There are so many stories I could tell. About why planes changed from four engines to two. Which is why I sport them. Everything about planes is analogous to computer security. Everything they learned about not killing people is perhaps the most important work that has ever been done.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

This is a BIG reason I wrote Burn It Down. I was v tired of doing One Bad Man stories & wanted to shout from the rooftops that every He's Just One Bad Man is NOT a one-off--each 1 is propped up by multiple interlocking systems of enabling, protection & even celebration. The SYSTEMS are def evergreen
Terrific book that unfortunately remains evergreen.
ANYWAY! My 2023 book -- about systemic, institutionalized, longstanding patterns of misconduct, abuse, predation, and the enabling and even the celebration of same by the powerful -- was titled Burn It Down 🔥🔥🔥🔥 just sayin' bookshop.org/p/books/burn...

🙋‍♂️ I was in *the safety trial* for (the original) Gardasil HPV vaccine for males. And I can assure you that I was like this before I got the shots. I can also confirm firsthand that vaccines are tested for safety more times and in more ways than most people will ever be able to comprehend.

Something a wise person once said to me: it doesn’t have to be forever.

You can make a choice now, because it’s what you need to do now, and then change it later, or find another way to manage things later. You can do that.

Few things are irredeemably permanent.

This is such an important shift. For many years the catholic church withheld support for HPV vaccination which prevents cervical cancer.
119,000 women die from this cancer in Africa every year.
This full throated support of the HPV vaxx by the church will help uptake.

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

If you didn’t know, there’s a race for governor in Jersey right now and Baraka is running. He jumped to the top of the ranks overnight.

Every Dem that stands up to Trump and becomes wildly popular is confirming what we’ve all been saying: voters don’t want Schumer-style leadership.
Did Baraka arrest just win him the N.J. Democratic primary for governor?
The Newark mayor's showdown with ICE has sent his profile soaring, even if it might alienate moderate voters.

Robert Francis Prevost, who was elected the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church today and took the name Pope Leo XIV, is the first pope from the United States.

A member of the Order of St. Augustine, he resembles the late Pope Francis in his commitment to the poor and migrants.

when cats eat crunchies, the "crunch" is not just the sound of a dry biscuit fracturing under pressure.

No. It is a declaration. A cat's loud reminder that he is still capable of victory. of conquest.

he bites, he remembers, and he is strong.

something has ended so that he may go on.
