These are called “concentration camps”

The witchy references in “Everybody Scream,” Florence and the Machine’s sixth album, feel particularly well suited to an album that charts the sacrifices that Florence Welch has made to have her work taken seriously, Grace Byron writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/E2vRoL

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

A number of viral infections, including flu, Covid-19 and shingles, are linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, a new study affirmed.

hell yes two failures coming together for possibly the biggest flop ever, they’re makinf this just for me to laugh at i’m so thankful

A small government-funded program has reduced the sea lamprey population in the Great Lakes by more than 90 per cent, saving the region’s $6 billion fishing industry. Now the program is at risk.

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

My comments with @thetimes.com www.thetimes.com/us/news-toda...

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill. Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

I see the intolerant echo-chamber media elite as a net positive for public health because without them some people would have to throw themselves in front of a bus to slake their lust for victimhood

Hundreds of people have been doxxed, fired or threatened for social media posts that were seen as callous or celebratory after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. In a Texas town, people flooded online feeds with attacks that spilled into the real world for a paramedic. nyti.ms/4n7CSND

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

In an unusual acknowledgement, the Trump administration said that its immigration crackdown is hurting farmers and risking higher food prices for Americans by cutting off agriculture’s labor supply.

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

if you've ever found value in the work of any anti-fascist writer or researcher today, you owe something to Leonard Zeskind. he was absolutely foundational.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Incarcerated people have long talked about a “blue wall of silence” in prisons: an unspoken agreement among correction officers to cover up for one another’s abuses. A report filed after the murder of Robert Brooks exemplifies this phenomenon.

"I’m a huge fan of PlayStation’s first-party offerings... But where in the past this brand of glossy storytelling felt like new ground being trodden, I can’t help but feel that recently it's become the well-worn road." bit.ly/46WOLA6

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

Burger King abandoned its 'Creepy King' mascot, the one with the uncanny valley face and bizarre commercials, because it was too scary for families with young children who would end up at McDonald’s instead. bit.ly/4h2xppV

“Enshittification” was a term coined by Cory Doctorow, in 2022, to describe how the technologies that dominated our daily lives seemed to be all getting worse at the same time. Now, in a new book, he expands on the word that has become bleakly relevant.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Hey world... Are you ready for October 1st? That is the day In The Mouth of Madness by Sutter Cane is FINALLY released. Get your copy from your favorite book seller as ebook, paperback or hardcover.... DO YOU READ SUTTER CANE? You should l. #horrormovies #horror #horrorcommunity #johncarpenter

really interesting to me that pete hegseth — who incidentally was accused of domestic abuse — is obsessed with war crimes

Their place in history is "settled," just not how Hegseth wants it to be. Wounded Knee was not a "battle." It was a massacre, enthusiastically conducted by US Army soldiers and officers. This is the equivalent of honoring those responsible for the war crimes at My Lai.

Re-upping for today's PM crowd: among other things, a suggestion (demand, maybe?) that we actually model the critical thinking we want to foster in our students.

the cultural crisis is straightforward: there are no longer any formal consequences for blatantly anti-social behavior, and the rest of us are constantly just getting lectured that we have to put up with these assholes making our lives worse

My latest column for the Chronicle of Higher Ed is now live. It's an argument for including AI-critical voices in campus conversations and policymaking workgroups, and I'm proud to get this dissenting piece into the mainstream genAI/higher ed discourse. Please read and share if you're so inclined 🙂

Writing about this right now. We've had five-plus years of educators being ousted by MAGA. Can we go back and restore those folks' careers, safety, and peace of mind?

RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

“I see monsters, ugly faces all day.” The neurological condition prosopometamorphopsia makes faces appear grotesque. What can it teach us about the workings of the brain?

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

... ... ... ... yes, Marc. I can imagine people on the right like Kirk doing it. Because they absolutely did.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

The @washingtonpost.com has changed its slogan again, from “Democracy Dies In Darkness” to “Know Your Place.”

one of the most interesting facts about russ vought’s life, to me, is that NIH research is the reason his daughter had access to life changing drug to treat her cystic fibrosis. vought, of course, is the architect of the administration’s war on science. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

as noted in the @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode on his book, TCW has no theory of mind for the right and does not regard them as individual actors with agency. the right is merely a reactive force responding at all times to progressive excess

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

oh my god

like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane
