Just published by my physician mentee near the front lines in Ukraine. Extraordinary.

The Benign Zombies of Pluribus : The Hastings Center for Bioethics Whatever disagreements neuroethicists have, they all presuppose the annoying multiplicity of brains that somehow generate minds. Not so in Vince

The season finale is this Friday. Time to brush up on your neuroethics.

But not for abject cruelty, it seems.

This is chilling.

Feds Tell Faith Leaders 'No More Prayer' Outside Broadview Facility In a possible violation of the First Amendment, federal officials instructed demonstrators to stop holding religious gatherings outside the immigration processing facility in suburban Broadview after ...

“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent Sean Dunn faced single misdemeanor offense after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by prosecutors.

A not guilty verdict, accompanied by many sandwich jokes. “Jurors showed no appetite for the Justice Department's case against "sandwich guy," the D.C. resident who chucked a Subway sandwich at the chest of a federal officer, finding him not guilty on Thursday after several hours of deliberations.”

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Confronting the Ongoing Onslaught Trump's East Wing demolition, demands for $230 million and the ongoing murders in the Caribbean Sea are the latest reminders that we must remain vigilant and push back

“Some days are a crystalized scream. They tell us in no uncertain terms that we have been taken hostage by a malignant force that rejects not only our laws and values, but our history and memories.”

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

Awaiting law enforcement.

Great podcast conversation about my book Impromptu Man with host Jon Katz and his other guest Chris Flohr.

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.

From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

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.

Psychology in America, a History The fragile alliance between government and science.

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?

Thanks Phil for helping make this book possible.

Thank you Kelly.
