USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Trump guys on Twitter are using Grok to “hunt” daycares in their nearest city to see if there are kids in them and, if there are, if they’re Somali.

The Crusades were a make-work program for second sons who were so hated that the most lauded and revered person in Christendom to ever come out of them was literally Saladin
The funniest part is that the whole point of funding the crusades was to send your potential sources of domestic political instability (loud, violent lunatics) off on a mission where, worst case scenario, they were out of your hair for several years or, best case scenario, they died.
Far-right groups are co-opting the aesthetics of the Crusades for their own objectives, transforming an obsession with feudal justice into a campaign for a White Christian nation.

The absolute disconnect of a class of rich political commentators from the reality of America should be studied.
Ezra Klein who has been famously wrong about nearly everything over the last 5 years does not deserve a years salary for a talk.

Immigrant-hating Stephen Miller talks about Americans being "first to harness the atom." But the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was conducted by a team led by Italian immigrant Enrico Fermi, who didn't become a U.S. citizen until a year and a half later.

“You guys, Hitler wants to see Poland succeed”
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

I miss the days before covid, when in New York, in Times Square or a crowded subway, you would sometimes see people wearing masks and think, "Why are they wearing those? Oh, right--it's none of my fucking business." Let's get back to that.

I tell students that one of the crudest mistakes made in public policy is to overlook the fact that people will react to changes in ways that you might not have taken into account. And in retrospect it can look oh so predictable which makes it even more embarrassing.
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

How can someone who says that a stone cold racist and trans-exterminationist Charlie Kirk “did politics the right way” have the nerve to tell us why “we” are polarized? The gall.

Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

If you knew nothing about Lenny Bruce when you watched Lenny, you might think, "Why did they make a movie about this really unfunny comedian?" Hoffman is a great actor but he's so miscast. This is the only Bob Fosse movie I don't like (yes, I'm saying Star 80 is better).
Delightfully bonkers that someone decided these two movies would make a good "comedian double feature."
