Porsha Ngumezi died at a Texas hospital after bleeding heavily during a miscarriage.

The medical board’s discipline of her doctor felt like “a slap in the face,” her husband said. “What kind of justice is this for Porsha?”

you really do hate to see it (and you gotta imagine Cantor Fitzgerald holds many investments in NBA sponsors)

cajoling me into the delusion that it was a choice resulting from my own unbiased freewill and discriminating judgment

for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

My next village council meeting falls on May the 4th and it's taking all my Jesus not to express order this.

But to be clear: you’re going to this event and registering your mild displeasure with the destruction of the 1st amendment by…wearing a pocket square. While you enjoy a formal dinner with people who are doing above-mentioned destroying who are also building a huge network of concentration camps.

I am broken-hearted at the terrible news that my alma mater, @hampshirecollege.bsky.social, after 56 yrs, is closing. Its death is a victory for conformism, for corporatism, for higher education's dull love of hierarchy & status. It's a grievous defeat for imagination & experimentation.

World Cup tourists & fans beware: 3 World Cup host cities—Miami, Dallas, & Houston—already have 287(g) agreements with the Trump admin, empowering local police to conduct immigration enforcement activities (& to get reimbursed for the salaries & benefits of participating officers).

Space stuff is cool.

We should do somewhat less war stuff and somewhat more space stuff.

Artemis II is $4bn per launch, roughly the cost of 2-4 days of War in Iran.

What if we did not do War in Iran, but instead did cool space stuff?
