The current discussion on Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, current owner of LA times, feels so surface level. I’m aching for the investigative journalism on his history and where his money lies. He’s got investments in biotech/cancer medicine, that it’s so telling that he’s excited about RFK Jr.’s position.

Really thankful to all of the scientists who made themselves available to talk to me about the unprecedented situation at NIH.
I've never had so many people reach out to me for a story like this.

What the Hell Is Going on at NIH?
Scientists sound the alarm about Trump’s unprecedented “Big Brother” research crackdown.

Esquire talked to me a few months ago about the struggle of discovering music and expanding your tastes in your thirties. For obvious reasons I have my qualms with calling this a "middle-aged music crisis" (lol we're not THAT old), but this is an excellent piece. www.esquire.com/entertainmen...
My Middle-Aged Music Crisis
Studies have found that music discovery stops in our early thirties. At thirty-two, could I avoid becoming a washed music listener?

In 1997, a typical CD retailed for $16.99, which is $33.42 in 2024 dollars.
In 2024, you can subscribe to Spotify Premium for $11.99/month—$6.10 in 1997 dollars—and get access to every new release and a huge back catalog.
This is why your favorite indie artist doesn't make any money on publishing.

We just finished watching The Madness on Netflix last night, so hearing news this morning about the UHC CEO is kinda surreal

Somehow @ckharyn.bsky.social and I were able to make it to two different shows last night. Granted they were only minutes away from each other, and we only saw partial sets of both headliners. But we at least saw 2/3 of both sets!

Get your moms and grandmas digital WiFi picture frames. Share the code with your cousins so everyone can add photos to the frame ahead of time and whenever they want. I promise it’ll kill. My grandma was obsessed with hers. You’re welcome.

But we persist… and we make sure we come back home before midnight.
The number of times @bryochemist.bsky.social and I have just been chilling at home, practically ready for bed, completely forgetting we have a late show to go to… is too many to count. I age decades between buying Fonda/Roxy/Zebulon tickets and going to the actual show.
