8. I would be remiss if I did not mention that the Epstein files shows the extent to which old political alliances are compromised. It’s depraved. It is also unfortunately capitalism. Tech elite has the money to shape public opinion and intervene in state law because of that cabal of exploitation.

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

This, actually works. For me at least.

Gun restrictions work. This horrendous act could have been even worse.

Why do British people sing in American accents? @akilahhughes.com and @hankgreen.bsky.social cover it in the latest episode of Ask Hank Anything out now at YouTube.com/complexly

● Stimulants: According to best trial data available, these widely used ADHD drugs cause longterm height loss averaging an inch;443 of note, the only long-term trial found exclusively shortterm (14-month) behavior benefits, which were not found at 3 years.444 Indeed, at 3, 5, 8, and 14 years, no benefits were seen in grades, relationships, achievement, behavior, or any other measure.

I'm going to have to check and double check my work here but at first glance it seems this line in the "MAHA" report is horrible misrepresentation of the study it cites (seen here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17667478/).

YouTube video by Mike Caulfield Demoing SIFT Toolbox: First Pass

Gotta get my screencasting chops back, I'm rusty. But I believe in this toolbox too much to wait to get it perfect, so here is a first pass at a demo of my LLM "mega" prompt *SIFT Toolbox*, which turns your LLM from a chatbot into something more like a research assistant youtu.be/dTzukP7OLuA

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress:

"They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

This is a great resource for folks looking to protect themselves and their communities.

Share with lgbtq+ folks in your networks, please.

2 U.S. Code § 136-1 - Appointment and term of service of Librarian of Congress

I hope she fights it. There's no authority in law for the president to fire the Librarian mid-term, even if the president appoints this member of the legislative branch.

“IF YOU DONT USE AI YOU WILL FALL BEHIND!!”

Dear god how far back can I fall?? We talking Black Michael Jackson or white Michael Jackson??? Do I need the actual Delorean or will the AI spin up the flux compacitor in my laptop?

Yesterday 8:56 PM Why do I have to put a hold for an ebook Today 8:03 AM Because libraries pay for each time a patron checks one out. Libraries don't actually own ebooks. They pay for each time an ebook is used. So libraries have to limit how many patrons can borrow an ebook at any given time. Delivered

well, i finally had to have the talk with my son. 📚

Most Americans use federal science information on a weekly basis, a new poll finds Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip Trump has effectively given Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit, Israeli officials say.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride.

If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

A white man, 50, 60, 70 yrs old, doesn't need 37 billion dollars. They could be very happy with 2, 3, 4 billion.

the thing about the tates and trump and musk is that what they offer is the illusion of control and dominance and mastery. in truth, they are absolute slaves to their passions and their worst instincts, and they have paid for it in that they are literal degenerates

White House comes out with sharp spending cuts in Trump's 2026 budget plan President Donald Trump’s 2026 budget plan would slash nondefense domestic spending by $163 billion, while increasing expenditures on national security.

⚠️ The White House budget proposal would fully eliminate IMLS—the only federal agency for library services—in FY2026. This would gut access to information and opportunity, especially in rural areas.
We can’t let this stand.

What an embarrassment. It’s wild that the official position of the US Government is now pro-Nazi.

Left unchecked, this man has the potential to be an accessory to and root cause of your child's unnecessary death. He's worse than the worst drunk driver ever.

John Fetterman’s Struggle The senator insists he is in good health. But staffers past and present say they no longer recognize the man they once knew.

‘Fetterman went on to make statements that shocked people. In opposing a cease-fire, he said, “Let’s get back to killing.” A person who heard the conversation told me, “He said, ‘Kill them all.’”’

This statistic blew my mind

All these bros conveniently forgetting that the U.S. government was instrumental in creating the Internet through NSF grants to universities and research hubs through the 80s and 90s.

Kennedy is among the most malevolent figures in all of American history.
