The gutting of the media industry and harrowing realities facing journalists in Gaza have made it hard for @pacinthe.bsky.social to feel hopeful. In the student press, she's found a model for how to cover this moment with persistence, courage, and accountability. thewalrus.ca/when-it-matters-...

A theory about vibes:
Human beings are deeply social creatures. Our need for a legible social order is rooted almost as deeply in our brainstem as our need for basic physical security. We need -- not want, need -- to understand who's in charge, who are allies, who are enemies, *how things work*.

seared my brain on this 6,500 word piece to write you a semi coherent thread into the mind of a billionaire obsessed with the antichrist (and people who, in my opinion, have way too much money, paranoia, and time while others just want to put food on the table)
Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Carl Schmitt, the German legal theorist tapped by the Nazi's to justify Germany's slip from democracy to dictatorship.
Those theories have been a roadmap for the billionaire
ever since.

For the first time, researchers succeeded in implanting Crispr-edited pancreatic cells in a man with type 1 diabetes. In this experiment, edited cells produced insulin for months after being implanted, without the need for the recipient to take any immunosuppressive drugs.

You almost never see/hear/read a person-on-the-street quote in which that person is saying "Yeah, immigrants are great." If it hates it rates just like if it bleeds it leads, and we get a disproportionate number of right-wingers sharing their hate and disinformation about immigration from msm.
