Oh no!!
"Trump cutting US aid has killed more Christian Nigerians than anyone else ever could."
This is a powerful truth that I haven't seen elsewhere.

Slightly diminish a book
The Relatively Manageable Lightness of Being
An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.
2026 schedule is out. Sox open in Cincinnati. Home opener against San Diego. Tigers in for Patriots Day. Rafael Devers returns in August.
I will always hold the #AtlantaChamberPlayers in my heart. The 4 years I spent as their Executive Director were fun and fulfilling! Happy 50th ACP! www.artsatl.org/a-milestone-...

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."
This isn’t a bill, it’s a declaration of war
I can confirm that Rafael Devers has been traded to the Giants.
They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.
Red Sox are debuting their new "Fenway Greens" uniform tonight. Details:

@jtkantor.bsky.social Hi Josh! Am here today! If you haven't already, can you play 'Bad, Bad Leroy Brown'? 👋⚾️
On his 100th day in office in 2017 Trump headed to a PA wheelbarrow factory to launch his trade policy and put the US on the path to today’s tariffs.
Eight years on that factory is closed. The wheelbarrows are now made in China.

This is a really, really well-written column. I wish we lived in a country where people who know how to write like this still wielded some degree of influence, but I enjoyed reading it, regardless.
"Diversity is discrimination" is literally Orwellian language, like "war is peace, hate is love, slavery is freedom."

Not Antisemitism (according to MAGA):
- Firebombing a Jewish governor‘s house during Passover
- Doing a Sieg Hitler salute

Antisemitism (according to MAGA):
- Saying Israelis and Palestinians deserve rights and dignity
- Using freedom of speech on campus
none of Jack or Elon's companies would exist without IP law. Neither of them are offering to give up their patents, trademarks, or other IP. They just hate artists.

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.
Looks like the House of the Seven Gables!!
THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️
Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.
