The deeper point, however, is that Western medicine was the Four Humors and bleeding, but nobody talks about resurrecting that until you get out to the MAHA/Deep Stupid Hippie world. The fact people who are in no sense Western contributed to this advance is Not To Be Noticed, either.

Modernism gets a bad reputation and it's possible to take it too far, certainly, but one of the things it gets right is that certain things are not contingent. CAR T-cell therapy works regardless of where you are from and what traditions you hold to. Human rights are the same way.

I've nearly been run over twice, both times when I had legal right of way. One time the driver was an old person who probably needed an uncomfortable conversation with their kids. The other time, it was the most vacuous-looking idiot I've ever seen, and my younger sister was nearly run over too.
Introduce yourself with what almost killed you:

Hi, I'm a bad driver, a rattlesnake, carbon monoxide, and cancer.
Hello, I'm a ruptured brain aneurysm.

Last month, I wrote on all legislative races of 2025. There were still a few elections left in the year, however. But now, they're all done.

And so we've updated the analysis:

—Democrats flipped 25 legislative seats in 2025.
That's 21% of the 119 GOP-held seats at play.
—The GOP flipped 0.
In 2025, Democrats Flipped 21 Percent of GOP-Held Legislative Seats - Bolts
Editor’s note: The article was updated on Dec. 31 to reflect the results of three special elections held in late December, none of which resulted in a partisan flip. At... Read More

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

If you read any detailed history of World War II, it will quickly dispel the notion that Hitler was a genius. His main advantage was being insanely aggressive at a time when every other country was cautious. It worked ... until it didn't. And tens of millions of people died because of it.
Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”

Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

Put links to university press website for books 2026 challenge. I’ve found with coupon codes or seasonal sales I can get them less expensive than amazon.* It also provided the university press catalog for new finds!

*If I understand correctly, authors don’t get a choice on where books are listed.

Big protests going in Iran, and the state is trying to put them down with force, already killing 3.

I don't know where this is going, and the Iranian government has survived big protests before. But whatever happens, it's admirably brave when people take on violently repressive regimes.
At least 3 reported killed during widening protests in Iran sparked by ailing economy
Protests over Iran's struggling economy have spread into rural areas, with at least three people killed.

the psychosis generator seems heavily if not mostly a law of large numbers thing and to a lesser extent model specific. i don’t really care that much bc safeguards are still inadiquate but its not at the scale that non consensual porn is happening at and its a much harder problem to deal with

@kenwhite.bsky.social do you generally recommend clients run a website completely awash in user-generated revenge porn, including of minors? And, of course, they provide an extremely badly safeguarded AI that is easily prompted to provide that material.

For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok.

Musk's only apparent response thus far has been to crack jokes about it.
