the horror of what ICE is doing feels like it is really really really breaking through to people, and it's opening up big overdue conversations on other topics (that prisons have always been this inhumane, that Homeland Security has always been this racist) if we wanted to wedge those cracks open

It's nuts that Democrats are still acting so cowed about immigration when public opinion on it seems quite malleable and there's blowback now to right wing anti-immigrant politics in practice. You can win on this issue, you barely even have to try
• 30% of Americans want immigration decreased, down from 55% a year ago • Record-high 79% consider immigration good for the country • Support down for border wall, mass deportation

$1,500/month to live in a Singapore hotel with the most unfuckable greedheads imaginable: an exciting opportunity to experience true freedom (with Singaporean characteristics)
Srinivasan himself has started a “Network School” on an artificial island near Singapore, where techno-optimists can work their day jobs remotely while living in a hotel together and learning how to “bootstrap”, or build, a new society. Membership and accommodation, which he dubs “society-as-a-service”, starts at $1,500 a month.

Tarantino can have whatever opinions on actors he wants I guess but the collection of words "on an episode of the Bret Easton Ellis podcast, Tarantino said" is going to give me nightmares forever

www.vulture.com/article/matt...
And then he came for cult classic actors. In addition to insulting Paul Dano this week on a podcast, Quentin Tarantino also shared his distaste for beloved horror actor Matthew Lillard. On an episode of The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, Tarantino said he didn’t “care for” Lillard and Owen Wilson as actors, seemingly throwing in the Five Nights at Freddy’s star’s name in for no reason.

Your organization should probably consider changing its name, Ryan!

After receiving a zero grade, out of a possible score of 25, on her essay, Ms. Fulnecky contacted Ryan Walters, a conservative educator and chief executive of the *Teacher Freedom Alliance*, according to a spokeswoman for the alliance, a group that works to limit the influence of teachers’ unions. “Samantha Fulnecky is an American hero,” Mr. Walters, who recently stepped down as the Oklahoma state superintendent of schools, said in a statement. He argued that any university employees who were involved in her bad grade should be fired.

Every time I reread my great-grandmother's memoir I can't help but wonder: Was Hilda her girlfriend?
On December 9, 1975, Bill left us. We would have celebrated our 56th anniversary on December 31st. A day without Bill seemed impossible - how to go on. Surrounded by loved ones and family helped. It was their loss too. Their concern and love gave me courage to face each day. It would take time. It is said that a door never shuts, but another one opens. Across the hall from me in the Plaza lives Hilda Howell, a resident from Downington, Pennsylvania. She didn't say anything, for she knew. She had lost her Ted. Her friendship since Bill's death has been a sustaining one. I needed her understanding and warmth. We have laughed and cried together, taken study courses, played bridge, and have taken many trips.

Someone needs to be censured over that acronym
As part of the "Legislative Solutions to Protect Children and Teens Online," members of the House subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade will also consider the Shielding Children's Retinas from Egregious Exposure on the Net (SCREEN) Act (H.R. 1623), which would create a federal age verification for adult websites, and the App Store Accountability Act (H.R. 3149), which would require app stores to verify the ages of everyone who uses them.

This is so heartbreaking. Required viewing for anyone who has ever referred to service providers as part of the "homeless industrial complex." There *is* an exploitation engine, but it is, as usual, mostly about private equity.

For Weiss, the decline of the American media is best exemplified by the rise of Nick Fuentes (a Nazi), Andrew Tate (a virulent misogynist), and Hasan Piker (a leftist streamer who pushes universal health care while playing video games).

This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

I’m taking Cate Blanchett: Talented Mr. Ripley, LOTR, Life Aquatic, Black Bag, Tár, Ponyo, Hot Fuzz, Eyes Wide Shut, Thor

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

This is so fucking goofy. The context of being used in an extremely pilloriable article about Louis C.K. makes it goofier, but I get the sense after poking around a bit that writers for the New Yorker deliberately avoid using words that could summon the umlaut.
Keen-eyed grammar fans may notice some changes in our pages—and in this newsletter. Last fall, David Remnick, the editor, suggested convening a group to talk about the magazine’s house style, to see if any rules might bear reëxamination. The group—comprising copy editors, current and former, and editors—met this past January and came up with a list of styles that might qualify for changes, and in a subsequent meeting the following month the director of copy and production and I came up with a limited list of proposals. It was decided that, while no one wanted to change some of the long-standing “quirky” styles (teen-ager, per cent, etc.), some of newer vintage could go. Along with a few other changes, “in-box” is now “inbox,” “Web site” is now “website,” “Internet” is now “internet,” and “cell phone” is now “cellphone” (though everyone acknowledges that the word “cell” in this context will soon disappear altogether). "reëxamination" is highlighted A screenshot of a 1950s headline in the New Yorker. Under an illuminated heading that says "The Theatre," the headline reads, "Reënter Mr. Dickens" Annals of Education What Happens After A.I. Destroys College Writing? The demise of the English paper will end a long intellectual tradition, but it’s also an opportunity to reëxamine the purpose of higher education. By Hua Hsu June 30, 2025 Annals of Science Do Proteins Hold the Key to the Past? New methods are allowing a group of scientists to reëxamine the world’s libraries and archives, in search of the hidden lives of authors. By Sam Knight November 19, 2018

Have you ever seen a bike lane sweeper - pulled behind a bike?

Volunteers in Kirkland have a new tool that attaches to the back of an e-bike. It's good for protected bike lanes, sidewalks, and narrow trails.

No amount of hard work and dedication can make the helicopter go faster. The helicopter's speed is finite.

www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...
“The evidence is becoming increasingly clear,” said state Rep. David Gomberg, a Democrat whose district includes Newport. “Somebody is considering basing a large detainment facility at the airport where the Coast Guard used to be.” The Trump administration has not confirmed plans for ICE in Newport or any other federal agency. In a statement, a Homeland Security spokesperson called the suggestion that potential Coast Guard rescue operations have been slowed by the helicopter’s move “an insult to the hard, heroic work the men and women of the Coast Guard put in every day.”
