This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.

My buddy who's a HS Physics teacher said that one of his students asked him why it's called a hallucination when AI does it but it's a wrong answer on a test if a student does it and yeah

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Read the thread, written between fitful bursts of ineffectual anger at a delayed flight, then go back and listen to the podcast, which is an exceptionally well-made deep dive into an evergreen and fundamental area of constitutional law.

I reluctantly got one recently as it is, unfortunately, an easier way than cash to repay millennial/zoomer friends without getting weird looks, but as a budding consumer attorney I want to kill it with fire and mandate free interbank transfers like a civilized society
Venmo is low key one of the most insane products ever because if my bank ever publicized my wires I would immediately sue the fuck out of them but NCAA athletes are routinely posting public transfers with descriptions like “Covered the spread!”

Important details from this story:
1) Yet another news-break by student journalists (this time @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social) www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
2) Harvard saying "see you in court," not "let's make a deal."
3) Per Garber, WH/MAGA leaked news of a "deal." NYT then ran with it.
