Not every country switches between summer and standard time on the same day, and some don’t switch at all. In a fully distributed company with people in 82 countries, making sense of the calendar becomes a real challenge. pablopostigo.com/thoughts/tim...

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

In case facts still matter

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Seems kind of delusional to think we can control this at this point.

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

Abdul punches back and doesn't take shit. He isn't a weak centrist nothing. People want fighters.

This headline structure is literally the joke format we use to make fun of people like this

Did the New York Times’ regular headline writers call in sick? I‘d love to see more headlines as direct as this one.

the DOJ is basically acting as if the president’s delusions are true

AI has never smoked clove cigarettes and thus cannot produce art

journalism is the f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ second draft of history

“mom what do you love about me?” [pulling out her phone] “lol idk let’s find out”

Climbing the walls.

🚨BREAKING: A Trump-appointed judge just dismissed DOJ’s lawsuit seeking Utah’s unredacted voter roll, with prejudice. The ruling drops the administration to 0-27 in its nationwide crusade for sensitive voter data.

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

Worth remembering

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

For fuck’s sake

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

Convening a focus group of 30 people who have no idea what's going on and no expertise on basically any topic and just turning them loose. "Fuck me up," I tell them. "Just give me all the dumbest stuff you've got."

Today marks the 25th anniversary of Apple introducing the first-generation iPod. To celebrate, Apple has hidden a fully functional iPod emulator on its Apple Music “Page Not Found” page.

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

How big was the internet? Or at least, how many new .com sites did each year produce? If you only count sites that are still around, 2025 produced about 5.5 times as many as 2016. Include the ones that have since moved off this mortal plane, and it’s more like 2.5 times as many.

Among the first agencies President Donald Trump gutted after taking office for his second term was a Department of Homeland Security team that had repeatedly disproved his stolen election claims. (Published May)

A NYT FOIA lawsuit forced the FBI to release 38 pages of its investigation into the CIA's torture program - and about 2,000 more pages are supposedly coming. These important docs are 20 years old - it shouldn't take two decades and a lawsuit to see them, but credit to the NYT for fighting.

The dude just keeps getting more normal

The White House official accounts are posting Down Syndrome slurs to attack journalists. These people are disgusting and morally depraved.
