Lifeboats To Be Removed From Cruise Ships Because They Remind People Of Titanic Sinking

NEW: 4 former chemical lobbyists control America’s pesticide regulations, letting pesticide companies pump the country full of toxins. For every 1 meeting with an environmental group, the EPA met 25x with corporate interests. We revealed the corporate lobby poisoning America:

@DaveOCKOP A lot of words to say “we should’ve beaten both.”

Arne Slot: "As much as I dislike us losing here today, Brighton away has always been a difficult one and will always be a difficult one as long as they keep bringing in so many good players. But there are other games where we should have picked up more points, like last week against Tottenham. That is far more unacceptable than this. But even away at Brighton, a club like Liverpool should be able to get a result." (TNT)

The FDA did a very unusual thing this week: It included photos from a recent unannounced inspection of an Indian drug manufacturer in its Warning Letter to the company - the first time I believe it's ever done so. Would you believe this is from a drug manufacturer?

NOBODY IS TELLING YOU HOW FUCKED THE FARMERS ARE IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW. NOBODY IS TELLING YOU HOW FUCKED THE FARMERS ARE IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW. The Agriculture Secretary just confirmed it publicly. 1 in 4 American farmers has NO fertilizer secured for spring planting. No fertilizer. No crops. No food. Farm bankruptcies are up 46% in 2025. 160,000 farms closed since 2017. Less than half of all farmers will even turn a profit this year. They're not struggling. They're being wiped out. And the media is busy covering everything else.

When you fuck up so bad you have to pause the sanctions on the country you started a war with.

Harvard researchers had 12 people read on an iPad for 4 hours before bed. For 5 nights straight. Then they measured what happened to their brain chemistry. Here's what screens before bed are really doing to your body:

@LocasaleLab Proud to be blocked for pointing out this trash, which after numerous objections, is still gleefully posted on his page.

I don’t know Eric Topol personally and have no insight into what he is like in person. What I do know is his public persona. He built a very large social media following in areas around the science of nutrition and health that I’ve been immersed in over the years. In those domains, much of the content struck me as highly superficial and almost entirely reliant on treating Cell, Nature, and Science publications as proxies for breakthrough. The underlying studies were not interrogated in a serious way. Instead, they were amplified, uncritically, to a broader audience. In that sense, he functioned less as scientific discussion and more as an extension of the journal and institutional press cycle. I did not see meaningful skepticism, nuance, or alternative interpretation, even when the underlying studies were far more uncertain than presented. He also blocked me on X, so I don’t get the sense there is much interest in engaging in substantive discussion. My earlier comment in reference to the public advertisement highlighting his involvement with a Boston biotech VC firm is not about him or that firm individually. It reflects a broader systemic issue. The same dynamics—hype, lack of criticism, and reinforcement of groupthink—are deeply embedded in that ecosystem.

President Trump today: 3:43 PM ET: "I don't want to do a ceasefire with Iran." 5:13 PM ET: The US is "considering winding down" the war with Iran. What changed over those 90 minutes?
