WaPo says that Warsh “promised independence” and “demonstrated seriousness” during his hearing. When asked who won the 2020 election, he basically hid under the table. Promises of independence from someone so cowed and cowardly are less than meaningless.

Hey 🧪 these people make fantastic stuff! And they could make it about your stuff! But only if they know about your stuff!

Let's call this policy what this is.

It's socialism. It's Leftism. And it's curing actual ills. Righting institutional wrongs.

It's not coming from someone who is infallible, or someone who is always correct.

It's coming from someone who promised to help and is trying to keep those promises.

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.

We’re looking for researchers in any discipline of natural history: if you have a paper coming out and you want to pitch @pbseons.bsky.social on a potential episode about it, send me a DM! #scicomm #paleosky #FossilFriday

Years ago I decided that taking one day off after travel to recover, do laundry, etc, was an overall gain in work efficiency for the week following a trip. I highly recommend this strategy! Also I am terrible at actually implementing it and I may need to file a formal complaint against myself.

It is texts like this that are the underlying reason I signed up for competitive karaoke:

Do we want the inflatable octopus for the Strait of Hormuz? I’m happy to bring it if we’re still considering it but happy to leave it home if we know we’re not using it.

(Ftr: no, song is too short.)

I can be MAD, not sure about SANE 😂🤣😂

You know what? Good point, I can at least wear something cute… (it also won’t offset but at this point ANYTHING helps… 😭)

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of my actions…

(I have to go to work. Again. Because I wanted a career. What an idiot.)

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

U.S. Depression Rate Remains Elevated The percentage of U.S. adults who report currently having or being treated for depression is 19.1%, among the highest measures in Gallup's trend.

GOOD HEAVENS!

It's as if working one's ass off to *not* be able to afford basic needs while watching our freedoms whither away as they are consolidated to an uber-wealthy oligarchy and people die of preventable disease while AI takes jobs is depressing!

on the one hand, this essay has a cursed genealogy (look at the "thanks" line); on the other hand, it is the most accurate essay about time management cultures every

Just a few paragraphs in, and this is already excellent:

"I tried to get out of the conversation as quickly as I could, not least because he seemed frustrated that I didn’t see things exactly as he did — a new behavior and likely a symptom of LLM overuse."

🧵 The MAGA Congress that voted for a trillion dollars in Medicaid cuts will never be catheterized by a new grad on a float pool. They will receive VIP care for the rest of their lives while voting to make ours worse. This piece traces the full chain from DC to the bedside.

I don't think anyone would run this in another outlet, but if you're an editor and want it, please reach out.

Fingers-crossed!! And maybe your therapist can read up and/or do some professional development in the area!!!

The mets are owned by a billionaire oligarch who wants to build a casino in their parking lot in opposition of the community.

Maybe don't support them this year.

I am "willing" to give them the benefit of the doubt on the childhood TDaP but the post exposure prophylaxis refusal? That's straight up child abuse.

Tremendous warning, sir, you should issue more of them, and more often.

But it might be worth a google to see what you might find?

Health psychologist. That’s the specialty you need. I mean… they’re all oversubscribed but there IS actually a specialist area for therapists who are knowledgeable about and work with people with health issues (I was lucky that the IBD clinic where I’m treated has one on staff & she’s AMAZING).

My left leg 😭

where can i get one of those? i think, we will need one at one of the upcoming no queens rallies.

Very sharp image of a nodule in the Trifid Nebula showing protuding narrow jets emerging from the rounded tips of the gas clouds.

Zoom in on a clump of a nebula showing a grainy, fuzzy thin line that has a white arrow annotated to it. This is the jet from the protostar. Image is fuzzy taken with my telescope

Ohhhhh ... love doing these.

Right: same, but from my backyard telescope. Can just see jet!
