For the first time since 1988, the U.S. is not officially commemorating World AIDS Day
Noting the decision not to mark the day, the State Department stated: "An awareness day is not a strategy." Activists in the fight to end the ongoing AIDS epidemic disagree.

At the TIME100 AI celebration last night, Natasha Lyonne stood in front of the emperors of AI and challenged them to their face. Doing that takes guts. And I’m incredibly honored that she cited my work as well.
Thank you for speaking truth to power, Natasha. 🙏

I realize the world is burning, but here is the abstract of a talk I will give multiple times in different formats this month. With the feedback, I hope to write up something substantial on the theme in the remainder of the year.

A brilliant article by @rmcelreath.bsky.social . I had not heard of ‘bread scientists’ before but see them everywhere. Related to the strong case for teaching reliable, rigorous methods, I see as a major problem the selection of “optimistic” stat methods. #StatsSky #EpiSky
How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...
Which Kind of Science Reform
What hope is there for science reform, if we can't agree on what to reform? Right now, principles are more important than practices.

If this is true, this extremely expensive and seemingly unprincipled immigration bill needs much more attention from our politicians and the public newrepublic.com/maz/article/...
For many weeks now, Senate Democrats have been trying to home in on the right message against the Republicans’ preposterously titled Big Beautiful Bill. While the budget bill narrowly cleared the House after some false starts, its deficit-busting characteristics have thus far kept it from the unified GOP support it needs to clear the Senate. Yet the Democrats similarly are not united on the best strategy to turn the bill into a political loser among voters: The bill is a tax break for the rich. It will kick millions of people off Medicaid and food stamps. It will explode the federal deficit.

RIck Steves is the BEST.
Rick Steves finishing his speech in Edmonds. This is about halfway back in the crowd and to the side. The patriotism of this crowd was something else. And Steves' point is right -- change is going to come from an engaged center that stands in *solidarity* with the most vulnerable.
