If President Trump’s earlier political rallies felt like standing-room-only rock concerts, the latest ones are starting to feel like the first stops of a farewell tour.

The events are a ritual. He will attack Democrats. **His words will probably stop making actual, logical sense for a moment, or for many moments.** (It’s “the weave,” you see.) He will accuse Democrats of rigging the 2020 election (they didn’t). He will attack the news media. Then he will dance to a Village People song.

Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history, has died at 84. Hastert admitted in federal court to sexually abusing boys he coached as a high school wrestling coach. A federal judge called him a "serial child molester." He was a registered sex offender.

If I had to guess, the obvious reason for this is that an LLM simply does not fucking tire. It will always be ready for an other round of argument, it will always be able to dig into whatever dumb rabbit hole you want to pivot to. You have to fucking kneecap it to stop it from doing these things.

40% of surveyed HIV organisations had run out of stocks of vital products, such as PrEP or HIV tests, as a result of cuts to international aid funding, led by Trump. More people will acquire HIV. More people will die of AIDS. “This is not a distant risk – it is already happening.”

Shortages of crucial HIV medicines due to aid cuts are a ‘warning’, say experts
More than half of organisations providing HIV care surveyed by International Planned Parenthood Federation said they had run out of stock at some point during past 12 months

this is a well-reported piece with an awful lot written between the lines, and one of the things that jumps out at me is just how ill-informed these people are. the trucker, his partner, his mother — they can’t even agree *amongst themselves* on a shared understanding of events

There's a reason why Somerville hasn't had a traffic death in 4 years. The city isn't perfect, but they've made a concerted effort to design many streets around people and not cars. You can still drive, but you're going to have to do so slowly and while paying attention.

Somerville is intentionally making roads harder to drive on. It’s getting results. - The Boston Globe
To make roads safer, the city says, sometimes you have to put some obstacles in drivers' way.
