Seems the Russian FSB had taken up in this Crimean seaside hotel called Passage/Пасаж and used it as a command center. Video below shows Ukrainian drones blowing to smithereens. Zelenskyy claims around 100 casualties.

I’ve written about one of my favorite shows in a very long time - it’s somehow Martha Cooper’s first retrospective in NYC, and I can’t think of a better way to showcase the work of this legendary woman whose images of NYC in the 70s, 80s, of kids creating their own worlds, helped ignite a global street art movement.

The nite ended with a cover of Neil Young’s “Revolution Blues” and the last verse invocation of Manson so I sure felt like the Belle of the ball

Do you think dogs would have domesticated from wolves if they knew that thousands of years later, it would end with them being subjected to Bark in the Park during a 12-game losing streak at Citi Field?

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people.

OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?

A thread on some of of our findings:

Passengers on a commercial flight captured the launch of Artemis II on camera

The plane happened to pass near the launch trajectory at the exact moment of liftoff, giving passengers a rare view of the rocket launch right from their windows.

A radical history of the Mets insists that baseball can still be the people’s game. https://t.co/bY3yNBBNTP

Been thinking a lot about jazz and baseball today. Wanted to share that a lot of the big bandleaders would buy their musicians uniforms/equipment and formed an unofficial league to play each other. Apparently Duke Ellington kept a guy on the tour bus who was just there to pitch.

The most important Oscar speech tonight wasn’t about film.

The director of “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” just said this from the stage:

“You lose your country through countless small acts of complicity. When we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets. When oligarchs take over the media and control how we produce and consume it. We all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think.”

He was talking about Russia.

The audience knew he was talking about America too.
Elon Musk owns the platform you’re reading this on.

David Ellison is buying CNN — Pete Hegseth said it will be “far better” when he does.

The DOGE deposition videos were removed from YouTube.

The Epstein files are sealed.
The Pentagon won’t release a casualty count.
Countless small acts of complicity.

That’s how you lose it.
A nobody is more powerful than you think.

Never stop connecting the dots.

@UMass 👍 - preservation and access is essential!

[Jeff Melnick @melnickjeffrey1]

Really important piece, though a bit too pessimistic I think. There has been amazing work done--at UMass Boston and elsewhere, to collect and digitize this archive.

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

My new essay - about the wonderful documentary Drop Dead City and why watching it feels like looking at the reels of your own home movies - the films of the 70s. For @AWFJ

Your phone isn’t personal. It’s a data sensor with a camera.

In 2026, privacy isn’t a feature. It’s a fight.

If you haven’t audited your device, you’re not the user. You’re the product.

Here’s the 18-step Ghost Protocol to take your phone back.

A man (Sergi Lopez) searches for his missing daughter in Oliver Laxe's devastating @neon film, #Sirat. He falls in with nomadic Europeans ravers somewhere in southern Morocco and finds chaos. And compassion. Breathtaking. Yael Friedman (@idapost) reviews: https://t.co/P8Alv05ye5
