I’d love to see the actual details of AI costs and return on investment now and conservative projections into the future in Academia and healthcare organizations. Inclusive of environmental impact and energy costs Quite the bubble I’d hazard

AI companies currently subsidize their users $3 to $25 for every dollar of subscription. As a result, users are very sensitive to *any* price or rate limit changes, and have no idea what their actual token burn is. Token-based billing will be lethal at scale. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-what...

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

The ‘No Kings’ rallies on March 28 are expected to draw millions nationwide. Third Act co-founder Bill McKibben says the mass gatherings empower Americans. “It matters in the biggest possible way…The craziness of this moment is what’s driving people.” www.ms.now/ali-velshi/w...

Since Trump took office last year, parents of more than 11,000 children—who are US citizens—have been detained or deported by ICE. This inhumane policy gives parents little or no time to make arrangements and brutally traumatizes kids.

Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids

A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

Still figuring out what’s next. But I will say: To any candidate who wants help setting up a new style of campaign, who needs advice on integrating mutual aid in their operations, who has questions about any weird, fun, unconventional part of our race, I would love to talk. Let me know.

Still a lot more to do to secure access to necessary medical care for transgender care and the rights of hospitals / clinicians to provide it, but this is a great start 👏👏👏 www.oregonlive.com/health/2026/...

The establishment is in full panic mode. When they can’t debate ideas, they have to manufacture doubt.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Dear Grant/Manuscript #Reviewers, Thank you for your tireless, poorly compensated/uncompensated work. We appreciate you. We value your feedback (yes, even when it hurts). It would really help us if you could be clear and specific in your feedback so we know how to improve our work. Thanks!

Finding your voice as a writer is one of the hardest "easy" things you'll ever have to do. If you're having trouble, you'll find it in the spaces between all the times you are TRYING to have a voice. Your voice is really just the you that spills out on the page when you're not thinking about it.
