Scientists Make Breakthrough in Solving the Mystery of Life’s Origin
For years, researchers have puzzled over how two ingredients for life first linked up on early Earth. Now, they’ve found the “missing link,” and demonstrated this reaction in the lab.

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

holy shit a guy who was born in Uganda listed himself as African American on an old college application this is certainly bigger news than the concentration camp in Florida
You know, when I heard that all of our personal data had been hacked, I didn't expect the first major use of it to be the NYT trying to fuck over Zohran but maybe I'm naive www.nytimes.com/2025/07/03/n...

Car crashes have killed or seriously injured roughly the same number of people as shootings in Chicago this year, but only one of these things is treated as a public safety crisis.

When Lyft or Uber asks you to contact elected officials to "keep rideshare affordable" remember that they profit from undermining public transit and increasing congestion. Use them where necessary, but don't let them use you.

a bit of a misleading title (Hilarious). I'm reminded of my own family: my mom's Irish parents came here a century ago, had four kids, three of whom started successful businesses.

so... is current generative AI the opposite of the Singularity? As in, producing middle-of-the-road, conventional content instead of revolutionary world changing stuff? Maximizing predictability instead of destroying it?

Just got word, a friend of mine just passed. Carl Harris, also known as Chopper Carl, who I knew through the Chicago bike community, was having health problems for a while. I hate that he's gone. Such a good guy.
I wrote about him almost exactly ten years ago today.

New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

the Constitution mentions 'citizens' three times, and they're all about offices. The president, representatives, and senators have to be citizens. The word person occurs 46 times, and people 7 times. That's not an accident.

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

Interesting. We already grow corn for energy. PV solar would be a lot more space efficient

New study compares growing corn for energy to solar production. It’s no contest.
In fact, it would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce the same amount of energy generated by one hectare of land covered in solar panels.

So NBA stars are gonna transition and take a pay cut so they can... what?
The Utah Jazz have become trans.
Tommy Tuberville: "We have entire men's teams across this country now that are tuning trans. Women's teams are turning trans. That's gonna be a situation where it's gonna pick up speed because these woke globalists are pushing these kids."
