Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.
Whooooooa cool. May need to move “replace the gas stove with induction” up the to-do list.
Sammy Roth@sammyroth.bsky.social · 2w agoInsane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...
Amazing story about how it looks like the Trump administration may have fixed the National Civics Contest for high-school kids to prevent Aangad Singh, “the brown kid in the turban,” from winning.

And as a commenter welcomes, guess who just welcomed Andrew Tate onboard? Yep, Substack.
If you are under the age of 50, then for more than half of your life, the President has been born in 1946.
Pop quiz! Is this (a) an ugly hardware prototype, (b) an actual consumer product that OpenAI plans to sell for hundreds of dollars, or (c) somehow both simultaneously?

Aren’t you fighting like hell to kill a billionaire tax in California?
Governor Gavin Newsom@governor.ca.gov · 3w agoThe imbalance between the rich and the poor has reached a breaking point. The first trillionaire has been minted. Yet 20 states still have a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Something is fundamentally broken here.
@grapefrukt.com Hey, are you aware of a rare intermittent bug in Holedown (iOS) where a block that should fall doesn’t? Or is it worth me writing up an email report? I’ve seen it occasionally for a long time (years I believe) but just lost a game due to it for maybe the first time.
Often these days, the death of a Senator is mostly about their vote. Lindsey Graham's support for Ukraine and intense advocacy for war with Iran means his sudden death could have an impact on policy, too.
My understanding of what is next is that: (1) GOP Governor Henry McMaster will appoint Graham's replacement. (2) Graham's seat was already up for election this year, & he had secured the GOP nomination. This suggests there may have to be a special primary election: law.justia.com/codes/south-...
Senator Graham's office called it a "brief and sudden illness." Now we have NBC News adding EMTs responded to "cardiac arrest." NBC: Emergency personnel responded to a call for “cardiac arrest” at Graham’s Capitol Hill home on Saturday night, according to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News.
Sen. Lindsey Graham dies at 71 after ‘brief and sudden illness’
Graham had just returned from Kyiv, Ukraine, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.
Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”

And here's the story by me and my colleague Jeff Simms. We spoke to folks on the Clearwater as well as the Coast Guard to find out why the sloop, a famous symbol of environmental advocacy, was removed from today's tall ships parade. Their stories do not match up.
