Republicans in the Senate are resurrecting a plan to sell millions of acres of federal lands as part of Pres. Trump’s giant big beautiful bill.

Look at these maps. Will the people just sit still and allow this? This is criminal.

[Mike Schuler @MikeSchuler]

Public lands eligible for sale in the Senate Reconciliation Bill... This is absolutely absurd

Gentle parenting your way through leaking military plans in a group chat.

Truly disturbing report in the WSJ: Lawyers at Twitter are threatening advertisers to spend more money on X "or else" X owner Elon Musk will leverage his close relationship with Trump to torpedo mergers. This goes beyond a conflict of interest. It's straight up extortion.

Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems & locking out career employees.

NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research & more. Their critical work saves lives.

My team and I are looking into this & we will not stand for it.

Tried out that other place. If you haven't yet, hope to see you soon. Found almost everyone I follow. 100% signal and 0% noise. Feels like Twitter circa 2011.

What if I told you Atlanta was closer to Canada than Miami?

More languages, more insights!

A few interesting takeaways:

* Java and Kotlin are quick! Possible explanation: Google is heavily invested in performance here.
* Js is really fast as far as interpreted / jit languages go.
* Python is quite slow without things like PyPy.

There are not many places on earth where we have detailed cause-of-death data from before the era of widespread vaccination.

Massachusetts is one of those places.

From 1842-1877, 70% of all deaths were from diseases which we today have vaccines to prevent.

Whether it’s Joe Biden using an executive order to forgive student loans or Matt Gaetz using his adopted son’s Venmo account to pay the pimps of underage sex slaves, both sides have found unusual ways to give money to young people.

If only we had data on vaccine efficacy

IF ONLY WE HAD THE DATA

There’s no job I’m afraid to lose if it requires me to degrade anyone.

If that’s a defining issue for a voter, there will be a different candidate.

We have a bathroom in my office that anybody is welcome to use, including Representative-elect Sarah McBride.

Andy McCabe SLAMS Kash Patel.

“Kash Patel is profoundly incapable of running the FBI. He is absolutely unqualified for that position. He’s never run anything in his life that I’m aware of.”

Most “gotcha” examples of govt funded biology research turn out to have a reasonable purpose the meme-brained are too lazy to discover.
