ah but you see sam, if the kids get liver cancer that just means they were meant to get it and Nature is doing its job
This regressive move will literally kill people. It's making kids' liver cancer great again. And it's a sign of more harm to come.

This is what the Butterball Turkey hotline is for. Also, find people you don't have to be perfect around. Werewolf and Jack-In-The-Box are good party games. Ask people what superpower they would want, or a hobby they want to try in the new year.
This is so soulless, I can't stand it. We have BRAINS. We can USE THEM.

it is frankly a *scathing* indictment of the White House press corps
I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

Did you know? Black women have a 4% lower incidence rate of breast cancer than white women — but a 40% higher death rate. We need your voice to help us understand why — and how to close the gap. Take our short survey: wordinblack.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

It’s wild how casually we say “42 million people are on SNAP” like that’s just a normal statistic.
That’s 12% of the entire country—in the richest nation on earth—relying on government help just to eat.
That shouldn’t be a data point we shrug off.
That’s a national emergency.

This looks like a concentration camp.
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

Bari Weiss won the culture war, and we are all worse off for it. Well, not all of us. Her friends and family are doing great!
So Suzy Weiss, the sister of new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, was on CBS Mornings today to talk about The Free Press story on lab-grown diamonds.
"The shamelessness of getting her sister on set by week two is just, wow," one senior CBS News staffer told me.

Saying "a brown liquid that resembles feces" because they can't actually fact-check the video is hysterical, but also underscores how so many of the institutional norms and guard-rails of the old era of US politics are no longer fit for purpose.

Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.

One of the main vectors of modern anti-vax is a Google cofounder’s ex wife using the fortune she got divorce to promote people like RFK Jr.
billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society
also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.
