In the 1970s, a Bay Area couple started a business: Charge people for chats with professional conversationalists (and bottomless tea and coffee). It was panned at the time, but it feels prescient today.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October. She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE. “They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:

NEW from me: Sean Parker’s latest venture is an AI character app called Cantina. To promote Cantina, he’s hiring an army of teens and paying them up to $5,000 a month to flood TikTok with AI hamster and Dobby slop—and maybe violating FTC guidelines along the way.
