Zohran Mamdani’s Lesson for the Left The New York City mayoral primary showcased a better kind of politics than progressives are used to.

This is framed as "lessons for the left," but Lander and Mamdani actually offer lessons for the center: Instead of ruthlessly undermining leftist candidates, emphasize shared values and refuse to amplify right-wing attacks.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Don't forget to rinse out every jar and tin you finish, guys x

People With Severe Diabetes Are Cured in Small Trial of New Drug Most in a small group of patients receiving a stem cell-based infusion no longer needed insulin, but the drug may not suit those with more manageable type 1 diabetes.

A single infusion of a stem cell-based treatment may have cured 10 out of 12 people with the most severe form of type 1 diabetes. One year later, these 10 patients no longer need insulin. The other two patients need much lower doses.

Sotomayor’s Dissent Criticizes Supreme Court Decision in Transgender Care Case Justice Sotomayor also read her dissent from the bench, a move typically reserved to emphasize a justice’s extreme displeasure with a decision.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, one of the court’s three liberals, wrote a scathing dissent criticizing her conservative colleagues’ decision to uphold a state ban on some medical treatments for transgender youths.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

The FDA has approved a powerful HIV drug that nearly eliminated spread during clinical trials.

This should put Noem in handcuffs in California. You're announcing a plan to ignore the choices of voters and override state's rights and intend to illegally detain elected officials to do it.

I'm tired of having to coddle harry potter fans

if you have spent money on harry potter in the last five years, your money has contributed to the deaths of real trans people & the defense of their killers

that is a fact, don't celebrate a harry potter video game during pride month for fuck's sake

and elon musk has been saying a car will drive itself next year for a decade

I spent so many years covering propaganda anticipating this exact moment and so many of my peers bought the paid-for contrarian line that even covering disinformation was somehow, itself, censorship.

Now we're at the event horizon. Celebration is protest is riot is justification for a police state.

A stroke is one of the leading causes of death/disability in Canada. June is #StrokeAwarenessMonth and is a time to raise awareness about its causes and how to recognize the signs/symptoms. You can earn more and help save lives here: bit.ly/4kYZShg

BREAKING: ICE raid and community resistance in front of Home Depot in Paramount, California.

Tried to transplant lupines I stole from the ditch near my house and the ground is so damn dry I probably ripped off all their roots, poor things. Hoping they survive well enough that I can go steal some more 😅

Don't let these men and their pissing match distract from the fact Republicans are still trying to rip away healthcare and food from actual children.

I'd go with like "many of the pedophiles who flew with Trump on Jeffrey Epstein's planes are the same people who are also trying to cut health care for Americans. Part of the reason they want us poor is so we can't fight back when they rape our kids."

I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is.

The *only period* when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.

NYT headline: A.I. Is Getting More Powerful, but Its Hallucinations Are Getting Worse

AI is Getting Worse, but It's Getting Worse

Elon leaves with reputation in tatters As Musk's time in the White House comes to an end, let's be clear about his legacy.

"Musk is a greedy kleptocrat whose life’s work boils down to stealing from the poor to pad his own bottom line. That’s his legacy. He could’ve changed the world for the better; he had every resource available to him to do so. Instead, he made it markedly worse."

My partner has been eyeing it since it came out. So far hasn't taken the leap.

every few months a study is revealed in which people were given a small sum of money and their lives exponentially improved and then we all brush off our hands and say oh well! and learn nothing

During a debate titled "One Christian vs. Twenty Atheists," Jordan Peterson loses by forgetting what side he’s on

A website literally wouldn't let me use it when I said "reject all" unless I paid 🫠 insane. (I did not continue on to said website)

ChatGPT Is Everywhere — Why Aren't We Talking About Its Environmental Costs? One estimate found that a single ChatGPT search uses 10 times the energy of a normal Google search.

In this op-ed, politics editor Lex McMenamin explains why using AI to search "how to be sustainable" could be accomplishing the opposite.
