7 abortion providers are ready to switch to misoprostol-only medication abortions if a judge bans the main abortion pill, mifepristone, nationwide. That ruling could happen as soon as this Friday.

Pretty much everything that Team "you're overreacting" insisted would never happen after Dobbs is, in fact, happening. It's almost as if they were not arguing in good faith this whole time.

I wrote an article about the history of Apple Daily, its rise as a media powerhouse in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and its downfall.

During nearly 26 years, Apple Daily and its founder Jimmy Lai were at the forefront of Hong Kong's struggle for democracy. Lai was a very controversial figure, and his career reflects many of the contradictions of our era.

I thought it was worth looking back and telling the story of this very unusual media outlet.

Given all the excitement of tech CEOs and investors about _artificial_ intelligence, it's gonna be wild when they find out you can fund _real_ intelligence by paying taxes that go towards schools and teacher salaries

Is the tectonic activity on Venus to harsh to preserve fossils? I mean supposing there were ever anything to fossilize?

What if it's just packed with fossils from a lost experiment of life? It would be fitting given the trouble it would take to study such things.

What if... some future mission looking for minerals finds a great mysterious stone shadow of the bones or integument of some lost race of creatures. #ideas
