This and no remake? Cant tell if people will riot with joy or anger

I've been thinking I'd really love to teach a 16 credit coordinated class - possibly multi-quarter - called "Just Blame Reagan".

The material is just so rich.

Ouch, good luck with the big project man!

One of those things I’ll be angry about for the rest of my life, sigh

The incompetence and incuriosity of the people who dismantled USAID is astounding

you folks really should read this excerpt — an insider story of the trump appointees and their gormless behavior

it’s short but very very telling

Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

This is NUTS

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.

'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

I am obsessed with this clip and have watched it multiple times

For people who don't NYC is a tidal estuary. It has currents. The "safe to eat" designation is both because *decades* of cleanup has reduced PCB levels and because the fish they've selected are migratory.

So let’s have universal health care and help people live in dignity.

between the crackdown on journalists' and satirists' social media posts, and the millions of purged voters, India is really ramping up the authoritarianism while international observers are focused elsewhere …

The sequel crossover I've been waiting for years to see.

Nope Full Offense. An all white gaming newsroom in this economy isn't a fluke it's an ACTIVE CHOICE

What they're saying: Big tech companies "will be the leaders in demonstrating carbon capture," said KR Sridhar, co-founder and CEO of Bloom Energy, a maker of fuel cell units that generate power with natural gas. • "I strongly believe carbon capture use and storage will be the only way we will decarbonize the planet in a big way over the next two decades," Sridhar said. • Bloom is in early talks with "many of the hyperscalers" about deploying carbon capture, but Sridhar said the company won't talk about it publicly until next year.

It's actually super embarrassing that @axios.com is so nakedly a PR platform for greenwashing.

I'm kind of fascinated by that big Lauren Sanchez Bezos feature in the Times. There's just nothing going on there at all, no insight or conflict or notable color, so the hook is just "this unfathomably rich but otherwise fatuous person enjoys their lifestyle a great deal." Fantastic stuff.

Again, if you have a Substack, the best time to switch away was months ago -- but today's the second best time.

Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.

Big Tech bent the knee for Trump in 2025 Tech companies may have lost their moral standing in 2025, but at least they added shareholder value by backing the Trump administration.

Yah, I appreciate the folks who are chronicling his misdeeds. I did this last year just so wouldn’t forgot all the tech money that went to him and his cronies www.engadget.com/general/big-...

More sticks, rocks and tree limbs. Coloring and shading is completely different. Not the artist intent here. So yah, different image. You have eyes! Use them!

This is GREAT advice.

Not just for on here. Yes, it is hard and sucks to walk away from relationships, but in the long run it helps our lives be so much healthier.

Remember that you do not deserve abuse or harm, from anyone. Find the people who love you, challenge you, and build you up.

Yes, it’s a completely different image
