What I found profoundly affecting was when I was talking about how I try to take care of my goats when they're in labor and women started popping up in my Twitter mentions to say they wished they'd gotten care like that.
Please hear me when I say that

1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements

2) they pre-date the age of social media

3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

neither of these people should ever work in journalism again and New York magazine should reexamine everything she ever wrote

RFK should, of course, never work anywhere at all

Old white dudes fantasizing about going John Brown on ice agents? This shit might really be heading for a tipping point
speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency
Kempsville High School assistant principal charged for threats against police, ICE
Virginia Beach assistant principal John Bennett and Mark Bennett charged for conspiring threats against police and ICE agents. Both are held without bond.

NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated.

I don’t know how this information can enter the system without exploding the bubble.

But sometimes bezzles visible for months before crash.

Waiting for the feds?

feels like a lot of people learned about COBOL in the past six months and now want to make it a big bad guy, but literally the scaffolding preventing tech from imploding, so what are we doing guys?
“It’s our systems. We have 35 and 40-year-old systems that run COBOL,” MDHS Chief Communications Officer Mark Jones said, explaining the delay in releasing full SNAP benefits.

This shit is so bad and wrong at every level, including the meta level, since Lizza has been sitting on all this shit while RFK, Jr. has been taking a bone saw to the medical system, and he's trickling the shit out in dribs and drabs to prop up his subs on the nazi newsletter service.

Fucked up.

the medical disinformation surrounding 'gender affirming' care is not different from the medical disinformation surrounding vaccinations.

Ok, so: I was raised in Boston and my first beat was in Rhode Island so I KNEW:

the rule you learned growing up as a kid, and then as a reporter, was this:

NEVER FUCK A KENNEDY.

NEVER GET INTO A MOVING CONVEYANCE WITH A KENNEDY.

NOT A BOAT.

NOT A PLANE.

NOT A CAR.

important that people understand that leftists are completely aware that, while trump’s enthusiastic embrace of mamdani is extremely hilarious, trump is an out and out fascist and not an ally.

What this "gmail is scanning your emails for ai and how to turn it off" kerfluffle this week has taught me is that I have apparently been running gmail in its barebones form for years because I don't have any of this stuff folks are losing by turning off the smart features.
