Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

You really do have to be willing to be part of making the thing that you say other people must make or do. That's just basic at this point. [feel free to rage about this on your own timeline not in my mentions]

Sad to see this go; it's hard out there for indie publishers and writers. TIL there's a Farmers' Almanac and an "Old" Farmers' Almanac—the one that is likely most familiar to us. I'm gonna need someone to write the miniseries about this rivalry.

Temu Kristi Noem was back at it this week www.patreon.com/posts/dingus...

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

This is a massive amount of work to track all of these attacks on medical research funding. Bravo to the @unbreaking.org team for pulling this together.

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

We love to see it!

This webcomic is so good!! Back it buy it read it.

Boy, you don't realie how often you use the letter z until it starts sticking on your keyboard.

Super critical. Also an important time to remind people that primary care docs and other community health workers in many states can provide utility shutoff protection letters if you have a qualifying medical condition, an infant <12 months old, or are 65+

This show!!!! It's so good.

We have a new timeline up today on our Food Safety page, documenting how individual events continue to chip away at the personnel, regulations, and oversight mechanisms that make up our food safety systems: unbreaking.org/issues/food-...

Dark times don’t destroy hope; they reveal who’s been carrying it all along.

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

For my newsletter about fun words and phrases, I do a feature lovingly titled "Asshole Bird of the Month." Why? Because my love for birds is in no small part because they are ungovernable, and I think that's fun to read about. So send me any funny birb stories you find (ahem) in the wild! #birds

"there is another, even more insidious way freedom can die for large parts of society: when the state is unable or unwilling to constrain predatory private powers . . . and the officials and politicians who go into business with them." Huh. Sounds vaguely familiar.

And this week in “absurd authoritarianism remains both authoritarian and absurd,” the comedian arrested while wearing a giraffe onesie and singing “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” to ICE officers in Portland has been released: www.wbur.org/news/2025/10...

Unbreaking is essential reading to keep up with what this administration is breaking, in the hope that one day we might rebuild it.

In Immigration this week, we saw more ICE raids around the country, expansions of immigration enforcement—often under the guise of crime reduction—in blue cities, and great reporting on the assembly of an unaccountable national police force. Our briefing is up: unbreaking.org/blog/this-we...

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

I see protest discourse is hitting the feed again ahead of No Kings—idk man, go, don’t go, …but if you do go make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing and if you don’t go, make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

The clear story in Immigration this week is the escalation of—and pushback against—the Trump administration’s militarized raids and warrantless stops in Democrat-run major cities. We’ve updated our timeline with a lot of events in this zone: unbreaking.org/issues/immig...

Part of today's to-do list, presented without context.

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

My family has been mispronouncing axolotl this whole time. We stand corrected!

At a major "anti-hate" conference a few years ago I was on a panel where I lightly suggested big tech companies were faking their concerns about hate/misinfo. It didn't go over too well. But let the record show that once again I was right. They only care about money. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
