looked into it a bit more seriously and didn't pursue it (yet) not because he was being spineless, but because it's not that simple. States (except as employers themselves) don't pay federal taxes, people do. And refusing is a real crime.
““If they’re not gonna run the programs, then what are we paying them for?” she said. “It’s like, you know, you’re paying us for a service and they’re not delivering. So let’s stop paying for it.”

A good thread on why “Blue states should just stop paying federal taxes!” elides a whole host of issues, complications, and potential consequences
There's a whole escalation ladder here. States can and should be taking that whole range seriously, including both what they can do and can rally their people to do. But there's no "stop paying federal taxes" switch states can easily flip, and it would really be bordering on for-real armed conflict.

The existence of an elite pedophilic crime cult based on sexual slavery was bad enough, but it's the "yeah, man, we all know that," attitude of the media that destroys me.
that second part was very much in plain sight, but throughout most of the time Epstein operated was treated as completely normal by his contemporaries and the press.

The world is working on climate action without us—we are letting ourselves get left behind in the past as our competitors race to a livable future. But even this deal doesn’t do what needs to be done. We won’t stop fighting to protect our planet. Our future depends on it.

Good news: the US National Archives system is still making its way through researchers’ Mandatory Declassification Review requests.

Not so good news: the update I received today concerned a request I filed in March 2015, nearly 11 years ago.

Let's turn off the news and remember why we care so much about our parks and public lands—remember how special it feels to actually experience those places.

First performed on November 22, 1931, the 'Grand Canyon Suite' evokes that "national park feeling" unlike any piece of music in U.S. history.

If you’re wondering if AI is an overhyped time bomb propped up by hype cycles and VC adrenaline, it is. Tech bros have been running the same play for decades: prey on people who don’t know better, pump the hype, and count on investors who are terrified of missing out.

A few of you will recognize this as an homage to the Otto Dix painting, Streetfight, from 1927. Dix was witness to the battle in Berlin. The Freikorps, of course, morphed into the Nazi Party.

It's an astounding painting, tragically destroyed during WW2, either on a Nazi bonfire or by bombs.
