I found this new project that is looking for feedback in the north Idaho area to see if anyone is interested in a new self-directed school. Take the survey if you are interested. https://t.co/aNG1Vok27t

It’s infuriating how liberals (and most leftists!) have completely abdicated on fighting for free speech/self expression. If Hasan was a right wing figure this would (rightly) be plastered all over the news. Democrats and leftists need to wake up and fight against censorship
We got our COVlD map out 3 days early this week on Friday. One of you alerted the local news media in #Idaho, and it was breaking news by Saturday.
Everyone should replicate this approach with local hot spots. 👏👏👏
The one and only Lola Germs is back with an enthralling video about the history of airborne disease transmission. I’ve seen a preview and damn! it’s really is that good. Tune in next week for the première!
My first post in a long-ass time to announce the premiere of my upcoming feature length airborne science history extravaganza!

I see this type of tweet regularly now. My suspicion is that it's emblematic of the fact that many people globally are struggling with the notion that although societal non-pharmaceutical interventions for Covid-19 are long gone, something is still very off.
It's the virus.
I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.
Someone searched for a Munich publishing company on Google. the AI Overview came back with:
"Yes, [company] is known for dubious business practices."
then added a summary. red flags. tips for users to avoid the scam.
confident and structured but was completely made up.
the sources the AI cited said none of that the AI mixed the company up with genuinely shady firms and invented connections that existed nowhere on the internet.
the publishers sent Google a cease-and-desist. Google didn't respond adequately.
so they went to court.
the court's ruling:
AI Overviews are not search results. they are Google's own words. Google rewrote the web "in its own words and according to its own structure." therefore Google is the author. therefore Google is liable.
Google's defense: users know AI makes mistakes and should double-check.
the court's response: that's not how publishing law works.
Google's statement after the ruling: "AI Overviews are designed to reflect information that already exists on the web."
the information that destroyed two companies' reputations did not exist on the web.
the AI wrote it.
Google published it.
a court just decided those are the same thing.
every AI search engine. every chatbot. every platform that takes information and synthesizes it into a confident answer is now looking at this ruling.
When your AI gets it wrong, who pays?

Canada launches a new National Advisory Committee on Preventive Health Services.
It will be chaired by Dr. David Keegan, a leading advocate for masks in healthcare and on airplanes who filed human rights litigation on both fronts.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience (part of @FrontNeurosci). It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇
⚠️ A company called SignalTrace wants to expand license plate readers into cross-device surveillance infrastructure and link phones, AirPods, and smartwatches to your car’s movement.
First they tracked your car.
Now they want to track your "always-on" Bluetooth devices with License Plate Readers too.
When does this madness end?
Scientists at Trump’s EPA say they are being told to make chemical risks “disappear on paper.” Not to study or manage them, but to make them vanish.
When a safety test on a household chemical shows danger, supervisors reportedly ask to keep shrinking the scenario until the poison looks safe.
They have reassigned senior scientists to paperwork and handed life-and-death risk assessments to staff with less experience. They have installed former chemical industry lobbyists to run the very offices that are supposed to regulate the chemical industry.
A gift to industry, paid for with your family’s health.
They are even throwing out research on how certain chemicals hit certain communities harder, calling decades of established science “DEI.”
You can make risk disappear on paper.
The cancer does not disappear.
The birth defects do not disappear.
The infertility does not disappear.
The kids drinking the water and getting sick do not disappear.
The EPA exists to protect people, not to protect the profit margins of the people poisoning them.
Every American deserves to know what is happening. #TrumpMakesUsSick

Still insane that WIRED published a 7k word story championing MAHA pseudoscience grifters, and the main discredited method that the piece claims heals ppl is a program by a faith healer who says he “developed the ability to step into other people’s bodies" to heal them.
PMC Update, June 8, 2026
The CDC reports COVlD levels are "Very Low" across the US. PMC estimates 1 in 300 Americans actively infectious.
BUT there's an outbreak in Central/East Texas. We estimate ≈1 in 30 residents in key counties are infectious.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

I know I've said this many times before on this platform, but the moment I learned anosmia was a symptom of Covid-19 was the moment I decided I was going to do everything possible to avoid getting it. I knew anosmia was an early prodromal symptom of Parkinson's Disease.
Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.
This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
