I cannot imagine anything sadder than going to write a post on LinkedIn and then clicking the “rewrite with AI” button. If you aren’t confident you can meet the baseline tone of LinkedIn? I dont know, man.
Baltimore, you have my heart ❤️

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
Changing the clocks is always a good time to remind people that the entire concept of regulating time by clocks was driven by British colonial efforts to regulate labor practices & extract wealth from the colonies using railways (which required coordination). The clock has continued to play ...
Has anyone here used a validated secular questionnaire that they like to measure moral injury—one that can be used longitudinally and with healthcare professionals?
My searches have turned up MIOS and MISS-HP, which have religious elements.
OMIS is promising but wasn't validated longitudinally.
Dalylight savings time is stressful for the brain - every year, a transient risk of accidents and illness. We should consider doing away with it.

The Iran war is costing a minimum of 2 Billion dollars a day. Ten days of it could have eliminated homelessness in the US for good.
#AmericaFirst?
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Baltimore is on everyone's radar as productions and shows leave D.C. and we love it. But we want to remain us, OK! Thanks @lauralippman.bsky.social for the cheerleading!

This is not good.
I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?”

Now Senate can put hold on Mullin until Dems DHS demands are met
he should resign and every other senator should grind the business of the senate to a halt until they no longer have to work under the moral stain of his presence. we have become so unserious. i would like for us to profess to believe in something again
A neighborhood guide to partying with the poets and writers descending on the city for the annual AWP Conference & Bookfair.
And yet Congress, including many if not most Democrats, is going to race to vote $50 billion to pay for more war crimes instead of healthcare for struggling families. Apparently to be "electable" in America you have to be an accessory to mass murder. I am so disgusted right now
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
I don’t think the parents of the elementary school girls massacred in Minab would agree with Hegseth that the US/Israel bombings are “precise”
This was a horrific violation of humanitarian law (news.un.org/en/story/202...)
If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.
The Deputy Attorney General just rescinded the policy against no knock warrants in most cases. That policy was an important public safety measure. Restricting their use saved lives. Breonna Taylor died because of one. www.cnn.com/2022/02/22/u...

It just doesn’t stop with Platner. Lying about a Nazi tattoo; dogwhistling Protocols of Elders of Zion; retweeting a Holocaust denier; and now this. Dont tell me this is converting MAGA. It is MAGA. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran.

This piece is about trains but about many other things too: a scary health diagnosis which ultimately came as a relief, the individualisation of transport, my mid-90s, a great Norwegian film & trying to keep up with your own rules when your own rules keep changing... www.tom-cox.com/an-in-depth-...
It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.
When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.
People keep comparing MAGA/ICE/CBP/MAHA to 1930s Germany.
It's also more and more like late 1960s China, during Cultural Revolution. Or mid 1970s Cambodia, during "Year Zero."
A war against knowledge itself.
