I just watched the PBS story on Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo’s death this weekend while in “detention” at Delaney Hall. His 12 year-old daughter says she feels dead now, too.

Another life. Another family forever changed. Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo should have gone home to his family. Instead, his family was asked to identify his body. Remember his name. 🕊️ Delaney Hall needs to be shut down. #SheShed

Still image from a video showing a father hugging his smiling young daughter at a celebration. Large text reads: “Another immigrant man dies inside Delaney Hall, his name was Edwin.” The video discusses the death of Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo while in ICE custody at Delaney Hall.

Also for Severe M.E. Awareness Month: If you're a health writer or editor, most of us w/ #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis consider the outdated misnomer "chronic fatigue syndrome" to be a horrible slur. Here's how we did it at WaPo when it was still good: www.washingtonpost.com/health/chron...

Perspective | My hope vs. myalgic encephalomyelitis, a chronic neuroimmuno illness

I’ve managed the past 30 years without my health, but it seems impossible that I would have lasted this long without my optimism for better therapy — or even a cure.

Noise. Pollution. The Ozone Layer. Acid Rain. AIDS treatment. Cancer cures. Crime rates. Child abductions. As much as we consume doom and gloom in our media, humans are very, very good at solving problems when we want to. We just have to want to.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

dorian @doriantaylor.com air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*? like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*? 2:58 PM Aug 4, 2026

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

One of the Spokane wildfires--all of which are still raging--was started by an arsonist who'd already served time for killing his father when he was 21. Good god. www.npr.org/2026/08/04/g...

Arson suspect makes first court appearance as Spokane wildfires rage on

Aaron Farinacci, a 37-year-old convicted felon, is accused of "knowingly and maliciously" causing the Old Trails Fire, the most destructive of the three blazes burning around Spokane, Washington.

Yup. I only found out about this by terrible, terrible accident and every time I see the words OneDrive I wanna yeet my laptop into geosynchronous orbit.

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

Noticing some folks seem to think writers just say clever things without understanding how the world works, as if we're all naifs who just happen to be good with words instead of people with formal educations and a professional interest verging on requirement in the ability to conduct research
