Trump is unconstitutionally freezing federal funds that Congress sent our constituents and dismantling the democratic system. This isn't business as usual—Congress needs to stop it. I will not support any Trump nominee who will do his illegal bidding. I urge my colleagues to join.

One of the things to know about edtech is that many, many people involved in it have no experience teaching, and particularly not at the grade level the intervention is designed to target. They’re tech guys who think tech is Very Hard and teaching is a skill-free avocation for ladies.

Barring the mention of one food (candy corn), this article annoyingly doesn’t tell you what actually has red dye #3 in it. This is basically clickbait for someone (like me), who likes Double Bubble, as a treat.
Red dye No. 3 must be removed from food by mid-January 2027 and excised from ingested drugs the following year after the FDA’s decision to ban it.
Here’s what you need to know about what products contain red dye No. 3 and how to avoid it.

The saddest thing here is that — warts and all — Wikipedia feels both like a semi-unspoiled wilderness of information and a genuine artifact of the old internet. Hounding editors in this space feels more dystopian than...all the other dystopian shit happening right now.
The slides included here are chilling. Literally this is a think tank fundraising to stalk, dox, and harass people who report accurately about the Trump administration.
Scoop: I obtained a confidential presentation outlining how a major conservative think tanks plans to go after volunteer editors on Wikipedia who it says are "abusing their position" and promoting antisemitism

There are 21 million Black people in the US.
Fewer than 6% of us earn over $100K a year.
The median net worth of Black households fluctuates between about $20K and $40K, depending on how much scamming happens that year (eg crypto, asset forfeiture).

Interesting synergy here that history’s greatest war mongering monster posthumously pops into the headlines on a day when we’re all sort of knife-edge-dancing with the darkest timeline…

In his will, notorious war criminal Henry Kissinger, who has the blood of millions of innocent people on his hands, stated that he wanted a monument erected at Arlington National Cemetery in his honor.
The will noted that any amount necessary should be spent to erect the monument.

The former secretary of state’s will had a few reveals, including that he died a very rich man.

In presidential elections there’s the question of “would you want to have a beer with them?” Well, maybe Kamala Harris’ best answer to this query is that her husband’s first wife is out there defending her in public.

I’m glad so many American Jews who were all-in for Israel are now recognizing that what they’re doing to Gaza is a horror, but I also think you ought to do a teensy weensy smidge of personal reflection on why you refused to see this truth sooner

Realizing today, with the launch of FB’s Bizarro Twitter, that social platforms have dulled our ability to think out loud. We all work within the medium of other people’s opinions or the language of people who are brands. BSky tho, is mostly people posting zany truths, lewds, lists, whatevs.

Reskeeting because the piece is smart and hits a sense of search results decline we're all feeling but also for the use of 'enshittification' which we should all use more.
This is an exceptional piece of reporting about the enshittification of search and online shopping — including a deep-dive into my new favorite website, the butt scrunch leggings blog.
New: I wrote about the degradation of Google Search due to SEO and the garbage work consumers and businesses have to do to find stuff and be found.
With AI tools increasingly being used, the problem is poised to spiral.
