As a historian of meat and meat safety, I'll second this: "The notion that any profession or industry can self-regulate sufficiently to prevent population health harms is NOT CREDIBLE. Self-regulation is an abject failure in this regard." Ask me about lumpy jaw.

Semi-regular reminder from some1 w/ expertise in history of injury & public health, regulated industries, & motivated bias: The notion that any profession or industry can self-regulate sufficiently to prevent pop health harms is NOT CREDIBLE. Self-regulation is an abject failure in this regard.

Hey man, you need to stop taking my fucking videos, cropping off my handle, splicing it with other clips (which you presumably also stole), and then slapping your name on it. It’s one thing to download my TikTok and post it instead of just sharing here, but we’re hitting lawyer territory here.

“American Flag Blue”? Something is very off here. Trump’s turning the Reflecting Pool into a rushed vanity project w/a no-bid contract reportedly costing taxpayers $1.5 - $6.9 mill, handed to a contractor tied to his orbit, the same company that previously worked on one of his golf club pools. 🧵

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Seems as if this works — if employers start firing people for standing up for their neighbors and fellow humans — than a remedy is publicizing the identity of those employers.

Publishing the names of protesters and contacting their employers to have them fired for exercising their rights is a tactic straight out of the White Citizens Councils.

If you're going to make a post praising an incredible news photo, it's a real bad look when you don't include the photographer credit in the post.

the Fantastic Four cast get asked about their own personal fantastic four, which leads to some canned niceties from pascal, kirby and quinn, and an insanely he knows ball answer from ebon.

Wow, WaPo bringing the heat with this earth-shattering study that obsesity is caused by eating too many calories vs those expended. wapo.st/4eN2IDX Good lord. Why do you think so many people are losing by taking GLP-1 inhibitors? They eat less. Full stop.

wapo.stWhat causes obesity? A major new study is upending common wisdom.Many people assume obesity is caused by inactivity and burning fewer calories. But our diets — and excess calorie intake — may actually be the cause.

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

*Biden tries to forgive student loans* SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. *Trump revokes part of the constitution* SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

I would pay a large sum of money out of my own pocket to watch the non-NFL flag football team vs. the NFL flag football team in a qualifier to see who represents the US

And also, the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy.

Friendly reminder that the most important things for most businesses to make decisions and investments are the rule of law and regulatory certainty.

#STEM folks stop what you’re doing and read this. All the coding, pipetting, and calculus won’t matter if our graduates aren’t humans.

“Remember this, the imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks, authority is brittle, oppression is the mask of fear,” … “One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: try.”

Andor is the single-best Star Wars story since the Original Trilogy (arguably since Empire) and all the more astounding for what it was able to fit into a Disney production. Here's to sticking the landing open.substack.com/pub/atherton...
