Trailblazing trans lawyer fighting Trump named one of the world’s most powerful people

Somewhere between #TimeMagazine and #AppleNews, something has broken and the news feed is flooded with stories from a year ago, dated as if they are from the last few days.

Dunno whose fault this is, but quality control on #Apple software and services seems to continue a deeply disappointing decline.

Excellent hardware alone won’t keep the base happy, Tim…

So #TimeMagazine is celebrating the #DeathOfAmerica with a series of creepy #AI slop videos, to be released over the course of the year. First two are up, and they are... ugh.

AI can't really render videos longer than ~8 seconds, so enjoy the camera cuts!

Fuck off.

What the U.S.’ Withdrawal from the WHO Means for Public Health – TIME

Jan 22, 2026 11:08 AM PT

The U.S. Has Pulled Out of the WHO. Here’s What That Means for Public Health

• Health
• Public Health

by Alice Park, Senior Correspondent

The U.S. was one of the first countries to join the World Health Organization (WHO) when it was created in 1948 as part of the United Nations. But on Jan. 22, 2026, it officially withdrew from the global health group.

The U.S. has historically been the largest funder to the WHO, through both its assessed and voluntary contributions, so the departure is poised to disrupt both global and domestic health. “This is one of the most penny-wise and billion-dollar-foolish moves,” says Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

Here’s what to know.

Is the U.S. officially out of the WHO?

The WHO’s charter does not contain a clause allowing member states to withdraw. But in agreeing to join decades ago, the U.S. Congress included an option to leave the organization as long as the U.S. gave a year’s notice and met its financial obligations by paying its dues in full.

The first condition appears to have been met: A year ago, President Donald Trump gave notice that the U.S. would withdraw. But the U.S. has not paid its outstanding dues—including from the final year of the Biden Administration.

The WHO’s principal legal officer Steven Solomon said during a press briefing on Jan. 13 that the matter will be discussed by the organization’s executive board, which is scheduled to meet in February, and those talks could extend to the General Assembly that meets in May. “We look forward to member states discussing this,” he said. “Because these questions of withdrawal—questions of the conditions, the promise, and agreement reached between the U.S. and World Health Assembly [of the WHO]—these are issues reserved for member states, and not issues WHO staff can decide.”

Will the U.S. be prevented from working with the WHO?

Dr. Tedros Ghebreysus, WHO Director-General, has said he is open to accepting the U.S. back as a member and hopes it will reconsider the decision to withdraw.

“WHO has signaled—very intentionally, I think—that they want to continue to work with the U.S.,” says Dr. Judd Walson, chair of international health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “The flag of the United States continues to fly outside the WHO building [in Geneva], and that’s not a mistake. It’s a very intentional signal that they welcome us to re-engage.”

Osterholm says researchers will likely continue to stay in touch with their global-health colleagues, but on an individual level that lacks the coordination and clout of federal-level participation. The yearly update of the flu vaccine is a good example. “The flu world has always been very close globally,” he says. “I am quite convinced that there will be unofficial information-sharing among this group. The question is, at what point does that information have to be official in order for companies to take action deciding which vaccine strains they are going to use?”

Walson sits on a few WHO committees and says he asked his colleagues there whether the U.S. decision changed his ability to participate. “They said absolutely not—that as a U.S. citizen, I still have the capacity to participate in the workings of the WHO. And there are scientists and technical experts engaging to continue to maintain our access [to the WHO] at the individual level. Clearly we have lost the coordination of all of these activities, but we will still have some engagement.”

Solomon echoed that intention. “While there is an open question when and how withdrawal happens, there is not an open question about what the constitution says about WHO’s overall mission. The constitution sets out the objective for the organization, of health for all people, wherever they live and without discrimination.”

What will change now that the U.S. is no longer a member of the WHO?

One of the first things that could change for U.S. scientists is their access to databases that are important for monitoring infectious diseases like influenza, as well as emerging threats that could affect the health of Americans, such as COVID. While many of these data sources are public, and U.S. scientists will continue to access them, they might not have as much insight into how the raw data were collected and processed, says Walson. That could be important for understanding how to interpret the information and for getting a head start on potentially dangerous outbreaks of new infectious diseases.

AI Is Moving Past Chatbots. Claude Cowork Shows What’s Next – TIME

AI Is Moving Beyond Chatbots. Claude Cowork Shows What Comes Next

• Tech
• AI

by Nikita Ostrovsky

The DNA file had been gathering dust in Pietro Schirano’s computer for years. Then, earlier this month, he gave it to Claude Code—an “agentic coding tool” developed by Anthropic—for analysis. “I’m attaching my raw DNA file from Ancestry DNA,” he told the tool.

The AI spawned copies of itself on Schirano’s computer, each one simulating an expert in a different part of the genome—one expert on cardiovascular disease, another on aging, a third on autoimmune disease. “There were a lot of things that resonated with my life,” says Schirano, who was an engineer at Anthropic prior to founding MagicPath, an AI product design startup. “I always thought that I could deal with caffeine better than all of my friends. It was always this inside joke: I can just drink seven espressos because I’m Italian.” Claude Code’s analysis revealed that Schirano does, in fact, have a gene that allows him to metabolize caffeine better than the average person, that he’s predisposed to Alzheimer’s, and suggested supplements to take based on his genetic profile.

Claude Code, released in February 2025, was Anthropic’s first successful attempt at building an AI agent—a system that takes actions on the user’s behalf, rather than merely conversing in a chat interface. Claude Code can access files and programs on a user’s computer, and even run “sub-agents” for specific tasks, such as those that analyzed different parts of Schirano’s genome. It has steadily accrued a devoted following of tinkerers using it to file their taxes, design knitting patterns, and even autonomously grow a tomato plant.

Yet most people have never heard of Claude Code. That’s because the primary way of accessing the tool is through a command line interface—the old-school computer terminal that went out of fashion among the general public some time in the last millennium. That obscurity might be about to change. On Monday, Anthropic announced Claude Cowork, which the company calls “Claude Code for the rest of your work.” 

“It’s gonna blow a lot of people’s minds who are not coders,” says Martin DeVido, the developer behind the experiment using Claude Code to grow a tomato plant.

Claude Cowork aims to bring Claude Code’s agentic capabilities to a broader audience by supplying it with a friendlier user interface and hiding some of the complexity that has made Claude Code daunting to the uninitiated. The tool, initially available as a research preview for customers paying $100 a month for the Max plan, has “rough edges,” according to Felix Reiseberg, its lead engineer. One user found that the app gave her “scary error messages” and wouldn’t connect to her calendar.

Thank you #PopularInformation

The American Oligarchy 😡🤬😡

“America is increasingly controlled by an oligarchy. A handful of people hold an extraordinary amount of wealth and power, and they are eager for more.

Billionaires have targeted the news industry as a cheap way to expand their influence.

Currently, billionaires own The #WashingtonPost, The #LATimes, The #WallStreetJournal, #CBSNews, The Baltimore Sun, #FoxNews, The #NewYorkPost, #TimeMagazine, #Sinclair Broadcasting, and many others.”

Congratulations, folks, you're TIME's Person of the Year — and so are we, and so's our wife. For @TheAtlantic, Charlie Warzel writes about the selection of "The architects of AI" as Person of the Year, why this is all of us, and how the battles over copyright, attribution and ethics are just beginning. "Odds are, you have not personally developed a large language model at a large technology company," he writes. "And yet, the odds are also decent that morsels from your life have been used to train chatbots."

Time Magazine Falls for Satire News Site Article

Time Magazine published an article quoting The Beaverton as a source. The problem is that The Beaverton is a satire news site.

The fact that such a comment was immediately considered genuine speaks volumes about the current state of Canada-US relations, and the Trump administration more broadly.

I love this #BruceSpringsteen interview in #TimeMagazine. Particularly the following quotes:

• Springsteen has spent decades exploring the gulf between the American Dream and the American reality
• “you’ve got to hold two contradictory thoughts at once: that you can feel betrayed by your country and still love it.”

There's lot to unpack in the article, about the upcoming movie, his relationship with his father, and basically being a rock icon for over half a century and still going. It's well worth a read if you want to understand why I love him so much after being introduced by @bright_helpings
