They disarmed him.

They shot him in the back while he was on his knees.

They shot him five more times.

One of them was clapping.

@courierjournal You realize that headline means the crews fell from the cliff, right?

This, for me, is the defining Lindsey Graham statement

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

As I wrote a year ago, watch the actions of the Trump admin through the eyes of someone who has watched democracy turn into autocracy. Centralizing election authority, expanding federalized troops and putting them in the streets, cracking down on the press. It's not original.

The Atlantic’s new cover story on the decline of reading features a Harvard student who complained that he had to read a book written in "Old English."

Now, you might be thinking that he was assigned Beowulf or The Canterbury Tales.

Nope.

This student was assigned A Clockwork Orange—and used ChatGPT to “translate” it.

A Clockwork Orange was written in 1962 (not 1692, which is still modern English, by the way). This student’s grandparents were alive in the 60s. Is he also using a translation bot to speak to them?

Yes, I had an easier time than most people with the novel's Nadsat slang because I speak Russian, but you catch on very quickly if you turn on more than two brain cells—and the entire point is to compel you to inhabit Alex’s deranged mind, which is cool!

For the first time in my life, I feel bad for Alex from A Clockwork Orange for being so misunderstood.

Possibly the dumbest, most depressing argument in the history of the internet.

[Adam Levenberg @StarterScript]

@pensandpoison For me, legibility and clarity comes first. If students are saying "we can't follow what's happening" it doesn't mean the book shouldn't be taught. It means the old way of teaching it by having them read it first, then breaking it apart with education, is antiquated.

[Henry Hoenig @word_cruncher]

@StarterScript @pensandpoison Legibility?

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Terrific field reporting in Myanmar by ⁦@hkbeech on ⁩ one the world’s longest and most forgotten civil wars. This is how conflict needs to be covered and helps build a case for peace. The New York Times https://t.co/lY8flMqYDj

Nobody can afford the necessities of life in America & yet American politics & the media discourse is about literally everything other than this.

The disconnect between voters’ lived reality & the topics central in our politics/media is unprecedented in this country’s history.

We need a comprehensive agenda to destroy the fortunes of Musk and entire tech oligarchy. We must make adoption of that platform litmus test for 2028 Dem nomination. We can’t stop authoritarianism w/out breaking the oligarchy and we need a concrete policy agenda to accomplish it.

Amazing: KPMG wrote a report describing the successful use of AI by businesses. But the case studies turned out to be AI hallucinations.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

BREAKING: ABC News Just Published Some Pretty Stunning ICE Data.

The administration says it is targeting the "worst of the worst."

But according to ABC's analysis of government data, only 3% of the more than 400,000 people detained by ICE between January 2025 and March 2026 had a violent felony conviction in the United States.

ABC reports that ICE apprehended more than 4,800 U.S. citizens and deported over 2,000 of them during the first eight months of 2025.

@TrustlessState They hate us cuz we're free, amirite?

[Henry Hoenig @word_cruncher]

Right?! I mean, they just don't understand. And it's not like extreme wealth inequality ever had any negative consequences for society or anything. Name one time!

[David Hoffman @TrustlessState]

This is so embarrassing

They just don’t understand capitalism, or believe that net-new wealth can be created through innovation and hard work
