Remember this when prohibitionists talk non-stop about the dangers of youth consumption of cannabis. Legalization is clearly leading to a fall in teenage consumption.
👀👀👀 A new federal study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that teen marijuana use has hit an all-time low as more states legalize cannabis for adults. marijuanamoment.net/teen-mar…

Every sentient journalist here knows these are the sources of "news" in Gaza, and have been since the Hamas takeover 19 years ago. This is obviously a major story, but Western editors can't cover it honestly because they've all played ball and are thus implicated themselves.
So it turns out that Hamas runs a WhatsApp group with all of Gaza’s journalists, where Hamas “managed the discourse and the narrative.” These outlets have "journalists" in Gaza: Reuters, AP, NYT, CNN, Wapo, PBS, NPR, BBC, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, and Drop Site News

I loved @patrick_oshag's interview of Michael Moritz because it felt so honest. I think a lot of investors and ambitious people in business would do well to listen to those on the other side of their careers reflect back on their life. This was excellent: colossus.com/episode/the-out…

Michael Moritz on the importance of storytelling in business.
My conversation with Michael Moritz, one of the great venture investors of the last 40 years. Michael joined Sequoia in 1986 and co-led the firm with Doug Leone (@dougleone) from 1995 to 2012. His investments include Google, Yahoo, PayPal, and Stripe. His new book, Ausländer, traces his parents' escape from Nazi Germany and helps explain his lifelong interest in what shapes exceptional people. We discuss: - The infamous Steve Jobs profile - Why Don Valentine hired him - The question he finds most revealing when interviewing people - Monomania and the cost of greatness - Why he has never felt good at anything - Writing, journalism and AI - What he learned about himself writing Ausländer I'd recommend watching this one if you can. Michael was incredibly thoughtful and reflective throughout, particularly when talking about his parents, childhood, and the more difficult parts of his personal story. Enjoy!

This whole thread is excellent.
Every news story follows a predictable decay function- it peaks, then is soon forgotten. That is, every story except one: Israel. I analyzed 14.7 million news articles in 65 languages, cable news airtime, and social media data from X. The results were staggering. 🧵

In 2024 the world published over 2x as many stories about Israel as about all 48 countries of sub-Saharan Africa combined — 1.3 billion people. Per conflict death in 2022, it discussed Israel ~10,000x more than Ethiopia’s Tigray war, the deadliest war of the decade.

In 2024, 1 of every 26 articles on Earth was about Israel.
Replying to @immutbl
In 9 of the last 10 years, Israel was the focus of more global media stories per capita than any other country, by far. 10M people — #95 in the world by population — but #6 in absolute volume of coverage over the decade. In 2024, 1 of every 26 articles on Earth was about Israel.

In roughly 20 of the hoophouses, investigators noted “cans of fumigant pesticide ‘Real-Kill Indoor Fogger’” placed about several feet apart, Musuda wrote. Outside the hoophouses, investigators found “several different bottles of illicit foreign labeled pesticides” as well as “three pesticides unapproved for use on cannabis,” according to Musuda.
