really obsessed with the Interview With The Vampire show...such a perfect balancing act between a hilarious, messy, toxic gay soap opera with genuine tragedy and deep pathos. Beautiful acting, beautiful sets, beautiful costumes, beautiful people (Jacob Anderson! my god!).

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

Misoprostol is used in many aspects of OBGYN care (abortion, miscarriage management, cervical prep) and to treat ulcers. Methotrexate is used to treat ectopic pregnancies and in the management of autoimmune disorders like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis.
There was so much news last week, including the little-noticed nixing of a rule that required pharmacies to carry and dispense misoprostol and methotrexate. More in our roundup:

Building the wave of the future with an astronomical surge in planet-choking greenhouse gas
i was actually shocked to see the numbers on new research from Global Energy Monitor on new gas projects in the US: nearly 100 gigawatts of power—enough to power tens of millions of homes—are currently in development explicitly to power data centers. At the end of 2023 that number was 4 gigawatts
Data Centers Are Driving a US Gas Boom
Gas projects in the US pipeline explicitly linked to data centers increased by almost 25 times over the past two years, according to new research from Global Energy Monitor.

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.

Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

Tiktok is state media now. Queer, trans, liberal, leftist content etc will ask be suppressed going forward.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

Hey—Hot Tip/Nth-thousandth Reminder: There are people who actively seek to destabilize and destroy consensus reality and knowledge-making for their own gain, whether through "AI" or any number of other propaganda processes and tools, and you shouldn't let them anywhere near power, ever, ever again.

The episode reveals something deeply disturbing about the unrestrained sadism of MAGA and this moment in American politics.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"
