Let me also add two things: 1. Having a UFC fight for the 250th is more offensive to me because it's practically *all* we're getting. We've slashed money from museums to shovel it at Trump's pet projects. 2. I'm a 250th expert, you should invite me to come talk about this.

There's a prominent Republican congressman who met his current wife when she was in high school and he was in his 40s, and it's just treated like no big deal by his caucus. Worth remembering when they dismiss the Epstein Files stuff as no big deal.

Today is World AIDS Day. AIDS has killed 44 million people globally. Over the years, we've learned that silence and stigma are huge contributors. Yet, the State Department sent an email to employees stating “The US Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year.” Silence = Death

Please note that this guidance has now changed. This new guidance supersedes the blanket approval we shared last week.
The U.S. Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year. To comply with this new directive, please note the following:
•USG funds should not be used for any World AIDS Day-related events or commemorative activities.
• Please refrain from publicly promoting World AIDS Day through any communication channels, including social media, media engagements, speeches, or other public-facing messaging.
• CDC and other USG personnel may attend external, locally organized World AIDS Day events, but may not speak at these events or promote their attendance via social media or media channels.
We recognize this updated guidance differs from the blanket clearance and may require adjustments to planned activities. Thank you for vour flexibility and attention to these changes

The utterly philistine "content goes here" must be one of the least inspiring phrases with which creative people are confronted. That thing you call content is art, and exists because someone chose to make it. It's not an adjunct to your marketing and engagement plans.

Pride started as a riot. By trans women of color, leather men, drag queens, sex workers and every identity we still see today, even if we didn't have the words to identify with back then. If you're gatekeeping pride, you might be the one who shouldn't be there.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Finally, to power their complex electronics, data centres that host Al technology need a lot of energy, which in most places still comes from the burning of fossil furs, producing planet-warming greenhouse gases. A request made through ChatGPT, an Al-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search, reported the International Energy Agency. While global data is sparse, the agency estimates that in the tech hub of Ireland, the rise of Al could see data centres account for nearly 35 per cent of the country's energy use by 2026.
