I live in Tucson less than 2 blocks from the high school where Bernie and AOC will be speaking in a few minutes. I walked there about an hour ago and walked the entire line - about 1.3 miles long. I heard that it got longer after that.

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism".

Daylight saving time: an American Academy of Sleep Medicine position statement | Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine The last several years have seen intense debate about the issue of transitioning between standard and daylight saving time. In the United States, the annual advance to daylight saving time in spring, ...

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends abolition of Daylight Saving Time and changing to year-round STANDARD time. For health reasons, standard time year-round is preferable to DST year-round. (I love that here in Arizona we don't use DST.). jcsm.aasm.org/doi/10.5664/...

Somebody is making a ton of money from all of the stock market turbulence. You don't suppose it could be anyone with inside info, do you? I guess we'll never know, with cuts to the SEC and DOJ.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.

4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

All this in New Orleans... What a moment

Interesting discussion. Thank you!

Has anyone written about the psychological/sociological context for this? I'm really fascinated by it

They think that Trump is stopping child molestation, and maybe even in the whole Pizzagate thing, while also believing that we are all one in goddess' eyes and Sufi dancing and a juice fast will heal all ills of body and spirit.

There's this weird and troubling group of people who somehow complete the strange circle of politics from the far left to the far right ....

The 2024 Good Tech Awards (Gift Article) In a year of continued A.I. progress, “founder mode” drama and a Trump election win, a few tech projects stood out for their clear benefits to humanity.

I found this article really interesting. His awards are pretty heavy on the AI frontier, but I think that's where most tech innovation is happening right now.

This is pretty funny.
