Bernie and AOC, Put Your Platform on the Ballot Bernie and AOC have a national platform, an energized base, and the infrastructure to gather small donations. Now they need winnable policies to back. It seems impossible in the MAGA-controlled govern...

I'm shocked this isn't done more. Makes total sense that populist policies can go further than populist politicians, given the state of politics in the US.

How to Win at Real Life We can learn things from games that can make us better at life.

If you play board games, roleplaying games, etc... This is a fascinating discussion. Too many great bits to even justify with quotes.

The bird flu outlook has only gotten worse It’s clear there’s no reason for optimism that H5N1 will fade away as a minor nuisance. To the contrary, the situation has only been trending worse.

Nothing is certain, yet, but I'd say if we _don't_ get a human flu pandemic out of this we'll have gotten really lucky.

Declassified CIA Guide to Sabotaging Fascism Is Suddenly Viral The World War II-era "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.

AI haters build tarpits to trap and trick AI scrapers that ignore robots.txt Attackers explain how an anti-spam defense became an AI weapon.

This seems fun. And fair enough, it only affects crawlers that violate warnings.

What Happened When America Emptied Its Youth Prisons Lessons from a radical 20-year experiment and a quiet triumph of public policy.

Solid evidence against the practice of imprisonment. Specifically for youth, but in all likelihood something that should be more broadly applied.

You’re Being Alienated From Your Own Attention Every single aspect of human life is being reoriented around the pursuit of attention.

Interesting perspective.
