I'm currently on a train to New York and trains are the best and I am so mad we don't have more of them in the US.

I have a routine oncology appointment this morning that I'm hella nervous about only because I haven't had a cancer appointment in a while and I've gotten used to not going to the hospital regularly.

I started Invisalign yesterday and I must say I've been very focused on the end result and had therefore forgotten how much orthodontic work sucks ass.

Pretty egregious error from this book: The authors say Swedish deaths fell by 2.3% during the pandemic, proving that the country's lax lockdown strategy worked. But they misread their source: Mortality is only down if you remove the COVID deaths. research.abo.fi/ws/portalfil...

I have a lot to say about the resurgent young men / masculinity discourse but for now will confine myself to: I wish I knew how to convince teenage boys/young men is how little of the world actually requires or even invites the hypermisogynist "tough guy" aesthetic

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

"I’ve been called selfish and told I’m too young — and so is my son — to “really” be sure I don’t want more kids. But I am dying on this one-and-done hill. And when I go, I’ll be a mother to one child," writes reporter Jasmine Vaughn-Hall.

When you dump an entire agency into a "wood chipper" — as Musk boastfully did two weeks ago (see his tweet at x.com/elonmusk/sta...) — this is the kind of tragedy that can result. Many more tragedies will come to light. This is the core and legacy of the Trump-Musk administration: pure destruction.

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

Any asshole can build an org where the smartest, most experienced engineers in the world can get shit done. A truly great engineering org is one where normal, workaday software engineers, with decent skills and ordinary experience, can move fast, ship code, and move the business forward day by day.

Mammograms are considered preventative care and therefore covered at 100% according to the ACA. However, once you've had breast cancer, your mammograms are now considered diagnostic and not preventative and therefore are not covered at 100%.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned. The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.
