This is my favorite piece on the Zero Units, the Afghan locals who actually fought the war under the direction of the CIA.
The Evacuation of the CIA’s Afghan Proxies Has Opened One of the War’s Blackest Boxes
Afghan Zero Units hold clues to many of the war’s mysteries, including how the CIA engineered deadly night raids that contributed to the Taliban’s victory.

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

If it is between you and the Earth, get the best version of whatever it is that you can afford
Shoes, mattress, pillow, tires.
You will not realize this advice is important until it is too late, and you will regret every day before you understood it.

Even if HPV only caused cancer in people with cervixes, it would be essential to vaccinate people without cervixes because they can carry and spread the virus. You don't control infectious diseases by only vaccinating the people who might die, you control them by vaccinating everyone.

what I think is throwing people off from this understanding is that psychotherapy was an elite, urban, professional, emigré and also Jewish-coded phenomenon for so long in the US, but today it's, I dunno, some self-diagnosed wook on TikTok.

Incarcerated people in the U.S. are 6x more likely to contract a foodborne illness than the general population.
Everyone deserves access to safe and nutritious food, both this holiday season and all year round.

Thanksgiving Day is framed as a time to connect with family, yet the roots of the holiday come from the massacres of Indigenous people in the U.S.
A few years back, Wanbli Máyašleča (Francis Yellow), an artist, healer, teacher, and Native American elder shared his perspectives on Thanksgiving.

A lot to admire about the wild turkey: “Despite their weight, wild turkeys, unlike their domesticated counterparts, are agile, fast fliers [and] have many calls: assembly call, gobble, plain yelp, purr, cluck and purr, cluck, cutt, excited yelp, fly-down cackle, tree call, kee kee run, and putt.”
