Today is Armistice Day.
As we fall silent at 11am, we remember all those who have lost their lives in war and conflict around the world.
Lest we forget.

The abject cruelty inherent in America's ultra capitalism is now impossible to hide.
SNAP is only necessary because the minimum wage is so low it basically allows employers to treat workers like indentured servants.
And that's the way many employers like it.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning:
Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.
So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.
Dystopian.

Right: time to be a bit controversial about one of the greatest TV writers ever, Vince Gilligan.
Love the concept of Pluribus, and Rhea Seehorn 🥰 but my gosh, what a false step to make the central character a female romantasy novelist who is cynical about the genre, her readers and her work. 1/3

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Also, the co-discovered has a big asterisk on it because if we are being honest he and Crick stole Rosalind Franklin's work and she never got recognition for the discovery which was a central piece to decoding the double helix structure.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

I always wonder how folks like Krauss and Dawkins fail to feel any shame for betraying science and the academic enterprise more generally. Nate is probably right that it's just the huckster's temptation, only now selling resentment instead of snake oil.

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??
Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

It’s always worth remembering that this utterly horrific wave of mass death inflicted on some of the poorest people in the world was for literally nothing. It hasn’t even been for some monstrously cynical benefit to someone, it hasn’t saved money. It is just some of the purest nihilism imaginable
Even in this place, I feel the sheer scale of foreign aid being demolished isn't fully appreciated. As it stands, it is perhaps *the* most catastrophic change to preventable deaths in our lifetimes, and the salience - even in presumably friendly spaces - is basically zero
