@StillDanLehrer @jasonintrator I still think on how crazily Lord of the Flies things got back in summer. Not every day I watch masses of people spontaneously pile in and call a descendant of Holocaust survivors a Nazi. I suppose if nothing else, it was good for my education to see just how fast that happens ☮️

What’s happening in Quebec is likely happening in other provs as well. Prov. Govts don’t want the public to know. BC, as of today, has instated the Health Professions & Occupations Act, effectively banning HCWers from speaking out - threatening licenses, fines, even jail time.👇

Ford is closing Northern Ontario ERs by underfunding & understaffing them. He wouldn't do it in his own riding in Toronto or where his cottage is.

Update from Maya's father: Yesterday was a big day for us. We transitioned out of the ICU into a more recovery and rehab-focused unit, and it’s now been 26 hours since Maya’s EVD was removed for the second time. So far, everything is looking positive. She doesn’t seem to be in as much pain, and we’re starting to see a little more energy and color come back. She’s still not a fan of the boot for the pressure sore on her heel doing her best to kick it off whenever she can but her movements are becoming much more intentional. Our time in the PICU, for lack of a better word, has been a whirlwind filled with both highs and lows for Maya, but slowly we're making some more progress. And then came a moment today that completely overwhelmed me. OT and Physio came in, and with their help, Maya was able to sit up on the edge of the bed. This was huge for two reasons. First, she was using her own muscles to help support herself (with assistance), and second… I was finally able to wrap my arms around my daughter. Really wrap my arms around her and hold her tight. I can’t even begin to put into words what that hug felt like. All I wanted in that moment was to lift her up, hold her close, and never let go. We’re getting there, Dads little Maya Bear 🐻 I love you so much ❤️

One last message before the launch of Artemis II...

Someone just caught Artemis from their flight. Cool view of little piece of history!

Maybe it is time to once again remind everybody that running a global reserve currency necessitates that you have a lot of wealthy ALLIES willing to hold your Treasury bonds and your currency. If you piss off your allies they will not in the long run hold on to these assets and you will have to pay a lot more to fund your enormous public debt.

CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA YOU HIT THE JACKPOT 🙄🚨

Looking back, I realize we didn’t just survive that day—we carried it with us. My biggest regret isn't what happened; it’s that we didn't talk to anyone about it afterwards. Trauma doesn't care how old you are. It stays in the shadows until you bring it into the light. Therapy isn't just for 'problems'; it’s for healing the things you didn't even know were broken. #MentalHealth #Healing #whatnowpodcast

The Governor of St Helena, Nigel Phillips, has confirmed Jonathan Tortoise is alive and well - he has just checked on him. This post is false and the real Joe Hollins does not have an X account.

In February, Judge Rakoff ruled in United States v. Heppner that 31 documents from a defendant's Claude convos were not protected under attorney-client privilege. The defendant used consumer Claude to research legal strategy on his own, then shared the outputs with his lawyers. The court said none of it was protected.

The epidemic of vibe lawyering is going to cause some problems. A friend recently typed the details of an employment dispute, including things he did in violation of his non-compete, into ChatGPT and asked it to draft a separation agreement. He did not talk to a lawyer first. He created a discoverable record of his own liability that lives on a third party's servers. He is very much not the only one. I wrote about why this is a real problem, and what a federal court just confirmed about it.

The official Sesame Street account has tweeted out a loving Passover post that features Kippi ben Kippod, an Israeli-exclusive muppet on the show. It doesn't seem like a lot, but for the boys and girls who have watched their very existence become "controversial," it means a lot. And maybe, if I'm being honest, it's just as heartwarming to adults like me.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

A king in his throne

“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.” - - A Most Wanted Man, John le Carré

Israeli missiles struck and destroyed a major pharmaceutical factory in Tehran on Tuesday, raising hard questions about the limits of "dual use" targeting, and what's left of Iran's medical supply chain after years of sanctions that made it nearly impossible for foreign pharma companies to operate in the country, forcing the majority of medicine production, much of it life-saving drugs, to be done domestically. our latest: nytimes.com/2026/03/31/wor…
