Science is too slow in the face of unfettered capitalism which will always create stuff that will sicken us. It’s plastic and it’s bad and from my perspective totally unsurprising archive.is/submit/?url=...

Okay, that's confirmed. Darren Martyn aka infodox of lulzsec fame was killed in Ukraine on Sunday - not by the enemy but while off duty in a freak sauna accident. Damn it. Time to go have a drink and toast the finest criminal I've known.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

I know I already posted about this...but to reiterate: Anthropic copyright settlement authors, PLEASE contact me (Writer Beware) if your publisher is making a claim on a book whose rights have reverted, or claiming anything other than a 50/50 split on an in-contract book. beware@sfwa.org

Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com

FINALLY: If anyone gets a response from a publisher that is something along the lines of "yeah, we just asserted ownership for all titles that had our name listed as publisher regardless of reversion status" PLEASE send that information to me or @victoriastrauss.com.

Can't wait to hit the road with @naomiaklein.bsky.social next month. US, UK, and Canada dates below. We wrote End Times Fascism together because the topic was too intense to face alone. This is a time to gather, learn, plan, and fight with others. We look forward to seeing you!

A new study shows that among people hospitalized with COVID19, other viruses such as EBV, HSV1, and CMV may be reactivated. This effect isn’t limited to those who are immunocompromised, either. So if you’re wondering why I’m still masking indoors in public, have a read.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 7,400 cases across 9 states. The FDA just recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,300 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

The current administration has dismantled protections but the wild fires which originated in Canada have everything to do with the capitalist and political class and if the GOP vanished today it would still be a problem

A reminder that cities used to have terrible air quality like we have today on a regular basis and the current administration continues to actively dismantle the protections and regulations that cleaned that up.
