It’s been such an honor to work on this story for the past 5 months. A young Norwegian, Steffen, was trying to cross Canada on foot and with sled dogs. His dogs survived; tragically, he did not. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman gave Trump's super PAC a whopping $25 million" is one of those things that could really stand to be pointed out more:
1. Texas, because I graduated from UT Austin and lived in Texas a lot. 2. Arkansas, grew up there, family all went there, live there now. 3. Never LSU, no matter who. 4. Never A&M, UNLESS playing LSU or OSU. 5. Always other SEC teams, UNLESS playing each other, then calcs are infinite.

Definitely need to have a RECKONING over *checks notes* companies making donations and creating action plans they never fully followed through on and *checks notes again* executives reading books.
finally reading the Atlantic piece on “Woke 1” and it’s interesting how even in their attempt to list the movement’s sins they struggle to identify anything significant

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Open the (journalism) schools! So many follow-up questions unasked. What is the funding mechanism for Freedom Fuel gas stations? If it’s in partnership with a private company, what’s the company? What’s the long-term plan for this, if there is one?
The White House launched 25 Freedom Fuel gas stations, all selling fuel at $3.47 a gallon.

I think the tech of LLMs, generative "AI," etc is super fuckin' cool. I'm less fond of the hype, the oversell, the yoking of our economy to a small handful of hugely overvaulated companies and the utter contempt the CEOs of these companies clearly have for the vast majority of humans.
to be fair I don't think you'd much like "AI" even if they hadn't stolen your work to train it for, you know, all the other listed reasons there

Just a reminder, for no particular reason: The Trump administration sent all federal workers who were remote or teleworking back into the office five days a week.
They are talking like traffic engineers haven't been trying - and failing - to fix traffic congestion for the last 70+ years It's the wrong question to ask And a good part of the reason we're in the mess that we're in
When I saw the pic for this article I immediately yelled “Cold Bear!” because I recognized Colbert in the background. Thanks @blairbraverman.bsky.social for this return visit with dearly missed friends. (Also said, out loud to nobody in my office, “It’s Boudica, bitch!”)
It's hard to think about retiring from racing, because mushing is, and will always be, a huge part of my life. So I took a journey with my older dogs, who have retired themselves. They've taught me so much over the years; now, they're teaching me to live with change. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/m...

So as a taxpayer I’m now footing tanker escort bills for oil companies, in addition to footing bills for the bombs that caused the oil companies to lose their insurance and need escorts? SO MUCH WINNING
Bessent: "Over the weekend, Lloyd's of London nullified the insurance, so the US government is going to step in and provide safe passage through the straits for the oil tankers"

I’m sorry to say I read this article and in it, the author gives three examples where he’s surprised by white women he knows getting mad at him for comically obvious reasons, and then his hypothesis is that he doesn’t know, maybe we’re mad because we didn’t get to have enough babies or something.
I don't know, Heritage Foundation-tied publication, maybe white liberal women are mad because a federal immigration official shot and killed one of them. And then called her a "bitch"? You know, on camera? www.dailysignal.com/2026/01/27/w...
Threatening us with a good time?
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

I feel very strongly that this is the correct take on this. Wiles is pushing her narrative with a few probably pre-approved “pushback” quotes as bait.
People are treating Chris Whipple's Susie Wiles articles in Vanity Fair today as big news - the NYT even recapped them. But Wiles is no dummy; she knows how to work the press. These articles read like a Trump press release, excuse after excuse with no pushback. It's the anti-Chotiner interview. 1/

Rabbiatu is a nurse who worked during COVID, had been in the U.S. 30 years. A judge ordered that she could not be sent back to Sierra Leone for her safety, for fear of torture (!). So our evil regime sent her to Ghana (in shackles), and Ghana dragged her back to Sierra Leone.
🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana. Trump deported her there. This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years. All the details below are worse.

Public transport isn't just for Middle Earth. Narnia's getting in on the act! I've drawn a subway map covering all 7 books of The Chronicles of Narnia. Follow the plots lines, but don't touch the third rail! #Narnia #Maps #Subway You can buy prints on my Etsy store: www.etsy.com/listing/4345...
According to recent articles I’ve seen, everyone older than than Gen Z cusses more, has more sex, and drinks more, which by Gen X standards indicates WE’RE the cool ones and therefore we make the rules. So fuck off with the middle parts and uncomfortable clothes and shitty music.
