60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi warns that @bariweiss is turning them into “a stenographer for the state”

This is how you do a front page story.

Photojournalist from Gaza:

This is from ⁦@cbschicago⁩ reporter ⁦@asalrezaeitv⁩ this morning who was simply doing her job. It comes one day after journalist Steve Held was detained and then released.

Mad shit

The entire State Dept office of multilateral nuclear affairs was dismissed last week, Alexandra Bell tells @CFR_org. “These were people responsible for efforts to ban explosive nuclear testing, the production of weapons grade material, people working on nuclear disarmament verification, experts that simply cannot be replaced.”

You are spending too much time with an LLM if this joke hits the spot!

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA for reporting on the Columbia student protests. My story here @NewYorker newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal. And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.

One would hope that the DOE could differentiate between broader energy needs and the grid. 21% of utility power came from renewables in 2023, fossil fuels accounted for 60%.

"One of the highest tariff rates, 50 percent, was imposed on the African nation of Lesotho, whose average citizen earns less than $5 a day. Because Lesotho’s citizens are too poor to afford most U.S. exports, while the U.S. imports $237 million in diamonds and other goods from the small landlocked nation, we have reserved close to our highest-possible tariff rate for one of the world’s poorest countries. The notion that taxing Lesotho gemstones is necessary for the U.S. to add steel jobs in Ohio is so absurd that I briefly lost consciousness in the middle of writing this sentence." theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

In the latest issue of the mag, DCD became the first publication to be on the Moon. So cool! datacenterdynamics.com/en/ne…

Wow! This is just from one lab. The ROI on government grants is astronomical, especially when you consider that most of the value to society from basic science goes way beyond stock market valuations. Defunding one America's greatest successes is insanely bad policy.

This would be a tragedy
