It's notable how frank some US newspapers were in the immediate post-war period to call out American fascists using the "f-word." The people they were describing called themselves "Christian patriots" and "anti-communists," but they were clearly American fascists and many papers called them that.

HIV and the criminalisation of drug use among people who inject drugs: a systematic review These data confirm that criminalisation of drug use has a negative effect on HIV prevention and treatment. Our results provide an objective evidence base to support numerous international policy initi...

The best current evidence suggests drug policy works better when treated as a public-health problem, not mainly a criminal one: harm-reduction measures have far stronger evidence for reducing mortality and infection than punitive approaches do. E.g. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Trump is clearly not fit to serve.

That’s why I am co-sponsoring a 25th Amendment bill with @raskin.house.gov.

Our country cannot afford having a madman in power.

The only way we unfuck our country is through a puritanical anti-corruption drive. We need to rip out a vast substrate of corrupt elites and marginalize an even larger contingent of mere incompetents and cowards.

Ppl need to be terrified of the white-collar criminal laws of the United States again.

We won.

Tesla Chicago is closed.

Their new location is in a ghost town. They sacrificed visibility to thousands/day--& proximity to the other luxury car dealerships--to get away from us, because we'd turned their brand ambassador location into a liability.

Organizing works.

One thing that's worth repeating: There is *zero* evidence that "substack helps you get readers". The only thing that we've ever seen that helps grow an audience is other authors mentioning your blog or newsletter, which is not the platform's doing. Substack just takes credit for that!

Josh Rogin: “Somebody shorted the oil market today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement—

If you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that's happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began — that's a pattern”

Do you want to see the "big picture" on climate change?

Here it is.

Emissions are on the left, and include CO2, CH4, N2O, and f-gases. Natural CO2 sinks (from healthy forests & oceans) are on the right. And carbon removal, what little there is, is on the right, too. All expressed as GWP100.

Some alysiine braconids have been lekking in the back garden. These are parasites of flies, and given how many I'm seeing, I suspect they've been feeding on maggots in my compost.

Cybernetics is not really meaningful to most people today. Supplanted by so many other terms and branches, like control theory, systems theory, complexity, etc.
I find “AI” an unhelpful term because it embodies a frame I believe is invalid.

The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds.

Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.
