the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

Yes! I declined, and then had a truly fascinating and horrifying conversation with her about the current state of affairs in the organization.

New Gas-Powered Data Centers Could Emit More Greenhouse Gases Than Entire Nations A WIRED review of permits for data center projects using natural gas and linked to OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI shows they could emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year.

We could just ... not let them do this.

i think it is cool that the president of the united states routinely slurs black people as biological inferior

AEG Owner Phil Anschutz Is Still Donating to Causes Promoting Anti-LGBTQ Beliefs AEG owner Philip Anschutz donated $1,020,000 to two organizations that made public statements against LGBTQ people -- Colorado Christian University and the Sky Ranch Christian camping organization.

Meet the rich homophobic ghoul who is the owner of the Coachella Festival.

Okay, this sucks, award-winning letterer @simonbowland.bsky.social, one of the best in the business and the first name I suggest when editors ask, is dry of work at the moment.

Simon is EXCELLENT, always tasteful with great impact. If you need a letterer, this is one of the best.

"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."

The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!

Oh, well, in that case—WAIT A MINUTE.

Black Nurses Coalition hosts free CPR workshops to raise awareness A recent report released by the American Heart Association found there is still a need to expand CPR training within Black communities. An Albany doctor is working to meet that need.

According to AHA, Black and brown people are 41% less likely to receive CPR in public. For @wamc.org I followed a local nurses coalition hoping to change those numbers in Albany.

The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.

Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.

Connecting some dots here: the Associated Press offered buyouts to ~120 US journalists this month, and among the reasons is that McClatchy dropped AP in 2024. This is a piece of what McClatchy is doing instead.

Reports indicate Elon Musk controls a secretive network of over 90 companies and entities so he can hide how he spends his money.

No wonder he wanted the Trump admin to “look into” the Corporate Transparency Act, which would have regulated those companies.

ok fine

I discussed this very thing last night.

California and Virginia had the voters decide.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

The strait has been a particular source of frustration. Before the U.S. went to war, Trump told his team that Iran’s government would likely capitulate before closing the strait, and that even if Tehran tried, the U.S. military could handle it, The Wall Street Journal has reported. Some of the president’s advisers were caught off guard that tanker traffic would grind to a halt so quickly after the bombing began, according to a person in contact with the White House. Trump has since marveled at the ease with which the strait was closed. A guy with a drone can shut it down, Trump has said to people, expressing belated irritation that the key waterway was so vulnerable. He has publicly oscillated between demanding support from allies to help open it and insisting that the U.S. doesn’t need or want military assistance.

These two ¶¶ more than 35 ¶¶ into an adventure in sanewashing would be the entire story if reporters cared about accountability for Trump.

Trump was warned abt Strait.
He ignored those warnings.
Now he confesses he was wrong.

Donald Trump claims he “saved historically Black colleges.”

According to college administrators, HBCU presidents and the actual data, Trump is overseeing the worst attack on these institutions in American history.

Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week.

And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY.

You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.

I see lucrative consulting careers for all the media archaeologists and archivists :)

How much newsroom time + expensive resources have to go into policing and discussing and wrangling efforts to put slop into our publication and con a check out of us for it?
