Everyone reading this is a pandemic survivor. Billions of us are still alive thanks to advances in medical research that are being rolled back by MAGA and MAHA.

50 million people died in the last global pandemic. This time, it was about one-seventh of that. Still too many & we're going backwards.

OMG: “The healthy baby boy was born through natural birth early Monday at 1:38 a.m., standing at birth at 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 139 pounds… While it was a natural birth, zoo staffers were on hand and created a soft-landing area to cushion the calf’s 6-foot drop during delivery.”
In good news, a little one was born in Utah🦒

People have worn out "performative." We often perform things that are real, you know. Posting is a kind of performance of one's politics. Performative doesn't actually mean "fake" or "empty," it just gets deployed that way. We actually need performance. Case in point: last night's performance.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

people who live in chicago camps and social workers with years of experience all said the same thing: evictions make life worse for everyone.

the question isn’t: how does the city decide to close an encampment?

it’s: why does chicago evict people from public parks in the first place?

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.

We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

What British values would those be, and how far do they overlap with Faragist flag-shagging?
Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

When things are falling apart ...

Who surrenders? who was the first to fold?
The billionaires, the institutions, the powerful

Who was the first to organize? the marginalized, the queer, the sex workers, the single moms, the old punks, the three sisters

Listen to me... all the people we have been warned not to trust

The Punk
The disenfranchised

You ever notice how sex workers are always on the front lines of this sort of thing?
