@wmata.com Wish I had asked his name for a shout out b/c WMATA has an amazing staff member at Dupont. Held elevator for us last night. He shared how much he enjoys his job, and even had metro trivia for us. He is part of the team that keeps the elevator and escalators at the station really clean.

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

Casey DeSantis didn’t treat her cancer with ivermectin. She’s just another craven opportunist. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
"There were times when I was going through six rounds of chemotherapy," she added. "I was going through six weeks of radiation, and three surgeries.
And I couldn't get up. Couldn't do very many things. I couldn't pick up my 3 year old, when they wanted me to hold him. And I had to tell him a little bit of a fib, that Mommy's arm hurts. And I have to go back to the hospital because it's about my arm. It wasn't about the arm. To this day, they have no idea of what I've been through."

I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.

A campaign for the FBI to adopt a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism” is less about law enforcement than politics.

James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, and who dedicated his life to hating and diminishing others, has died. I wrote this back when Pat Robertson, a man of equally immoral character, died, and it still applies: it is okay to speak ill of the dead when speaking ill is all the person merits.

Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to back Trump last year, much of it through dark money PACs that shrouded their spending in secrecy. If Trump really wanted to crack down on secretive election influence efforts, he would start not with small-dollar Democratic donors, but with Musk.

Speaking to reporters ahead of his trip to Michigan, Trump was asked about the upcoming conclave process and whom he would like to see as the next pope.

"I'd like to be pope," the president quipped. "That would be my number one choice. No, I don't know, I have no preference...I must say we have a cardinal [Timothy Dolan, who has been the archbishop of New York since 2009] that happens to be out of a place called New York who's very good.
