Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

My best cat friend, Maxwell, died yesterday. His fungal infection spread to his lungs and he wasn't able to tolerate the treatment. I had really hoped to be celebrating him being fungus free next month. Give your pets some extra love for me. ❤️

I am suing the NIH. As part of a class action with the ACLU and 16 other plaintiffs, we are challenging the thousands of unlawful grant terminations in an effort to get them all reinstated. Whatever happens, at the very least, no one can say I sat back and watched while they destroyed science.

Democrats are again insisting that Trump release the text of his deals with drug companies. @wyden.senate.gov: “Here we are, months later, with six written requests, legislation to compel release, and a Cabinet secretary’s commitment. And I have not seen a single page.”

For months, Trump has touted his drug-price deals — saying his work should be enough for the GOP to win the midterms. But Trump and his deputies have declined to release the deals' actual text. @publiccitizen.bsky.social sued to get two deals thru FOIA and shared them with The Post.
