“One day, a woman wrote to me on Signal, asking me not to respond. She lived alone, she messaged, and planned to die that weekend. Before she did, she wanted at least one person to understand: Trump had unraveled the government, and with it, her life.” @hannahnatanson.bsky.social essay:
I am The Post’s ‘federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal.
One reporter’s effort to show how Trump was transforming government brought her 1,168 new sources — and nearly broke her.

It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs!
It's mostly just the US that's being left behind

One of the many things that makes modern life so enjoyable is the knowledge that if you order one item from a website you get to receive an email every couple of days from the website for the rest of your life. The only thing that could be better is a lifetime of spam texts from political campaigns.

One of these days, I'd like one intrepid reporter to ask Adam Silver about the ads on the floors of games. It makes modern NBA games look like shit, and it's so unnecessary. There are 7 billion Emirates ads during the course of a game already, we don't need them on the court too.

Indiana ends a 30-game losing streak to Ohio State to win their first Big 10 title since 1967. They’re the only undefeated team left in the FBS. Incredible. Curt Cignetti continues to impress. They’ll lock up the 1 seed.
