Being a member of the media and not knowing what an ICE whistle is in these times is an issue.
I'm thankful for my ICE whistle.

Personally, I think it's a bad thing when people in the government post AI images without disclosing that they're AI.

Image on the left is something RFK Jr. posted today. Image on the right is a photo from 2024.

The amount of coughing and sneezing on this PACKED train to the burbs is insane.

Maybe running trains more than every 2 hours on a holiday is a good idea so we're not packed in like sardines during cold season.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

We've been told Republicans are very close to abandoning Trump for the last decade.
Jeffries: These reports that Republicans are going to follow Marjorie Taylor Greene to the exit, these are all consistent with some of the things that we’re hearing in the House of Representatives when we’re on the floor.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

"Person in pajama pants confronting federal immigration agents" seems to be a developing trend.

The photo below appears to have been taken during an incident that took place today in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Tech companies will crash the economy and get huge bailouts.

I hope I am wrong. The rush to get AI integrated into every part of our lives is not being done in good faith.

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.
