Jake Lahut, a Wired reporter who from the Nancy Mace airport story last week, was among those fired. During the incident, CN's HR chief asked staff not to congregate outside his office. Lahut asked "what's your definition of congregating?" and was let go later on Wednesday.

I’m late to this, but whoa.

I think the case of an APU-bound consumer market is actually pretty compelling for AMD. For one thing it avoids the cost inflation that often keeps Nvidia’s GPUs out of the hands of consumers. Best of all, it makes the machines more console-like. gizmodo.com/amd-ai-max-p...

The dramatic repudiation of Trump this week wrecks a number of absurd narratives the media has pushed lately. In the runup to the election, NYT pieces kept telling us Dems were overly obsessed with attacking Trump. That dumb idea now lies in ruins. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Damn, when I read Neal Katyal was arguing the case I thought back to his appearance on Everybody's Live. Turns out Mulaney wanted to make that connection explicit.

McDonald’s says sales among low-income customers plunged nearly double digits last quarter — another sign the Big Mac economy isn’t built for everyone. f-st.co/2318cmr

So basically like the internet, except we let a company make it instead of academia and the military

The nice thing about the Supreme Court trashing on Trump’s tariffs plan today is that it made Peter Navarro look stupid.

Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin have this amazing ability to find unusual middle aged men and turn them into the funniest people ever for one scene. Chair Company is a delight.

The fact that he thinks his only option for ending this game of chicken is pulling in the filibuster is a good sign that he’s probably going to bend soon. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Man, who knew John Rocker had racist thoughts about New York City?

She totally buried the lede in this wonderful clip, which is that Aaron Paul is using an iPhone he literally dug out of a swamp, which is on brand for a Breaking Bad star.

Lina Khan sighting on the transition website!

They are soooooo mad. (They also blame TikTok.)

We’re on the Unfuck Stage of Trump’s Abuse of Power.

It's like Ezra Klein wrote this (he didn't) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

Land shouldn't have more voting rights than people

Mamdani was voted for by more people in this one election than voted for Kristi Noem in all of her elections combined (SD state rep two terms, US rep three terms, and two terms as SD governor)

Just checked the VA house race. As many as 64 seats could go Dems. Wow.

Just brilliant messaging top to bottom

Man, what an evening. Everything seems to be coming up blue

Whoa, that’s like mandate territory

It’s still early so the gap will presumably close, but she’s up like 2:1 right now.

Not even close! www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Dick Cheney Henry Kissingered his way through the Rumsfeldian gates

It’s what the founders would have wanted

Just voted. This is the busiest I've ever seen this voting precinct in the decade I've been voting here.

This is worse than the worst thing ever attributed to any “Bernie Bro”. The Democratic leader literally refusing to say WHETHER HE VOTED FOR THE DEMOCRAT.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

The roller coaster of this five-paragraph ride: Court: You have to pay SNAP benefits Trump: We’re not paying SNAP benefits White House: You heard the man White House press secretary, soon after: We’re complying with the order www.cnbc.com/2025/11/04/s...

If you’re wondering: has People magazine’s coverage of Trump’s second presidency been pissing him off, per our sources: yes, the literal president has noticed and he’s not pleased, particularly the framing and repeated coverage of his health.

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,

Your concern about David Ellison breaking the Daily Show can go away, at least until 2027. www.nbcnews.com/business/med...

One awkward turn of phrase is not enough evidence to accuse a writer of being AI.

This is cool as hell for someone of Jesse Eisenberg’s stature to do. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...

“Robots are people too” should go over well on here. People do cool projects with Common Crawl—that laundry room search engine I wrote about a couple of months ago relied on it—but the comments in this article are kinda hard to defend.

I think they call this move “The Olivia Wilde”
