this seems bad. but don't worry! the head of the ADL is carefully monitoring the instagram comments of one B-list celebrity for derogratory references to another B-list celebrity
Jonathan Greenblatt tweet about Elizabeth Banks' instagram comments, for some reason

The Senate’s failure to advance the CLARITY Act is a step in the right direction, and a clear sign that crypto special interests can’t simply buy their way to a legislative win. 🧵
Senate Votes to Block Crypto Bill in Major Blow to the Industry
The landmark legislation, known as the Clarity Act, stalled in the Senate as Democrats raised concerns about President Trump’s personal investments in crypto.

Ed Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine:

“I am not complicit. […] Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have [my own opinions], and it doesn't mean I don't care.”
• I am appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The suffering and pain caused on both sides is a human tragedy. There are too many wars across the world causing immeasurable pain, none of which should be tolerated. • Macklemore asked to join my tour last year and I agreed, because I respect him as an artist. • As with all my support acts, I agree that they play a setlist of their choosing. • After Macklemore's performances at my New Jersey shows, venues on my upcoming tour dates communicated that they would pull the shows if he was still supporting. I was informed that this stance was based on how Macklemore conveyed part of his message during his performance, rather than on everything that was said. I spoke with the venues at length all week to try and build a bridge. One of those people was Robert Kraft. I was also involved in direct talks with promoters along with activists on both sides to try and find a mutual resolution for all, but the venue's and promoter's decision was final. • Macklemore coming off tour was the promoter's decision, it was not mine. Macklemore's contract for the tour was with the promoter, not me. • I would never let down the fans who had made plans, nor would I abandon the touring crew and the other support acts and musicians who rely on me for work and to make a living. • I have always used my platform and music to bring people from all backgrounds and cultures together and this won't ever change. Those who have been to one of my shows will know that they are about unity, joy, escapism, love, and a place for everyone to feel welcome. • I am not complicit. I have my personal views on this devastating conflict. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have them, and it doesn't mean I don't care. Nor does it mean I don't support causes in my own, personal way.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

Remember, when Ds propose things like student loan forgiveness or anti-price gouging enforcement for groceries, news media shouts in unison "how are you going to do that??" When Trump makes a nakedly bullshit promise—after promising the same thing before & not doing it—they shrug & say "hey, maybe!"

these are all just lies. this isn’t going to happen. congress isn’t going to allocate it. republicans are not going to hold both the house and the senate. treating this as even a hypothetical possibility grants legitimacy to the illegitimate.
Lutnick says Trump’s $5,000 checks for Americans wouldn’t rely on taxpayer funds
A top White House official suggested Congress would use a budget process to fund them. Vice President JD Vance had said tariff revenues.

COVID PSA: We now have PEP.

Ensitrelvir (Xocova) can be taken after a known COVID exposure to reduce the risk of developing COVID.

Preventing the infection in the first place also means preventing its potential downstream consequences, including Long COVID.

This man objected to my warning that apocalyptic "AI extinction" talk is corporate ploy for regulatory capture, marketing, and side stepping accountability. He said he left DeepMind, like the Anthropic "whistleblower."

So lets have a brief history lesson about DeepMind's origins in doomer cults🧵
Alex Turner @Turn_Trout False 1. I literally quit my Google DeepMind job & lost >>$300k to call out harms regarding autonomous weapons... and extinction risk is still more important, which is why I'm speaking out + working to solve it 2. GDM does NOT want to stoke fears about extinction risks lol

It’s 25 years later, and 9/11 survivors and victims’ families still seek accountability, with millions of records remaining classified.

Our own government’s secrecy continues to obstruct justice and hide the full truth.
