What a world

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

A submersible perhaps

I can actually have my kid make this tonight

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Indeed it is. I'm so sorry. I am two years out from surgery on my EGFR+ lung cancer. One more year to go (so far) on Tagrisso.

Too many cancers have a large stigma around them and it keeps people from getting care. It also creates a false idea that we can somehow insulate ourselves from death and disease through individual choices and that is bullshit. Thanks for your time.

If you get in my mentions with "do this and you won't get cancer," I will correct you. Carcinogenesis is multifactorial. Many different things can lead to cancer and it is not a straight line. People with cancer do not need your narrow assumptions about what did or did not cause their disease.

Hi! so, actually, cancer tends to be pretty multifactorial. processed foods certainly play a likely role. The research is ongoing. But we have to be really careful when we talk about causes of cancer because that can be a short road to victim-blaming!

Never Slack what you don't want read aloud in court.

lol carl

Do not delay going to an NCI designated center of excellence because of money. They will work with you.

It is worth it because they know more than many local/regional docs and hospitals AND they have exposure to cutting edge research AND they usually have the kind of financial infrastructure in place to help figure out the insurance and payment part.

NCI-Designated Cancer Centers NCI-Designated Cancer Centers are at the forefront of NCI-supported cancer research efforts at universities and cancer research centers across the United States.

If you get diagnosed with cancer. Or something someone thinks is cancer, get thyself to a NCI designated center of excellence. You can find them here. www.cancer.gov/research/inf...

amazing piece today. I had to take breaks for ... reasons.

ask me how I know!

Colon cancer now leading cause of cancer deaths under 50 in US Experts warn younger people not to dismiss symptoms such as rectal bleeding as diagnoses rise for those under 50

Cancer in people under 50 is a massive, massive problem. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I Ignored the Signs. I Was Only 42. When I Saw the Look on My Doctor’s Face, I Knew What Was Coming—or So I Thought. I've driven myself crazy by thinking through counterfactuals. All I'm left with is what really happened.

well that is fuckin harrowing slate.com/life/2026/03...

subscribed. and I have called the DOT SO many times about this intersection lol.

that one is (almost) opposite my building and I think it's an air rights issue. St. John's is the historic district line.

outstanding reporting

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

Man you’re going to drive me into local politics

Yeah but literally surrounded by empty storefronts. It’s so grim! Also how did the Christian scientists hang on to TWO separate properties?

A) this is great
B) how do I also get the Atlantic to give me ten grand?

Someone who really wants to talk about economics with you for the whole flight
