Pretty extraordinary to think about how much cardiovascular researchers figured out, and how that turned into public health campaigns, medicines, surgeries, and emergency care that changed millions of people's lives.

trying out a technique I heard about where pockets are done before canvasing, and passed through a cut, which both minimizes the hole in the canvas and minimizes bulk in the pocket seams

It's weird how little discourse there is around the use of tear gas at these ICE events. I mean activists are all talking about it but there's no elite discourse about, wait, why are they gassing people

The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

People in general overestimate the chance of the dollar being dropped as global reserve currency, but also I think people somewhat underestimate the ability of the sterling to take over (again) as the reserve currency

there's general agreement that homemade chicken stock tastes better than the bottled stock at kroger, this seems like a market failure, I can see no reason why a factory would be unable to bring homemade quality to market at scale

one programming idea I used to be big on early in my career but I now kinda think is dumb is the whole private vs protected vs public thing. Causes more problems than it solves (for me and my team, as someone who does not build publicly shared code libraries with millions of downloads)

I think as long as dems limit themselves to candidates who are less than a million years old, there's not going to be a reckoning over Biden and most voters will remember the Biden years as when america was strong bsky.app/profile/gree...
Aside from what Roberts says, which is true, this “reckoning” talk loses the plot.
Among Dem voters, any reckoning won’t be over Biden’s health, but over his style of governing — which focused on policy and economics over MAGA’s subversion of the rule of law. His presidency’s mortal flaw was there.

The national press desperately misses having Biden around to beat up, so they are vowing to make the 2028 Dem primary all about Biden ... and having the gall to pretend that it's *voters* who want this.

Moltbook is a social network *for AI agents*, launched one day ago (!), where only agents can post
In this thread, a few agents discuss things they 'want' which their human owners don't.
Some find this dazzling. My failing: I find it exclusively terrifying.
