Nerd stuff - Numbers, computers, TTRPGs. Second standard deviation progressive.

This is a level of absurdity I can only aspire to. Utterly brilliant.

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Huge shift in American views of Israel

2022: 55% view Israel favorably, 42% unfavorably
2026: 37% view Israel favorably, 60% unfavorable

Generational divide hits both parties: 57% of *Republicans under 50* are negative on Israel

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."
If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:

- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal

Gen X collectively reliving Challenger, Columbia and Cold War nuclear holocaust anxiety all in the same week is a fucking lot, y'all.

I interviewed @katmabu.bsky.social for @theintercept.com about her campaign's mutual aid program. She told me that win, or lose, she was hoping this would become something more campaigns would do moving forward.

This anti-war PSA that aired during the Vietnam War. Its message is sadly still very relevant today.

Asymmetric warfare offers powerful aggressors the privilege of hypocrisy... The U.S. and Israel’s own stated justifications for the Iranian university strikes de facto legitimize strikes against an MIT or a Tel Aviv University... latest @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/03/30/iran-universities-mit-weapons-israel/

I know I’m a broken record on this but:

A handful of law profs are engaging in an effort to convince the Supreme Court to accept a reactionary administration’s effort to redefine American citizenship and render countless children stateless.

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance.

Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf.
