DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research?

RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research

D: I just read them to you!

R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

Yet another thing I don't understand is how using LLMs on student work isn't a FERPA violation

Venus Williams just won her first match in two years and at the end when they were interviewing her about what a miracle it was, she said she had to come back and play a match; they told her she was on cobra and she’s always at the doctor so **she needs the health insurance**

"Roseanna Roseannadanna haircut" describes it PERFECTLY.

Any contention otherwise denigrates the work of disabled Americans who spent months lobbying against Medicaid cuts on the Hill, protesting, getting arrested, etc

Caricature of Mayr by David Levine for the New York Review of Books.

Ernst Mayr was born OTD in 1904.

“Most scientific problems are far better understood by studying their history than their logic.”

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.

Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

Today I start a new position as Director of Publications at @historians.org.

Christ, I just went down this rabbit hole and there is a LOT

If you are a journo covering the GOP budget and want to talk to people with medically complex kids who count on Medicaid to stay alive and in their communities, I have a trenchcoat of sources for you from all over the country, just drop me a line!
