2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.

Paleontology and archeology are ESPECIALLY exciting right now (although I am admittedly pretty biased). So much is on the horizon right now.

If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years.
we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this??
between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright

Okay, here's the silly sewing project I was doing: this Vulpix plush. I made it because I felt like it. When I work digitally for too long I start getting the urge to do something analog, and this is the form it took this time. I think it came out pretty well!

i personally get STI testing around every 1.5 months. some folks do every 3 months. the CDC’s bare minimum rec is once a year.
i have never gotten an STI because any people I do hook up with are also testing, have destigmatized disclosure, & prioritize communication.
PrEP & DoxyPEP save lives.

If you think public health policy/ advice should be
“You don’t need testing if you’re sexually active and you’re super duper sure your partner wouldn’t cheat on you”
Instead of
“Sexually active people should get tested regularly”
You are reactionary

The payment gatekeeping dynamics need to be broken up or things will get *even worse.*
I reckon Brazil could throw a hell of an elbow by exporting their Pix payment system, too, since that ALSO circumvents the main gatekeepers.

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

Don’t let CEOs quibble over how much they’re pushing for AI. Regurgitative AI is a plagiaristic poison, to use any amount of it is to use it too much.
They want the concessions, because concessions can creep. Zero tolerance is the only way to say no to it.
