The BMA’s [British Medical Association’s] new VSED (Voluntary Stop Eating and Drinking) guidance is not a British story. Canada ran this experiment years ago, and we already know how it ends. Every time one of these documents lands, the same thing happens. A medical body publishes something careful and administrative, the language is so smooth you could skate on it, and the people who object are told they’ve misread it. Nobody is being killed. Nobody is being pushed. This is only guidance, only clarification, only doctors being given the information they need to care for their patients well. I have...

Daily Readings from the USCCBMemorial of Saints Cornelius, Pope, and Cyprian, Bishop, MartyrsJesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.’” Luke 7:31–32The simile Jesus uses in this teaching—“We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep”—portrays a generation that is spiritually unresponsive and resistant...

Last month I wrote about how we can build a positive and safe future for everyone: meta.com/thefutureisfor… Every lab has the responsibility and incentive to move at the pace required to train its models safely, and the ability to take its own actions to ensure that happens. The reality is: - People won't want to use agents that are misaligned with them and that don't do what they ask, so labs have a strong natural incentive to make their models more aligned. There is a lot of debate about slowing progress on capabilities until alignment catches up. My view is...

The grip of Iran-allied Houthi rebels on the narrow sea passage between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, a vital route on the shortest maritime link between Asia and Europe, has sparked fears of rising oil prices and shipping costs. Between pipeline attacks and control over the Bab al-Mandab Strait, Iran's allies have begun targeting new infrastructure critical to global trade just as the pressure from the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf had started to ease. In just a few days, Yemen's Houthi rebels seized the coastal city of Mokha and several islands in the Red...

A new poll suggests Medicare for All could benefit Republicans in some of the country's most competitive House races, especially as progressive Democrats increasingly embrace the idea. The survey, conducted by Republican polling firm FabrizioWard on behalf of Seniors Matter for America, found that voters in battleground congressional districts would favor a Republican candidate by a 50 percent to 38 percent margin if the Democratic candidate supported replacing existing health coverage with a government-run system. The poll surveyed 1,000 likely voters across 37 House districts rated Toss Up, Lean Republican, or Lean Democrat by the Cook Political Report between August...

The brother of the now-notorious holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy's murder mistrial is speaking out, revealing why he believes his sibling voted the mom criminally responsible for killing her three children. "I don't think religion had anything to do with it," the anonymous juror's brother told the New York Post on Tuesday, September 15, disputing online claims that Catholicism impacted the holdout juror's decision. (The holdout male juror has decided to withhold his identity from the public following the high-profile case's controversial mistrial ruling.) "[He] looked at the case, and he made the call," the brother continued. "For me, that's...
