It's weird how the federal government is constantly being hacked after DOGE gutted the government's cybersecurity agencies.

I’m sorry but this isn’t a feel good story. It’s dystopian. Babies with disabilities should not be bearing the burden of raising money so other babies with disabilities can have access to something as basic as hearing. We need universal healthcare. It’s half the cost and full coverage. 1/2

Doctors say that measles can kill young children. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his car says they'll be fine as long as they eat enough beef tallow. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

They absolutely did not lose this case. They just bought themselves some nice shiny 10-year regulatory capture for the low, low price of $18b and with one stroke just killed at least three dozen future competitors before they could even be founded. This was a complete victory.

Given your years of experience you likely already have Filing A Grievance down cold, but if not, shoot me a DM. I’ve only done it in two states (which have state-level reporting requirements for grievances) but it got me escalated to people who actually did *something* in both cases.

Is that...is that supposed to be an argument against healthcare

Darline Graham, new Republican candidate for Senate in South Carolina, told a crowd last night that government-run health care is a terrible idea and then told everyone her parents had to work at their liquor store even if they were sick, and her mother and father died when she was 11 and 12, respectively. Apparently as an argument against healthcare.

Both the Economist and others suggest this study demonstrates that AI can help students. So I contacted the lead researcher to figure out how many. Answer: Out of ~26,000 kids, a total of 20. And five months after starting to use AI, only four continued to spend 65 minutes on homework. Four.

Graph of student exam scores correlated to homework completion time for to groups, students using AI and those that did not. There is a slight spike for studens using AI who also maintained extensive homework completion time. As described in post, the number of students falling into this bucket was 20 out of 26,000.

Welcome back, feminist theory of 43 years ago:

“To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
― Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

I’ve seen a lot of folks take that kind of feedback as a “eh, maybe next time“ (or even as some sort of personal attack) but you embraced it, modeled conspicuous curiosity, and turned it into something that educates the web. Well done 👏
