This Wallet-Sized E-Reader Is My Tech 'Upgrade of the Year'
E-readers continue to be my first line of defense in my war against technological distraction, and the super small Xteink X4 may be my greatest weapon yet.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

Trump’s Immigration Nightmare: It Is Happening Here
With astonishing speed, the administration has toppled the most cherished pillars of a free society. And the experts agree: It’s all going to get much, much worse.

Watched An Unmarried Woman (1978) last night. It has aged remarkably well—a clear influence on Sex and the City, tactile '70s NYC vibes, a truly lived-in performance from Jill Clayburgh (who never got the career she deserved; blame Diane Keaton). Can't believe a man wrote it!
A ★★★★½ review of An Unmarried Woman (1978)
What if Sex and the City had an absolutely insane Bill Conti score? (Kelly Bishop is such an Samantha)

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

when some people choose between a weekly injection or daily pill to regulate their hormones so as to align their body with their desired appearance i guess it's no big deal
U.S. regulators on Monday gave the green light to a pill version of the blockbuster weight-loss drug Wegovy, the first daily oral medication to treat obesity. n.pr/4pNYnVN

Only disappointing part here is that traffic dropped just 11%. Imagine wanting to drive into Manhattan!
Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

…I feel like this should be kind of a huge deal? Am I totally off-base here?
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Just within the past hour, nearly a dozen YouTube accounts have posted the pulled 60 Minutes CECOT story. CBS and Google can keep trying to take them all down, but it's sort of pointless now.

The greatest lifesaving innovations in all of human history are being tossed out by a guy with a worm-eaten brain
BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

I just want to state for the record that I never found the Coldplay couple video the slightest bit interesting
It was a perfect viral moment, a 5 second video snippet that appeared to tell an entire story. Then the country got way, way, way too invested.

It makes me so sad that my kids will never know what number to dial when they want a cartoon man to install their new carpet and give them a Wilson Michael Jordan basketball
The rise of streaming services killed the good commercial jingle. Sports are keeping this industry alive. We don’t talk about this enough.
