“it is illegal for you not to like me”
This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.

A good reminder that when you purchase an ebook or movie, you're usually just purchasing the license to have it in your library. You do not own it. The provider can alter or remove it at any time. If physical is available, buy that. If not, well, enjoy it while you can.

The work that scholars and researchers actually do is the work that people *think* AI is doing. You read all sorts of things. You make connections. You notice where the holes are — what *hasn’t* been observed, questioned, investigated. You synthesize it into something that has never existed before.

Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

I'm seeing varied takes on this, and I just want to say as someone who used to work as a labor archivist, looking at the history of unions and labor laws:
Your job does not love you. Your job does not care for your well being. It is good to have a life outside of your job. Say no to time theft.

NOT GOOD 🫠
‘the air traffic controller noted not seeing the military aircraft on their end, as it had the transponder off and was not transmitting its location.
“We almost had a midair collision up here,” the pilot said, according to ATC recordings. "They passed directly in our flight path ..."’

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.
