The New York Times writes far more stories about the trans community than any other US print outlet, and is the least likely to quote a trans person when it does. Seems bad?

This might be the most insane story about the US EPA that you’ll read.

How the Trump Administration Ended Independent Science at E.P.A.

The agency’s prestigious research office spent decades doing scientific work insulated from political pressure. Now it’s being dismantled.

The New York Times

It sounds like the suspected WHCD "shooter," while armed, never fired a single shot and obviously never got close to Trump or anyone else. The only shooters appear to be the Secret Service, with one case of friendly fire and every other shot missing the suspect.

The DOJ appears very keen to obfuscate this, though.

Is the Justice Department lying about Saturday's "shooting"?

A central point of the government's case doesn't add up.

Doomsday Scenario

Brian Tracey died of pneumonia while being held at a Florida jail.

The jail’s healthcare provider is affiliated with Armor Health companies, which have a history of delaying or denying care to inmates across the country, lawsuits allege.

He Died in a Florida Jail. The Company in Charge Should Have Sent Him to the Hospital, Experts Say.

Most of the state’s jails have stopped contracting with Armor Health companies, which have been sued repeatedly for subpar care. Only one jail, where Brian Tracey died, still uses a company affiliated with Armor.

To put it another way, are you okay if The New York Times only interviewed white people 80% of the time when they covered Black people? This is intentional and systematic. If you don't want trans people to suffer, the two lowest hanging fruits you can do right now is to quit Substack and NYT

The horror! The horror!

How billionaires, one in particular, are destroying the night sky and astronomy.

This is a pic of Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS), trapped in a celestial cage of light streaks formed by LEO satellites racing across the sky in this 10-minute exposure image.

This is with ~10,000 orbiting satellites. Now, imagine a million of them, each with a solar array ~10x larger.
