Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterday

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

I feel like renaming it to "GNU Image Manipulator" would solve a few problems but also introduce a fun one in the form of "do you pronounce it as 'jim'"

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

Ashley Brouillette told the Portland Press Herald in a phone interview Thursday afternoon that her ex-husband called admitting to the shooting and defending his actions. The Press Herald reviewed a screenshot of incoming calls Ashley Brouillette received from her ex-husband’s current wife’s Facebook account on Wednesday. “He was asking me to lie for him and to cover for his character,” Ashley Brouillette said. “I told him that I was not going to lie for him. And then he tried to say that it was a justified shooting because the guy tried to hit him with his car.” She said she has seen videos of Brouillette on the scene of the shooting and confirmed that was him on scene, telling him: “nowhere in there does it show that this man charged at you with a car.” “In his head it’s justified. He’s unusually calm about it,” she said.Ashley Brouillette told a reporter that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about his mental health. She said he was abusive in their relationship. She said that she’s been inundated with calls, since reports of Brouillette’s involvement began circulating online, threatening her and her family.

The American Diabetes Association appears not to have learned their lesson the first time around (below). Now they've blocked publication of an editorial about this event that was slated for publication in the same journal, Diabetes Care, this week. But here it is. You know what to do.

From 500 views in the first two months to over 100,000 views in the last few days. The ADA opinion piece that was too scary to be distributed at the ADA meeting has gone full Streisand. Y'all are doing the Lord's work.

Looks like I'm gonna be quitting my postdoc at the end of the calendar year, if not sooner, so it's *shameless self-promotion time*. Please reach out if you know of any openings, either postdoc or private sector, that would be a good fit for someone with my background. DMs are open.

The thing to understand about Starbucks' diminishing presence in Seattle is that Starbucks is no longer trying to be the best coffee company, they're trying (and by revenue, succeeding) to be the best fast-food company, and Seattle is a coffee shop town, not a fast-food town.

Moving to permanent daylight saving time would end in tears — my own if nobody else's. Everybody hates clock time changes, but there's no consensus on the fix. www.cnet.com/news/politic... In the 1970s the US adopted then dumped permanent daylight saving time. www.nytimes.com/1974/10/01/a...

Permanent Daylight Saving Time? Why It's a Bad Idea

I managed to get TechRepublic to print my “maybe we should adopt Swatch Internet Time” editorial, despite my (wonderful) editor at the time stating, when it was published, that I was not to submit something like that again. It’s probably still in my top 3 best worst ideas.

no one wants to consider my insane pitch which is to eliminate timezones across the planet so we’re all on the exact same time and force everyone to change their conception of what a day is
