My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

I finally finished Moby Dick!! It took me years off and on but it was worth it

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

Somehow I don’t think the man pathologically unable to walk anything back was the right guy to keep us out of another nihilistic conflict

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Ever seen a twerking bee who looks like she just took a bath in a bowl of cheese puffs? Probably the superpollinator that is the leafcutter bee! Whereas honeybees pack moistened pollen into dense balls on their legs, leafcutters store it loosely across their fuzzy bellies. That means…

grateful for my local veggie box more than ever, but regardless of origin I’m putting all produce in the oven and keeping fingers crossed we didn’t catch anything before I knew better. Arugula you’re getting baked

Going to keep repeating - I do not think this administration is capable of successfully negotiating peace with Iran.

White House is preparing for what could become a multi-day or even multi-week exchange of fire with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz.

As much as 40 percent of longform posts on LinkedIn and X that users actually see are fully AI-generated, according to new research Particularly notable because we know these platforms are flooded with slop, but this studied what the algorithm actually shows people www.404media.co/linkedin-and...

People keep saying character doesn't matter, only policy. In our scam economy/scam polity, nothing matters more than character. Everyone is constantly telling us what we want to hear. We need to be able to trust that they will do what they say.
