I like the "on the road" feature and do think the reality is that fewer people are listening live (I know I'm listening more to the podcast to the live show). And I do think it will be good to have Evan doing original reporting.

Measles doesn't just maim & kill. Measles is expensive & unpleasant w/something like 25% of measles cases requiring hospitalizations. Which is a lot of fucking money & capacity even in a "small" outbreak. I just* dissociated so fucking hard. This all feels so fucking unreal & bizarre. *spiked

I’m not sure if even those Americans who are full-on fighting Trump, MAGA and the GOP can fully understand that the rest of the world looks at 37% STILL supporting the most obviously and completely corrupt, moronic and power-mad leader as evidence that the United States can’t ever be trusted again.

It helps to understand America as a casino you’re trapped in: no windows to another future, no concept of time apart from the casino itself, designed to wear you down. Neon lights and beeps and boops, every machine dressed up as some familiar IP, all doing the same thing: slowly bleeding you dry.

NYT faithfully preserves every “like,” “uh,” and verbal stumble in AOC's quotes. Funny how I rarely see that same devotion to the unedited transcript when they quote male politicians.

I am listening to The Daily on the Endangered Species Act. And it's good. But I need NYT to understand that the ESA isn't JUST FOR ANIMALS. And the ESA does not only protect plants when they form critical habitat for animals. It protects actual endangered plants. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/p...

A new interpretation of the law would mean that only the intentional killing of animals, not collateral harm, would be illegal.

I haven't seen any input from the larger climate community on this proposal, which essentially codifies bribes for communities to accept data centers. This just seems like such a terrible idea to me! @petesikora.bsky.social would love to know your thoughts www.news10.com/capitol/data...

One thing I do think a lot of social democratic politicians have basically completely lost through jadedness and cynicism is the ability to speak of values, to the heart, and we live in a time in which that is absolutely desperately needed.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

As I warned you: the superstar media darling AI quitter is explicitly agreeing with Trump and claiming climate threats are "overplayed". Effective altruism / rationalism is a cult of broken priorities that denies the threat of fossil fuels. This is why Anthropic loves burning gas for power.
