This absolutely brutal take on Sam Altman from a former employee: “person of low integrity who had directly lied to employees” fits well with keachhagey’s recent WSJ analysis of why Altman was fired. Quote drawn from important Lessig 🇺🇦 lawsuit, summarized in this long thread.

For the record, any 8th grade English teacher would give Trump an F on his grammar assignment. We're literally led by an idiot who has a lower grasp on our language than grade schoolers.

Los Angeles right now: renovations left half-finished. Framers and landscapers abandoning job sites. Public transit ridership down 15% after immigration raids. Thousands forced into hiding. If it looks like fascism and sounds like fascism, that’s because it probably is.

It really is stunning that there's a near-total media blackout on an entire US bombing campaign in Africa. It's not a classified secret that the US is routinely bombing Somalia, it's just almost never mentioned by the American press.

Shocking to read of state of #NZ orange roughy fishery: “stock driven to the brink of collapse by overfishing, the loss of key spawning grounds through heavy trawling on seamounts, & the wholesale destruction of ancient coral ecosystems.” Close it now! 🐟 newsroom.co.nz/2025/07/08/stu…

Instead of protecting Great Barrier Reef by stopping new fossil fuel projects, Australian Labor lobbied UNESCO not to list it as in danger. Now, instead of protecting Murujuga they’re back lobbying UNESCO to ignore Woodside’s acid gas emissions.

It pains me to say this & I don’t do so lightly, as the son of a Holocaust survivor, as someone who has lectured on genocide prevention at Auschwitz, where my mom lost dozens of her family, but Israel is behaving like Nazis. This is not self-defence, this is not to protect Jews,

Ebright: “The USAID $210 million contract for PREDICT should have included contractual terms that required all samples, or at least copies of all samples, be transferred to and stored by a US government facility,” “The PREDICT grift did none of this.” dailycaller.com/2025/07/08/exc…
