I loved this. And I want to note the whole “there were no autistic people before …” discourse has an answer here: just the people were sent away in the incarceration (yes “care homes” like this), and if they fled, they were just abandoned by society, usually to die.

It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs!

If you’d like to know what it was really like inside CECOT for an innocent man who was wrongfully deported by this administration, we interviewed a pro soccer player and youth coach named Jerce Reyes two weeks ago: youtu.be/vlz3eGwHZBY?...

Bari Weiss spikes a much-anticipated segment on CECOT because she thinks Trump won't like it. That apparently is the ultimate test.

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

#Baltimore! An adorable mom/kitten duo is looking for a home for the holidays: Pinky (mom, 18 mos.) & Piglet (kitten, 7 mos.) were dumped in an alley in SW Baltimore, along with two other kittens (already adopted). They are super bonded & love to cuddle. Only thing better than 1 cat is 2 cats! 😍

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Which is more likely, Eric? That Harvard suddenly became more moderate just when you arrived to teach a seminar, as you seem to claim, or that it was never the radical right-bashing bastion you believed it was because you were woefully misinformed?

The person who helped locate the Brown shooter is an immigrant. The person in Sydney who tackled one of the shooters is Muslim. Sometimes the people who are most willing to help others are from communities that know first-hand how much hatred threatens the values we need to live together.

some of the best early career scientists doing pandemic prevention work no one else is — defunded, just a couple years after tens of millions died from a pandemic.
I'm devastated by what the field has lost in terms of pandemic prevention research and infrastructure, but even more for the (to date, 60+) PhD students and postdocs on the project, many of whom face an immediate funding cliff at the end of the year. NSF had the funds for them and just didn't pay /3

Well, here’s how I spent my afternoon… scaling a fence to get in a vacant house’s jungle/dump of a yard to rescue this little guy, who’d yelling his head off for two days. His sibling is on the second floor of the house and mom gets in/out through a missing window. Think this guy fell out!
