What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.

To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

We are a government ruled by viral video fiat now.

You aren't even allowed to research which viral video has whipped the regime into a mania and how they came to believe it, because the research of the systems themselves is viewed as "censorship."

This how you end up randomly invading Portland.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Today, in a move that has alarmed conservationists, the Department of the Interior unveiled a proposal to rescind the Bureau of Land Management’s Public Lands Ruleβ€”effectively removing conservation as an equal priority in public-land management.

A sobering eulogy for the magnificent old-growth Teakettle forest that just burned in the s Sierra, and how USFS leadership repeatedly failed to support the mgmt actions that likely would have saved it from severe fire effects.

Pointless self-harm to humanity is the common thread here.

Goes for health and vaccine the same way as it goes for climate, US competitiveness, and any number of issues.

A Pregnant Texas Teen Died Under Texas’ Fetal Heartbeat Law It took three ER visits before a hospital admitted pregnant teen Nevaeh Crain, one of at least two Texas women to die under the state’s abortion ban.

On Nevaeh Crain’s third hospital visit, an obstetrician insisted on two ultrasounds to β€œconfirm fetal demise.” By then, her blood pressure had plummeted and a nurse noted that her lips were β€œblue and dusky.” Her organs began failing. Hours later, she was dead.

Map reveals how America's forests have changed over time Trump signed a new executive order this month to decrease reliance on foreign lumber. The order could result in the felling of millions of trees in the U.S.

Before European settlement in the early 1600s, forests covered an estimated 1.023 billion acres of what is now the United States
Now Trump plans to log over 56 million acres of forest including thousand year old Trees in Tongass national forest in Alaska

I’m well and truly tired of Jay Bhattacharya talking about the lack of trust in public health. He and his cronies seeded, watered, and fertilized distrust during the pandemic, so they shouldn’t be surprised that it flowered.

The man has no training, education, or experience in public health.

NMSOP isn’t a dark money group. It’s the one group in New Mexico telling the truth about corporate healthcare.

They filed every required disclosure. They operate in the open. And they exist to protect youβ€”not hospital execs, not insurers, not private equity.
