GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

"The only way to restore public trust in vaccination – which has taken a big hit since the lies attending the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine – is to put a well-known vaccine skeptic in charge of the vaccine research agenda. The ideal person for this is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr." Martin Kulldorff

Big AI is spending big against me, because I'm for taking them on.

@naomiaklein.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/huma... guest recommendation!

Eagerly waiting for a response from @merkley.senate.gov and @wyden.senate.gov on this issue. Oregon's cultural heritage is facing existential threats. Some of the earliest and most significant archaeological sites in the U.S. are located on federal lands in Oregon.

If anyone who voted MAGA is sad about what they got for their vote, they shouldn’t be They wanted the global economy to be a bank robbery and now that’s what it is They wanted to halt their country’s liberal progress and injure and insult innocent people all over the world and that’s what they did

Umm well yes that would be a good thing for the entire world

How could atrocities like the Tuskegee Experiment been allowed to happen? Thanks to MAHA, and reporters like @katherineeban.bsky.social and @melodyschreiber.com, none of us have to wonder such things anymore. My latest.

With love? You POS. According to the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU), conflict-related violence has killed at least 15,172 civilians and injured 41,378 in Ukraine since the full-scale Russian invasion

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is an indomitable fighter for working people. Can't wait to join forces in the Senate to pass Medicare for All.

From the folks who brought you “they’re promoting cannibalism in schools”

Bottom line is, stay away from these drugs and the people pushing them.

I wrote this 5 years ago about fake cries of censorship.

"Tennessee's review should not ask what went uniquely wrong on September 30. It should ask what could ever have gone right." Read the op-ed from associate professor of anesthesiology/surgery Joel Zivot, MD, MA, JM, at: https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/unchartedterritory/123344

Actors linked to Iran, Russia, China, and other states are using AI to write and translate propaganda, create personas, mimic target audiences, and produce content at scale. @noupside.bsky.social investigates whether AI-generated influence operations are actually changing public opinion.

I post this not to remind of VInay Prasad, but rather to remind of the academic system that nourished, encouraged, and literally promoted the guy who said things like this👇all the time.

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social I vote @timnitgebru.blacksky.app for next guest on the topic of AI as an “existential threat”.

Important proposals for how to fix science funding. Funding needs to map onto how science is actually done: not by demanding this or that result, but by exploring this or that promising direction and seeing what happens.

HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare. The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.

This is how I feel right now. Like mist things, especially technology, it’s likely in the middle where we focus our attention and energy when it comes to rules and regulations. This is where democracy, experts, and government all have important roles. Collective decisions require collective response

liberal democracy is not a luxury. liberal democracy is the magic beast that ran the table on fascism and communism and totalitarianism. we did not do this by giving up on liberal democracy and embracing evil. we did this by sticking to our most dear principles.

Absolutely

@pitchforkeconomics.bsky.social you guys need @lukekemp.bsky.social on the show

That *Rep. Jim Clyburn* is announcing his support for SCOTUS expansion is huge.

Why is trust down? It’s such a mystery.

There’s something hilariously absurd about social media that leads some people to deceive themselves into believing that their brains have suddenly downloaded the expertise that is painstakingly acquired over countless years of training/experience in a highly specialized domain.

🤷🏼

Seems bad for the leaders of an extremely powerful country to be convinced that absolutely every international interaction is a zero-sum game that they must win through superior strength and hostility.

Today, Vinay Prasad is claiming a conspiracy, saying the FDA report was changed for “political” reasons. There’s 0 reason to trust him now and we must resist MAHA attempts to rewrite history. My latest.

Loser

Loser behavior from a guy who’s clinging like a shriveled old barnacle to a sport he doesn’t actually care about in a desperate bid for relevance. Do not cede one inch to him or anyone who acts this way.

In a country so deeply divided, isn't it nice to have something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheFiles-BeginTheTrials ⚖️
