30 September 1942 | A French Jewish boy, Daniel Serge Szuster, was born in Paris. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 2 August 1943 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. He was among 727 of them murdered in gas chambers after the selection.

my one experience with a frat guy in college involved him pissing on my front door, me opening said door, grabbing him by the throat, and making him clean it up. not a big fan.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

80 years ago today, the first verdicts were delivered in the Nuremberg trials. Among the twelve subsequent trials was the Doctors’ Trial. One of the witnesses was Dr František Bláha who, as a prisoner, was compelled to carry out post-mortem examinations on corpses in Dachau concentration camp.

Illustration featuring a document from the Dachau concentration camp in the center. In it, František Bláha asks for warmer clothing, as he works in cold rooms that are like “morgues.” The document was filled out in late October 1942.

Die ganze erdzugewandte Seite der Sonne in gelber Farbe. Links am Rand auf der Zeigerposition neun bis zehn Uhr die erwähnte gewaltige Plasmawolke. Das sieht wie eine etwas diffus geformte Ausbuchtung aus. Oder wie ein Berg aus Licht. Da sich der Satellit nur knapp 36000 Kilometer über der Erde befindet, zeigt er die 150 Millionen Kilometer entfernte Sonne aus irdischer Perspektive. Die Eruption geht also nicht in unsere Richtung.

I spoke to @usatoday.com about data on sexual violence at Cornell. Victimization rates are increasing and reporting rates are falling. “Together… those two trendlines tell me that all students, including victims and perpetrators, believe that there is impunity for sexual assault at Cornell.”

A third of undergraduate women say they've been sexually assaulted. But on average, Cornell reported expelling just one attacker per year.

Important to note that this data is only available to us because New York passed a law that requires all colleges and universities to share it. Maryland has a similar law. But that’s it. Schools in every other state can and do keep these records to themselves.

I hope this is already obvious, but: A way anyone reading this could contribute to the fight to end campus sexual violence is to write their state representatives and ask them to pass a similar law to Enough is Enough.

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS

4 WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE.

3 WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM.

6 CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU.

5 IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

TRUMP posted the agreement among AI leaders signed today at the White House. He has described the agreement as “morally binding,” so it’s voluntary.

White House Accord on Super Intelligence
Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities
In order to build a positive future for the American people and the world, we believe every company is responsible for developing its own technology safely and in a way that builds trust with customers and the public.
This starts with every company that is training and deploying frontier models having robust internal processes and controls to ensure that their technology behaves as intended and that any issues are promptly identified and resolved. Therefore, in addition to any other precautions, we believe cach company should implement the following four layers of controls and audits:
(1) Implement robust internal controis to monitor the capabilitics and alignment of its models during training and deployment around areas like cybersecurity, biosccurity, and chemical threats, and to ensure that its models do not hack or access technical systems in unintended ways.
(2) Empower an internal team to ensure all of the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended, and that any issues are remediated.
(3) Partner with an independent external auditor or evaluator to carry out independent assessments of whether the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended.
(4) Designate an independent committee of the board of directors to oversce and receive reports from the teams operating the controls and the internal and external auditors and evaluators, as well as to ensure any issues identified are remediated.
Together, these steps will give each company, its customers, and the public confidence that the technology is operating as intended.
The participating companies will meet regularly to establish standards and best practices to improve the safety of their systems.
Over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations. Regardless of whether this is required of companies, we believe that implementing these controls and audits is critical to …

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.
