And of course, here is the story. These documents posted via these threads are a companion of sorts to the story. They also show the kind of work that goes on behind our reporting. You don't just go out to the field. You dig. For months Turn every page, Caro said. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

An irony of this era is that Trump’s opponents and Trump share the same exact opinions about Trump supporters bsky.app/profile/acyn...

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

As I wrote in the piece, for South Africa to cave would mean "treating invented crises as real." In other words, this illustrates a special and even harder case of the glonzo problem, in which it's Trump who's convinced it's glonzo, and nothing short of glonzo's head on a platter will satisfy him.

"Democrats don't have any income" is an insane statement, but it's also an admission that he sees the money collected by the United States government as his personal piggy bank, to be raided as he sees fit.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Susan Collins is blatantly corrupt. Hollywood couldn't write this in a script.

1. In American politics, the simplest explanation is probably the best. Why are some Republicans suddenly and conspicuously breaking from Donald Trump? Not just any Republicans, but ruby-red Republicans, in ruby-red states, in the span of days? The answer is probably diesel.

There is no steady unretracing progress in this life; we do not advance through fixed gradations

I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.” Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy. That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done. If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.

All footage of Trump should be like this.

imagine if the WH press corp had banded together 18 fucking months ago

This is the type of AI disaster scenario that I ACTUALLY worry about. (1) AI industry oversells the capabilities of its products to score fat government contracts. (2) govt puts the AI in charge of critical shit. (3) AI fucks up, because it has a nonzero error rate. (4) shit, now we’re at war.

every single republican president of my lifetime has started a war in the middle east and destroyed the economy

They did WHAT on 3rd down

Of all the late stage Trump theories, wants the world to die with him seems increasingly credible.

Here's an anecdote: On 9/10/2001, The Onion staff had a New York launch party at the Bowery Ballroom to celebrate the staff's move from Madison, Wisconsin to New York City. They woke up hungover, took a week off, and then produced one of the greatest front pages in the history of newspapers.

Lmao. This isn’t even satire, it’s more of a reenactment

It would be my honour to get run down in the street like a dog by the stock broker trying to change the background on this ultrawide gaming monitor on his way to the most expensive grocery store in town to buy a special kind of chips i cant afford

turns out the guy who looked, talked and dressed like he didn’t give a shit about the job…doesn’t give a shit about the job

The best argument against the Christian god is that Mike Johnson has not been struck dead.

The renaming of this lake is so dumb and petty and should not be the focus of the news right now but … I cannot overstate enough just how sad and pathetic this update is for Google

Find out who you are, and do it on purpose.

Interior has reassigned ~30 of its most senior career staffers. Among those losing their longtime positions? The woman who directed the National Wildlife Refuge System for the last 10 years, and the man who ran the migratory bird program for the last 15.

A growing sentiment in bird conservation as a result: "[we take] hope from an upcoming generation falling for birdwatching, a hobby that [we] believe can serve as a pathway to an emotional investment in the conservation status of birds and the wider environment." www.cnn.com/world/gen-z-...

As soon as there‘s a Democrat in the White House again, John Roberts will discover all kinds of new limitations on their presidential powers, but for now, President Make-a-Wish gets whatever his little heart desires

Pete Hegseth is not going to remember his soldiers need food.

Not sure exactly how it happened, but 21st century America decided the two greatest businessmen in US history are PT Barnum and Charles Ponzi, with an honorable mention for Henry Ford's non-business activities.
