In the 2000s, just ten percent of Americans believed the government was doing a poor job on economic policy. Today, that's 64%, higher than at any point in our history, beating the oil shocks, wage and price controls, the great inflation, any major recession, financial crisis or pandemic.

OpenAI faces 7 lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide, delusions OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide and harmful delusions even when they had no prior mental health issues.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us theyโ€™re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdaniโ€™s supposedly radical policies as โ€˜normalโ€™ Critics of New York Cityโ€™s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe itโ€™s a given

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

Wait, what? A RAT caught and ate a BAT? And there's video! What does it portend? Scientists filmed bats to see how they communicate while swarming. They found a surprise: In urban settings, rats attack bats. What are the implications for bats ... and virus spread to humans?

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Rosalind Franklin and the damage of gender harassment Spurred by a recent report on sexual harassment in academia, our columnist revisits a historical case and reflects on what has changedโ€”and what hasnโ€™t

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary โ€œRovinaโ€™s Choiceโ€ tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Atul Gawande: USAID helped countries shift care from hospitals to nearer home. Health workers with a scale & tape measure detect bad cases earlier. A peanut-paste therapy reversed starvation. Deaths fell from 20% to as little as 1%. It saved 1.2M lives in 2023. But now the gains are being reversed.

Iโ€™ve been interested in political speeches for as long as I can remember. Iโ€™ve listened to nearly every inaugural and major address, and Iโ€™ve given tons of public speeches myself.

Zohranโ€™s talent in this arena ranks among the best. Heโ€™s damn good. Hella good. Remarkably good.
