Musk should just stop talking. Every time he brings up a new topic, such as rocketry, programming, or science fiction, he shows another group of people how uninformed he is. The things he says about the Culture series by Iain M. Banks make him sound really stupid to anyone else who has read them.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

I understand some of you don't have TikTok, but if you do, know that the explanation below is the best I've seen of what lay behind the Kirk assassination.

Robinson is an alt-right nihilist, but in a way that's hard for many to understand.

I think Aidan says what I want to say better than I could.
It was a shitpost. Check out Know Your Meme for more of the history on it, or john ganz, or my newsletter #kirk #owo

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family?

It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

The Sun keeps taking out Starlink satellites!

Look at the geographic distribution of re-entry of satellites.

Orange dots are Starlink. It's everywhere - one really needs to think twice about how this is messing with our atmosphere.

Non-ethical business model IMO.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.

Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

This is how you kill all new vaccine research without explicitly killing all new vaccine research.
Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.
