Web-browsing bots, rather than humans, account for the bulk of web traffic. Over half of that is from malicious bots, hoovering up personal data. An increasing proportion comes from bots sent by AI companies to gather data for their models or respond to prompts

I wrote about Zohran Mamdani Economic Derangement Syndrome and how a Democratic Socialist won both Wall Street and the "Commie Corridor" in New York City: With a relentless focus on cold, hard cash

I am not super optimistic that the Dem gerontocracy will learn the right lessons from Mamdani’s win but here’s my analysis anyway: newrepublic.com/article/1972...
Mamdani Did All the Things the Establishment Hates. He Won Anyway.
There’s a growing appetite for something new and innovative growing among the electorate—and an opportunity for Democrats to grow that electorate, as well.

Breaker reports that the New York Times editorial board's quasi-endorsement of Andrew Cuomo was written by NYT opinion editorial director David Leonhardt: www.breakermedia.com/p/murdoch-s-...
Rather than leave it there, the Times on Monday ran an editorial declaring, “We are not endorsing a candidate.” But the piece did go on to criticize Mamdani while also seeming to back Cuomo. “Mr. Mamdani would also bring less relevant experience than perhaps any mayor in New York history,’ the scathing piece said. ‘He has never run a government department or private organization of any size. As a state legislator, he has struggled to execute his own agenda.” Breaker has learned that the editorial was written by Editorial Director of Opinion (and a contender to be the next Executive Editor of The Times), David Leonhardt, who while a native New Yorker now lives in D.C (other opinion writers did provide input into the piece).

Have you seen this heatwave? Diabolical. I wrote up some tips on how I stay cool in the heat, including how to keep your armpits clean and fragrant no matter how hot it gets.

Also: amazing lemonade and gazpachos that require only 10 minutes and a blender

My latest: Democrats must stop running sexual harassers like Andrew Cuomo. It's insulting to our intelligence and deeply unsafe for women.

Fascism and tyranny require your permission. Your silence in the face of fascism is permission for the fascists to keep going. After all, if it was bad, you would have said something, right? — @moorehn.bsky.social
Yes, you should protest the ICE raids
A harmful group of pundits and politicians appeared online to tell people to stay out of the streets as the Trump Administration takes away civil rights. Don't listen to them

Sound advice and excellent historical perspective in this piece.

So true: "Fascism does not have to win. It loses all the time."

While Trump administration officials pointed to the charges as justifying their effort to remove Abrego Garcia from the United States, the decision to prosecute prompted the resignation of the chief of the Justice Department’s criminal division in Nashville, people briefed on the matter told CNN.
