Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

🚨 Trump’s HHS just gutted NIOSH—laying off 85% of staff and shuttering key science programs.
🧪 Cancer research for firefighters? Halted.
😷 Respirator safety testing? Ceased.
📉 Decades of public health and worker safety science in jeopardy.

Worker safety agency NIOSH lays off most remaining staff
Laid-off employees ranged from those working in firefighter health programs, to those approving new respirators.

I work in industrial ceramics manufacturing. My plant also produces cast iron and glass.
Without well-managed air filtration and access to NIOSH approved respirators and dust masks, workers like me will be at increased risk of lung conditions like silicosis & mesothelioma, and other organ damage.

I get it, I heart radio: the podcasts I listen to have majority-male audiences.
That doesn't mean I want to listen to the same 2-minute prostate cancer treatment ad during every ad break on every show!

Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years.
Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content
More than 50 organisations report sites being restricted or removed, with abortion hotlines blocked and posts showing non-explicit nudity triggering warnings

Philip DeFranco calling cowboy boots "manly heels" on his podcast with Alex Perlman gave me a good chuckle.
They really are just kitten heels for men. 1.5" or so, maybe 2" if you're feeling nasty.

This, and just as a general note - LLM chats (yes, including yours) are in no way secure. Claims to the contrary are bullshit and hype.
Yet another reason to block LLMs apps you don't explicitly authorize in the enterprise. Threat actors using malvertising to drive victims to shared chats with malicious instructions.

Tax the rich. Tax the corporations. Tax the churches.
For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system?
People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

one of my favourite games to play is called "see if NVIDIA's statements make any sense." This is a good example of one that does not: this is from its Q1FY2026 (May) earnings, and would equate to 72MW of IT load per week, or 3.7GW a year. This hasn't happened. It isn't happening.

Always amazed that some people seems flabbergasted that the solution to people not having a home is giving people enough money to afford one.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
