The last 3 years have been the hottest in 125,000 years.

CO2 levels are their highest in about 12 MILLION years.

Scientists predict 4C+ this century & BILLIONS of deaths.

Not interested in this? Then you should consider a career in centrist politics & the mainstream media.

Trump has done more to establish a unitary executive than all the judges or legal scholars in the world could ever do.

And Trump has done more to discredit and expose the unitary executive theory as lawless authoritarianism than any judge or legal scholar could ever do.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Allogeneic cetuximab-armed gamma delta T cells using antibody-cell conjugation technology for the treatment of EGFR-expressing solid tumors Background Targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has become a strategic approach in cancer therapy, using various modalities including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-αβT cell therapies. D...

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

We’re quite deep within the Singularity right now, though it’s turned out be the Singularity of Stupid (SoS), which effectively prevents the original concept of the Singularity from happening.

Screenshot of a headline from Jacobin magazine. It reads: "Zohran Mamdani: “New York City Is Not for Sale by Zohran Mamdani At a Brooklyn town hall with Bernie Sanders on Saturday, Zohran Mamdani recounted how Bernie “gave me the language of democratic socialism to describe my politics” and called on supporters to keep organizing after Election Day. We reproduce his speech here."

Screenshot of a NYTimes headline that reads: "Wealthy New York Developers Hold Meeting to Plot Mamdani’s Defeat Some of New York’s biggest business leaders convened on Tuesday morning for an urgent gathering to support former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, saying the “time to act is now.” There's a photo of Andrew Cuomo and another man entering a building.

BREAKING: A new experiment in Philly shows cash rental assistance slashed homelessness rates by 57–67%.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

on the one hand I agree with this piece in principle. on the other hand as soon as people get sentimentally attached to punctuation (see: people who make a big deal about liking the Oxford comma) I feel obligated to find ways around it. This is an immature response which I will never, ever abandon

CPSC has fallen

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

Worth remembering: The Constitution explicitly gives the power to set tariffs to Congress. They could stop this nonsense by the end of the day.

I like Lander more now than before. Hard to pull that off while losing. Ranked choice works.

After the Tree of Life massacre we went to shul and as we lined up to go through the metal detectors a huge crowd of Muslim folks stood outside with signs chanting their love and support for us. It was one of the most moving things I’ve ever seen and it’s a testament both these NYC communities.

This decision is bad enough on the merits. But it also gives the government relief in a case in which it defied the district court at least *twice.* That’s quite a message to send to the government with respect to the costs of its litigation behavior in other cases—or the complete lack thereof.

Aside: people who use chatgpt to write code are generally semiliterate, so I don't expect them to get that reference.

Or, be able to actually read it.

I'm generally pro-civility.

It's just that I realize "we'll take your rights or murder you" and "we'll verbally criticize you with harsh language" are not equal threats to civility—especially not when the latter responds to the former—so falsely equating them harms, rather than improves, civility.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

The one laudable thing George W. Bush did during his monstrous tour of awful was AIDS drugs to Africa. It's his one redeeming legacy, and as his project gets destroyed, he remains silent.

I think about that when people do a revisionist history of how he wasn't so bad, comparatively.

I'd think divesting from companies run by guys who give Nazi salutes should be the first thing you do to ensure your members' dignity.

This is very much like the audience for Playboy magazine in the late 1960s, and for intriguingly resonant reasons.
