““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Last night some neighbours set up a projector and screen in the street. a big bunch of kids sang along to Kpop Demon Hunters and let me tell you it was A Good Time 🌙

you cannot be out here arguing with the whole userbase even if you hate them and think you’re 100% in the right you cannot do this

100 hours is about half a game of Terra Invicta, which is like if Crusader Kings covered the entire solar system. I'm on my third game

Things my children cried about last night: - missing the ice cream truck - their bike not having stabilisers - cycling uphill being hard - a dispute over the TV - my objection to being called a weirdo

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Wiltshire’s got Stonehenge and we’re still behind Cornwall? wtf? is Swindon so mundane that it’s bringing the average down?

all the right people are mad about this (gift link)

This is exactly how Democrats should frame it. "If the GOP wants to pass this monstrous spending bill they can go right ahead, but we absolutely refuse to be a part of it until Trump and the GOP agree to some basic human decency."

My kid has to see a psychiatrist and an endocrinologist every 3 months in order to be himself. The process to start took more than a year. These people are forcing cosmetic changes on their kids, and I'd bet money there's no consent involved. But sure, trans kids are being "mutilated."

don’t care about your astronomers, your weather men, your calendar makers, the real first day of autumn is when I can comfortably wear jeans, i.e. TODAY 🍁🍂

I’d like one newspaper to try out the headline “Republicans fail to attract Democratic votes they need to end shutdown” as a little treat.

A better world is possible

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

when I worked in an independent bookstore, the owner told me the most stolen book was one about getting your first period and if I saw anyone walking out with it, I should just let them go.

This passage nearly broke me.

Werner Herzog voice: “I’ve seen movies, short films, completely created by artificial intelligence. Story, acting, everything. They look completely dead. They are stories, but they have no soul…They are empty and soulless.”

I'm not gonna share the AI "Walmart was cool in 2002" video, so instead as a person who worked at several Walmarts between 1998-2011 I'm gonna share stories of what it was actually like back then. A man with a 32 oz Budweiser in his pocket tried to tickle me several times & we had to call the cops.

One Battle After Another is my favourite film of the year so far. Up there with PTA's best. Caustic in its satire of Trumpism. Sean Penn utterly grotesque, like Mike Flynn on literal steroids. Teyana Taylor is jaw dropping. Benicio del Toro wonderfully lovable.

Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner are buying EA. esportswashing?

Such a Hanna-Barbera style change of direction from Glasner

Lots of excellent reporting and writing in the NYT today. Will post some, but I’m out of gift links. First, and most importantly, the great Nikole Hannah-Jones on the lived experience of Black and queer people in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...

Trump's Portland 'war' zone is really one driveway in front of an ICE facility that has been the site of violent frederal overreation for months: share.google/bhVYxRssA5qj...

NEW: Neon, an app that pays you to record your calls so your audio can be used to train AI, and already rose to the top #5 free apps on Apple's App Store, has gone offline after a security lapse. We found the app exposed users' phone numbers, call recordings, and text transcripts of those calls.

1. A new The 19th/SurveyMonkey Poll finds that a majority of Americans are against trans youth care bans. This includes a majority of Independent voters, casting doubt on the narrative that Democrats need to pull back on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Go subscribe to David's channel. This will be worth your time, he's one of the tech journalists who goes beyond the "CEO said X in interview" style of reporting.

it's going to be like when we got rid of smoking in restaurants and on airplanes and within a matter of maybe a year everybody was like "we allowed WHAT?"

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Never forget that Norman Rockwell, debatably the most famous American artist to ever put brush to canvas, was not afraid to show the ugliness along with the good. Having his work/reputation sanitized and trimmed into marketable nostalgia is about American as it gets.

🚨 <deep breath> So I'm becoming a podcaster/YouTuber! The show's called Tech Gets Real and its all about staying in control in the AI era. This is for regular people - no jargon; short episodes - so please share with anyone who could benefit! Episode 1 is all about how honest we should be with AIs:

Similar phenomenon with ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, which is actually a pretty terrible Journalism Movie, in that it (a) makes our job look WAY more glamorous than it is, and (b) depicts a VERY rare kind of reporting story... BUT it inspired countless great, legitimate journalists to enter the field!
