are we supposed to open these

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

My youngest must have stock in an Urgent Care company the way he’s acting today.

Cute, but absolute bedlam.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

My father survived a year with pancreatic cancer but it was a year of terrible suffering. This is very encouraging news.

Imagine being a “biohacker” and being against vaccines.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

some things about becoming a parent are radicalizing in ways I expected - e.g being reminded viscerally how screwed we'd all be if childcare and other care work disappeared. but other things are radicalizing in ways I didn't - like experiencing constant spontaneous solidarity in ways big and small

I wish every person could have a one hour crash lesson on immunology and vaccines. It’s one of the absolute coolest damn things that we’ve ever accomplished.

Imagine being a “biohacker” and being against vaccines.

I really love these Japanese release posters for Rogue One.

Those are fantastic!

This is like going to a bullfight wearing PETA underoos.

/2 Also, the White House Correspondents Dinner was gross even when normal people were in power; a Trump White House Correspondents’ Dinner is merely the satirical expression of how gross it is.

Counterpoint: no, it isn’t. Leo is in line with the traditional teaching of the church. Trump is a warmonger, corrupt, delights in humiliating others, and is blasphemous on a level that wouldn’t even occur to most people.

This isn’t hard.

Started watching the Pitt recently. So amazing.

But it also was striking to see like, only one popular show that seems to actually address things like COVID, mass shootings, houselessness, opioid epidemic etc.

Our media really does for the most part play on escapism and erasure.

I killed a man, cuz he killed my goat.
I put my hands around his throat.

Please kill me

I'm a huge fan of forfeited trump family assets funding infrastructure projects and a Dept of Education expansion and upgrade for decades and decades to come after they're seized in a few years.

Meta threw a party for a right-wing influencer who wants to “save the West” The celebration offers a cocktail-fueled look at the tech behemoth's rightward pivot.

NEW: Meta co-sponsored a celebration with the Daily Wire for podcaster Isabel Brown, who often foments about Islam and wants to "save the West," which is an interesting, cocktail-party-level look at the company's rightward pivot www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If there are any Democrats who are thinking of running for the presidency on 2028 on anything less than a clear agenda of widespread prosecution for this administration's corruption and fundamental structural changes to ensure it can't happen again, they should just stop right there.

Since schisms are all the rage at the moment (because everything is normal and fine), I’d like to mention that Schism, IMO, is the greatest rock song ever by the best rock band of the last 30 years.

Recommend a dark room and good headphones. It’s a slow build but it’s really good.

On tax day, this is your loud reminder that we need to tax the rich.

I’ve been to incredibly niche talks on the last day of a conference that have had better attendance.

I miss group chats.

Absolutely stunned that the Society for Epidemiologic Research chose John Ioannidis to deliver the conference keynote in the Year of Our Lord 2026.
