FOX: Does that disturb you to hear this growing movement of democratic socialists in the United States who think it is the government's job to make sure you live a dignified life?
El-Sayed: I assume you went to good public school. And you get to drive on good roadways or wish the roads are good? When you put your garbage out, someone picks it up?
Vaccines will be ineffective against competently designed pandemic weapons. Russia may not be competent yet, but future AI will democratize competence.
We should stockpile pandemic-proof PPE and install germicidal far-UV and glycol misters in public spaces.

He was convicted of murder at seventeen on the strength of a single hair found in a stocking mask.
An FBI analyst told the jury it matched him "in all microscopic characteristics."
Twenty-eight years later, DNA testing showed that none of the hairs were his — and that one of them was a DOG's.
Santae Tribble. There were witnesses who put him elsewhere. There was no other physical evidence. The hair was the case.
He served twenty-eight years and came home in 2003 with hepatitis C. He was exonerated in 2012.
And then the ground opened up under the entire field: a joint review by the FBI, the Justice Department and two innocence organisations examined hundreds of cases involving hair comparison testimony.
In more than ninety per cent of the cases reviewed where hair evidence had been used to implicate a defendant, FBI examiners had given flawed testimony that overstated what the science could show.
Thirty-two of those defendants had been sentenced to death. Fourteen had already been executed or died in prison.
The Bureau admitted it publicly in 2015. A jury in Washington DC sent a teenager away for life partly on the evidence of a dog hair, and the expert who testified had a federal badge.
That is not a rogue scientist. That was the national standard for decades.
Santae Tribble’s case is the kind of injustice that made us document 150 Crimes Against Black America They Never Answered For—to confront the cases where flawed evidence, institutional power, and a broken system changed lives without accountability.

10 Hills I’ll die on:
- Big corporations shouldn’t be able to buy elections
- A good education shouldn’t just be for rich kids
- Getting sick shouldn’t mean going broke
- We should invest in child care like we do our roads and libraries
- Billionaires should pay their fair share so everyone else gets a fair shot
- Homes are for people, not corporations
- Abortion is health care
- Americans should not have to subsidize the cost of data centers
- No one should be able to use public office to make themselves richer
- We need to put put power back in the hands of working people
These privileged frat bros gang graped a girl and invited others to join in.
The story was buried, only two were expelled (Cornell suspensions are for genocide protestors) and we are only hearing about it now because the victim is suing.
Cornell protected them, the police protected them, the system protected them.
This the Epstein class. This is how it’s bred.
What keeps running through my mind is those boys killed Nolan. Then later on, called his mom, asking her had she heard from him. Finished w/ giving her well wishes as she waits. All while they had his phone….
You understand how evil that is?!
The Cornell 7:
Matthew Ingalls
Johnathan Newell
Winston Lee
Gillio Lopes
Diego Sarabia

All 7 Chi Phi members are named as defendants in a civil lawsuit alleging they drugged a Cornell student with ketamine and sexually assaulted her for HOURS in 2024. The suit says a message advertising “free p***y” was sent to the frat group chat while she was incapacitated.
And "men" showed up to take him up on his offer.
And Cornell’s response? The lawsuit alleges some were given the opportunity to MITIGATE THEIR CONDUCT BY WRITING ESSAYS.
She left Cornell. 5 of them were ALLOWED TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION AT CORNELL.
Remember their names and faces.
The last 24 hours of news as a woman:
- A man jacks off to the woman next to him on a plane. United makes her return to her seat.
- 7 frat boys drug and gang rape a student for hours, and advertise “free p*ssy” to their frat. Cornell makes them write essays.
- A football player rapes a student. LSU reduces his suspension.
- A teen boy stalks and stabs a girl 10 times. Courts grant only a restraining order.
- Brendan Carr spent 9 years in a cult raping teen girls. Trump made him FCC Chair.
I didn't know Presley Gerber. But I was rooting for him from afar, the way you root for anyone you recognize battling the same demons.
Addiction is a disease that knows no bounds. It doesn't care who your parents are, how much money you have, how loved you are, or how hard you're trying. And he was trying. He fought for his recovery in public, in front of a world that offers very little mercy to people who struggle where everyone can see.
We lost nearly 200 people to overdose in this country yesterday. We'll lose nearly 200 more today. About 1,300 a week. Almost 6,000 a month. Roughly 70,000 last year. Every one of them was somebody's Presley.
He started Mental Health Mondays because, in his words, "the goal was to spark real conversations about the stuff most people hide."
So don't hide. Ask for help. Keep asking. And if you've asked before and it didn't take, ask again.
You are not alone.

Dennoriss Richardson, a Black man was found hanging in Alabama. Authorities claim he died by suicide but his family suspects police lynched him as retaliation for filing a civil rights lawsuit against officers 💔
Obama on recursive self improvement and the risks associated with it. When he talks about the urgency for us all to have a say in how this technology evolves and how it is overseen, this is part of the reason why:
“The models are going to get smarter and smarter and better and better at a much faster pace, at an exponential pace.
What are the risks of that? There’s the big science fiction risk, wow, these models get smarter than us, and they decide humans are fine, but not necessary. They start setting their own goals, and the killer robots kill us, or we bow down to them.
I do not want to exaggerate that particular risk, but I will say there is a non-zero risk of non-zero chance of that happening, but that’s not actually the risk that I’m most concerned about, although it’s the risk that gets most attention.
And the reason that’s a risk is not because the computer models are conscious, necessarily. It doesn’t mean that they are necessarily feel malice towards humans. It’s just that if they start setting their own agendas, you may get a misalignment between what they want to do and what we want them to do, and that gap can be dangerous. That’s problem number one.
The more serious problem is these models are getting powerful enough that if they get in the hands of bad humans, they can do bad things. They can be weaponized in certain ways. They can do a lot of mischief.”
