Tuberculosis has been curable for 80 years.
Yet it remains the worldโs leading infectious killer.
As Dr. Carole Mitnick reminds us, the problem isnโt a lack of tools, itโs a lack of investment and action.
Ending TB is possible.

The reason the media are going after Zack Polanski:
His opposition to Israel's genocide & Iran war
The media is not your friend
A great start! Now it's time to pound the rest of this cursed app into dust. Tell everyone what a bunch of ratfucking monsters make this sort of thing, how AI "writing" apps destroy ALL writers--those whose work is stolen, and those trying to write. Because writing is thinking.
Writing is thinking. Writing is a way of molding YOUR OWN thoughts. So when you hand over your "writing" to monstrous AI apps made by the most craven motherfuckers imaginable, you hand them the keys to YOUR head. AND you strip the work of writers. GRIND THESE APPS TO DUST.
They wanted to block side loading entirely and had to back down from the pressure of EVERYONE getting pissed off.
Now they're trying again, but from another angle.
I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

To the people that are all too happy about the NY AG Steam lawsuit saying that all the people against it are Valve stans.
I beg of you to understand the dangers of age verification to vulnerable populations that the lawsuit is pushing on the down low.
FOR EVERYONE not just people in NY.
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)

If I may be millennial and cringe for a moment, my organization @fightforthefuture.org has been running campaigns trying to strike down US government surveillance and corporate data harvesting for years.

Swedish private equity group takes 42% stake in Yorkshire Water.
Thames Water, Northumbrian Water, Southern Water, South West Water and Wessex Water gutted by PE.
All have criminal convictions, dump sewage in rivers, profiteer. 90% of England's water is foreign owned.
Expect more looting.
historical oil demand vs secnarios
On the second fossil fuel crisis of this decade (and likely to be worse than the last, fair to say), a few small thoughts
First: global oil demand would be so much lower without climate delay, fossil corruption, oversized SUVs, western overconsumption. Everyone who pushed these holds responsibility
"Systems that donโt work would pose no threat to labor; systems nobody uses would pose no threat to the environment, and systems propped up by a failing industry will collapse โ all we have to do is wait"
"Thatโs not a principled or rigorous ground for critique; itโs passivity"

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

It's vaguely fascinating and jarring that Claude gets sold as the responsible, narrow, work-focused non-sycophantic chatbot while at the same time Anthropic also seems to have convinced a stunningly massive number of formerly normal people that Claude is a living thing trapped inside the computer
Footage reviewed and geolocated by Bellingcat confirms US tomahawk missiles hit the girlsโ primary school in southern Iran that killed 175 people, most of them children.
