MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There. A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

The Rise and Unraveling of America’s Science Pact The system of federally funded research gave the U.S. wealth, power, and prestige. Its future is now uncertain.

A traumatic moment for the American scientific community.

I try to resist speculation, but I don’t see how global technological developments can be addressed effectively without multilateral organizations framed under terms recognized in international law and more or less respected in practice.

My quick response: consent to research may be a human rights outlier in authoritarian regimes. But will a different international system be able to sustain unity regarding the ethics of emerging technologies?

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.

Make it go viral but make sure she benefits.

How Peter Buxtun Exposed the Notorious Tuskegee Syphilis Scandal For years, he tried to expose the Tuskegee syphilis study – but no one would listen.

It's gratifying to see the New York Times pay tribute to Peter Buxtun, who blew the whistle on the Tuskegee syphilis study. He was a remarkable man.
