What is not in this story but should be is that the opioid overdose crisis has led to a massive increase in the incarceration of women specifically. The children are taken from the parent, but no mention of the parent (usually a woman) who goes to jail.

The pain of drug addiction continues to course through towns like Clarksburg, W.Va., where many babies are born withdrawing and have to be taken from their parents.

Working on my final massive free piece for the end of the year and every sign is suggesting that the people responsible for making sure investments are either entirely ignorant or have trained themselves to be a specific kind of stupid. I am deeply worried.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.

I absolutely love the argument that this is somehow due to European warmongering. When the Cold War was over, Europeans couldn't wait to destroy their militaries and if it weren't for Russian aggression, the entire EU put together would probably make like 7 tanks a year

Remember, kids, using people's preferred pronouns is "Marxism." Centralized control of the economy that leaves people increasingly dependent on cronyist government largesse is, apparently, good ol' free-market conservatism.

one of my primary complaints, that there are people saying they want respect but what they really want is deference despite being shitty to everyone around them
They're mad about not personally receiving the respect (deference) they think they are owed
Which they don't get, because they're assholes

I think it was Eliot Higgins who had a great thread on Twitter a few years back, just listing the evolution of these groups going back a hundred or so years, and how the names changed but the conspiracies and racism remained the same.
It's amazing how many of today's conspiracy theories trace back to the Wilson administration. Isolationists hate Wilson because of Fourteen Points and the League of Nations. They also hate him for the progressive income tax and the Federal Reserve.

This is huge. Dengue is terrifying, especially the hemorrhaging type.
Brazil approves the first vaccine against dengue. The disease killed 6000 Brazilians in 2024.
This is a really remarkable achievement. I got dengue in 2015, and even with the mild case I had, it was a really miserable experience.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail
