Yesterday we were all waiting in the Epstein line. Today, the entire country has turned into investigators, tracking which files are disappearing. Sixteen gone so far. There’s been a remarkable amount of teamwork, with people working together to identify the missing documents.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing
these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous
this is worth sharing and educating people about

Around a decade ago, the US implemented new rules to limit the use of antibiotics in meat and dairy production to combat the nation’s antibiotic resistance crisis. But according to recently published data from the FDA, antibiotic sales for use in livestock surged by an alarming 15.8% in 2024.

a point I feel the need to make about regulation, generally: it’s not that companies will automatically follow the law or that regulatory penalties can always be greater than the benefit of acting illegally
it’s that making something illegal gives employees a greater chance of refusing to do it

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

weird how the rubric for “is it a controlled substance” is “do people enjoy it” not “is it dangerous”
stimulants: some of the most-studied meds, difficult to overdose, but people enjoy it = controlled substance
fluoroquinolones: can make your aorta shred itself, no fun = not a controlled substance
