Apple's statement is the death knell for the idea that it's possible to scan everyone's comms AND preserve privacy. Apple has many of the best cryptographers + software eng on earth + infinite $. If they can't, no one can. (They can't. No one can.) wired.com/story/apple-csam-s…

Millions of emails intended for US military - including highly sensitive info - have been misdirected to Mali instead, due to people typing .ml in address instead of .mil. This, despite repeated warnings for a decade to double-check address before sending ft.com/content/ab62af67-ed2a…

A fake Bloomberg account with a Verified Blue Check on Twitter posted an apparently AI-generated picture of an explosion at the Pentagon this morning. There was no explosion at the Pentagon, but the stock market still dipped. insider.com/ai-generated-hoa…

Orcas have sunk 3 boats in Europe and appear to be teaching others to do the same. Scientists think a traumatized orca initiated the assault on boats after a "critical moment of agony" and that the behavior is spreading among the population. livescience.com/animals/orca…

The way Republicans in Montana are treating Zooey is the way so many people treat trans people in the United States. If nothing else, I hope this is a wake up call to all cis allies.

We have lost one of the greatest cartoonists of all time. Al Jaffee, passed away at the age of 102. An absolute legend, who contributed to Mad Magazine for 65 years. Arguably his biggest contribution were the fold ins at the end of each issue. This one always stuck with me.

Imagine being evicted at the age of 91 from your assisted living home because they suddenly won’t accept your government assistance. This is the future for most of us alive today.

2) It’s actually worse than that chart made out, because at most points on the income distribution, Americans earn much more than Brits. If we plot the same data by actual income instead of percentile, the US deficit is vast. 5 fewer years even among the comfortably-off.

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/re… And some utterly damning charts. 1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

In 2022, I lost to Lauren Boebert by only 546 votes. It was the closest race in the entire country. Now, I’m running again, but I need grassroots donors like you to give now: Please, will you chip in $10 or more right now to my campaign and help me defeat Lauren Boebert?

Breaking: MTG tweet calls for keeping guns away from men, claims testosterone causes gun violence
How much hormones like testosterone and medications for mental illness was the transgender Nashville school shooter taking? Everyone can stop blaming guns now.

This. Google just quietly re-started its work on Maven, creating "AI" drone targeting+surveillance tech for the US military after protest killed the contract 5 years ago. I've heard crickets in response, even as the millionth "sorry GPT isn't a person" oped floats across my TL.
