“Eminem dropped a pro-Charlie Kirk verse in a song on Kid Rock’s new Christian music album” is quite the sentence to have to put together, but 2026 is full of surprises

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.

The thing about the florid apocalypticism you sometimes encounter on this site is that a lot of people are less horrified by literal civilizational collapse than by the notion that our descendents are just going to keep muddling through and in less than a century nobody will remember us.

dems love to act like the left just appears out of nowhere at election time to sabotage them, as if they haven't spent the last two to six years actively denying leftists any voice within the party and openly collaborating with republicans to delegitimize and even criminalize leftist movements

is there a legitimate problem re: racism with a bunch of white people going “i listen to anything but rap” - absolutely, especially when they start to call *any* music by a black artist “rap/hip-hop”. but no one is oppressing you for liking country, country artists aren’t discriminated against

I went and looked at the poster's insta, and it appears that the reason they(? I'm not sure about pronouns) call themselves immunocompromised is because they believe that Hashimoto's makes you immunocompromised because it's an autoimmune disease, which isn't even remotely true.

The serious risk from AI shown by this incident is people—namely the US military—thinking the tech is more capable than it is and nearly acting based on bad info. It wasn’t insufficient reverence for the tech’s power. Not only are these opposite problems, believing the latter worsens the former.

*GROUP LINKED TO RFK JR. SOLD ACCESS TO US OFFICIALS AT EVENT *MAHA SUMMIT SOLICITED $300,000 SPONSORSHIPS FROM COMPANIES *HHS SAYS OFFICIALS WEREN'T AWARE OF SPONSORSHIP ARRANGEMENTS
(Bloomberg) -- A nonprofit group with ties to US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. solicited payment from companies in exchange for access to top agency officials at an upcoming event, according to documents viewed by Bloomberg News.
Ahead of the MAHA Summit on Sept. 29, a menu of sponsorship options was circulated to companies and consultants with various tiers of support, according to people familiar with the solicitations who weren’t authorized to speak publicly. The highest level, quoted at $300,000 to some prospective sponsors, guaranteed a speaking slot at the event “with meaningful input on the panel composition and topic” as well as a “private dinner for 30 guests” with Kennedy and Mehmet Oz, head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
The organization running the event is part of a web of interconnected groups that comprise Kennedy’s external political network. It’s unusual for a Cabinet member to maintain an active political operation.HHS spokesperson Emily Hilliard said in a written statement that “department officials listed as speakers were not involved in the planning or sponsorship activities for the MAHA Summit and were not aware of the sponsorship arrangements described.”
Kennedy has long criticized the health agencies he now oversees for being captured by corporate influences they are meant to regulate.
Companies that have signed on to sponsor the MAHA Summit include Anthropic, OpenAI, Walmart Inc., Hims & Hers Health Inc., Centene Corp., Tempus AI Inc. and Compass Pathways Plc, according to the event website. It’s unclear how much each contributed, though the most prominently featured logos are sleep apnea devicemaker ResMed Inc., whose chief medical officer is appearing on a panel with National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya, and cancer screening company Grail Inc., whose chief executive officer is speaking in another session.
