She was so incredibly brave

It’s a pleading look there’s no defying

Kirby was denied a treat once. What happens when this insult occurs a second time?

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each.

Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture.

What a dark day for press freedom in the United States

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Let's be clear a what's happening here: the "censorship" and "bias" narrative is being extended to Wikipedia bc the far right knows that getting bullshit into LLMs is how to shape reality as "answer engines" replace search engines.

Wikipedia is core to that fight so the grievance blitz is here.

The Sora AI thing is proof of something very important: The technology itself is useless without the ability to use the likenesses of real, living, unpredictable people, and the art they create. And the only way to get those likenesses or that art is to summarily steal it.

Reading Rainbow Returns With New Host and Celebrity Guest Stars Reading Rainbow is back after almost 20 years! The beloved children's TV program — which ran for 26 years before wrapping in 2006 — is celebrated for fostering childhood reading and literacy.

OMG! Mychal did it. Anyone who first caught this wonderful human gaining an audience on TikTok knew there was something special happening. What an incredible journey and story. Promoting reading and libraries is so damn important right now, and I can't think of a better ambassador.

🔥 RICHARD MASSEY: “No one here in MEMPHIS asked for military occupation… this is not a war on crime, it’s a war on the working class… we know better than to sign off on our city becoming a blueprint for authoritarianism.”

Imagine living in a country as diverse as this one and hating it. Weird stuff.

More workers were abducted today than pretty much any other single day over the course of the months-long federal occupation of Los Angeles.

We are still under siege. There is no other choice but to organize and fight back. Look out for one another and defend your neighbors!

I am glad that Kimmel is back on the air but I am also unspeakably annoyed that a late night talk show has become a kind of Lexington and Concord moment of our time

even for an unhinged presidency this week has been pretty fuckin unhinged tbh

this archetype remains undefeated

Do any of the professors or journalists or teachers also get their jobs back or nah

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Simon Maechling & @simonmaechling Follow RFK Jr is set to announce Tylenol causes autism. And then he'll push the "cure": leucovorin (folinic acid). Who sells folinic acid? Dr. Oz's supplement company, iHerb. The same Dr. Oz who is now the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in Trump's administration. Think about that: A government health official tied to the very supplement company that benefits from RFK Jr's bogus "cure." This isn't public health. It's corruption dressed up as wellness.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Suzy Welch says Gen Z and millennials are burnt out because older generations worked just as hard, but they ‘had hope’ "We believed that if you worked hard, you were rewarded for it," Welch said. "This is the disconnect."

Suzy Welch points out Gen Z feels burnt out and hopeless over the future. Her husband Jack Welch, who ruthlessly destroyed GE for quick profit, becoming an icon of "greed is good" corporate mass destruction, had a lot to do with that. This woman is shameless.

This story is not getting the attention it deserves in fact it should be so shocking that it took over the CK story at this point.

However, you would be hard pressed to find more than a couple people who even know what happened

Deputy AG Todd Blanche says ‘organized’ Trump protesters could be investigated Blanche spoke as DOJ sought to walk back Attorney General Pam Bondi’s comments about "hate speech," which landed her in hot water with conservatives.

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI?

Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

A terrible, cryptid-style photo of del Toro walking past.

I couldn't get tickets to the world premiere of Frankenstein in Imax. They sold out in milliseconds.

My only choice was to get there 40 minutes early and wait in the standby line.

Guillermo del Toro walked by, saw me waiting, and had his team give me one of his personal guest tickets.

I had some thoughts about people saying that "debate me bro" trolling is somehow the height of democratic discourse.

Just going to remind you that if the police or any other law enforcement show up you should ABSOLUTELY say

I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT

i.e., then say nothing else except repeatedly demanding a lawyer.

Practical Magic is great, I’m just salty about the sequel

I’m so mad Evan Rachel Wood is still be denied parts
