It's hard to tell the difference between Kash Patel defending himself and Kash Patel inadvertently confirming the allegations.

If Mississippi flips and Texas doesn’t I won’t lie it would be incredibly funny. Tate reeves only won the governors mansion by 3 points in 2023…

A particularly evil week for ICE flights in Africa. Since Tuesday, ICE has deported people to Algeria, Ethiopia and Kenya, plus two possible third-country removal trips to Ghana, and one confirmed third-country removal trip of 15 Latin American nationals to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I am fairly confident the oil markets were manipulated today again. Drive prices low then buy…. Iran stating that Straits remain closed.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

The fact that people in New York have just been putting bags of trash on the curb is absolutely wild to me as a Chicagoan.

If I wanted to party and drink I simply wouldn’t become the director of the FBI

"The advance of capitalist production develops a working class which by education, tradition and habit looks upon the requirements of that mode of production as self-evident natural laws." Marx, Capital I, Part VIII, Ch. 28

Looking forward to reading this!

West Papua Drones for ‘security’. Villages as targets. Modern warfare meets colonial muscle memory. Silence does the rest.

So many of us are now textual Case Pollards, physically averse to pre-digested, mass extruded machine verbiage just as William Gibson's Pattern Recognition protagonist was made physically sick by fashion and brands.

We do not have to live like this in NYC. We expect that @mayor.nyc.gov will deliver on his campaign promises re: NYC public libraries. We know that he understands the importance of this.

NYT does this habitually. Back in 2016? 2020? they interviewed a "rural PA undecided voter" who turned out to be the GOP County Chair, who NYT had interviewed twice previously. Many such cases.

best part of reading some excellent books is wanting to go improve what you’re writing as soon as possible

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

I think this overstates science's capacity to self-correct. Eugenics didn't fall out of favor because science proved its theories were false. What really did it in was the Nazi death camps and the Nuremberg trials. It primarily became unacceptable thanks to politics more than anything else.

This is absolutely the intent--faculty need to be united in rejecting this kind of automation (more accurately: abdication), no matter how "safe" you think your position might be now.

No disabled person trying to access fertility treatment could ever labour under the apprehension that eugenics isn’t alive and well in modern medicine

Terrific reporting on the Delta video (and normal, appropriate crediting) from @jbendery.bsky.social here. Interestingly, she says she asked Delta in February about it and they didn’t respond. It really was @ottergoose.net getting the video that made the difference. www.huffpost.com/entry/delta-...

An important first step based upon recent intellectual leg-work that has established not only Harriet Taylor Mill's inspiration for On Liberty, but also her actual authorship of parts of the text. 1/2

A lot of people on here don’t seem to understand that the role of art is often to raise questions, not to give clear answers. When Bruno Mars sings “what good is beauty if a booty can’t find a beat?” that’s for us to work out on our own for the rest of our lives.

NEW: The State Dept. has ordered diplomats in Saudi Arabia to leave. It's the first mandatory ordered departure issued by the agency during the US-Israel war on Iran, and indicates US officials fear more violence. Iranian drones hit the embassy in Riyadh. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...

Iranian journalist reports in front of the flames of a burning Oil depot.

Background on WEXMAC TITUS:

“Anovaeon, based at a residential address in San Antonio, was added in October 2025 to WEXMAC TITUS, a DoD contracting vehicle…originally created to allow rapid contractor deployment in response to international disasters, bypassing the traditional federal bidding process.”

Today, 82 years ago, the SS separated half of the Theresienstadt Family Camp, the BIIb section of Auschwitz Birkenau. Those 3700 people who arrived six months earlier and were still alive from the original 5000 were sent to gas chambers and murdered.

From the WSJ: so far no convictions www.wsj.com/us-news/immi...

IDK who wrote this ill advised POS article but they shouldn't get paid for it because WHAT THE ABSOLUTE EFF IS THIS !!!! I mean, EVANGELICALS ARE EVERYWHERE IN TRUMP WORLD

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

The Authors Guild is now offering "Human Authored" certification marks for literary works in which "the text itself was fully authored by one or more human beings and not generated by AI." What a time to be alive!

I believe every claim of the AI enthusiasts: it does simplify your inbox, Yascha Mounk did use it to write theory papers, you can write 1000 manuscripts for a hundred bucks. But I am a solid month into using the most expensive Claude Code for the most basic tasks and I cannot trust it.

Seven years ago, we published our first piece, a gorgeous essay by @kerileighmerritt.bsky.social. Since then, we've published nearly 400 pieces and paid every single contributor for their work. Thanks to everyone who's donated to, read, and taught with our magazine over the years!

🚨PERFECT: An economist was asked whether the actual economic data backs up Trump’s claim that the U.S. has the best economy in the world. His answer: “he’s lying.” This is amazing. #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy

TIL that hair shaved from the heads of convict women incarcerated at the Parramatta Female Factory in the 19th century was used as a binding agent in the mortar in the building's stonework. Convicts often had to build their own prisons, but the corporeal aspect of this is particularly poignant.

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday. She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

So this will be the last thing by The Narwhal I ever read, at least as long as they persist in theft and climate death.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Our government did bomb Philadelphia and we did forget about it after a couple of Rocky movies. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

h/t to whomever started this. 😆

Looks like some very senior admin officials lied brazenly to journalists. "Trump administration officials told congressional staff in private briefings Sunday that U.S. intelligence did not suggest Iran was preparing to launch a preemptive strike" apnews.com/article/iran...

I can’t believe we’re still having these same conversations. I can’t believe we still have to wonder if you’re laughing at us and degrading us when we’re not in the room. I can’t believe we haven’t burned this fucking place down. 1/5
