Imagine when The Terminator came out if you told someone that in 40 years the world’s richest weirdo would fill the sky with a communications net, embrace AI, and now promise to build an army of robots, and nobody seems inclined to stop him.

Can we get an expansion team in Plano with a guy named Luka?
Silver added that relocation of a current team "is not on the table" right now.

Apologies to all Sixers fans who want to send the team to Seattle, Las Vegas and/or Siberia atm

I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis.

It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.

The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

This is all so nuts.... and they have blocked Moderna's flu RNA vaccine from moving ahead for regulatory approval.
February 11, 2026 at 1:07 AM
Yes, it is sabotage. Hopefully this decision will be overturned.
At this point we have to assume this administration is unlikely to approve any new mRNA interventions and will be extremely resistant to approving any new vaccines. Sabotaging our national health and medical science.
FDA declines to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot
Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Food and Drug Administration has taken an aggressive stance against mRNA technology.

I am grateful that Hilari could continue giving of herself and that those gifts live on in someone else who can continue to make a difference in their family and community.

"President Carter always said he wanted to outlast the last Guinea worm. While he didn't quite get his wish, he and Mrs. Carter would be proud to know there were only 10 human cases reported in 2025. And they would remind us that the work continues until we reach zero," said Carter Center CEO”
A year after Jimmy Carter's death, the disease he swore to eradicate reaches an all-time low
Jimmy Carter made eradicating the Guinea worm a top mission of The Carter Center. Now it could soon become the second disease eradicated in history.
