My newest article on the 1876 election. How the nation almost descended into another Civil War when a candidate flirted with paramilitary groups who wanted to march on Washington.

if “chances are slim” and “fat chance” both mean the odds are stacked against you, what is the ideal BMI of fate

Putting aside the lack of anime, the fact that Dexter is on here at all when there’s barely a single good episode post-John-Lithgow is absolutely crazy to me. That and the total lack of Psych, which is 8 straight seasons of almost nothing but bangers

You may not like him, but Logan Paul deserves some credit for pushing for legislation to protect our national parks and forests. For more info, google Logan Paul forest

It's not just that flock should get sued, we need to revisit concepts of prosecutorial and police immunity so that some human can be held accountable for problems like this
Lindsey Isaacs, a 23-year-old from Palm Coast, Florida, testified about being thrown into solitary confinement for more than three days after a Flock license-plate camera wrongly tied her Dodge Durango to a deadly I-4 crash. Jail staff told her she had to stay isolated because of how serious the charges were. The cell door stayed locked for about 86 hours. She said she was terrified she would spend the rest of her life in prison for a wreck she knew she hadn’t caused. At her lowest point she didn’t want to live. She spent nearly two weeks in maximum-security jail before prosecutors dropped the charges. Flock should be sued out of existence for this.

i hate Flock as much as the next girl, but this is simply a completely broken criminal justice system, from cops to prosecutors to jailers. no actual police work happened here. and then they tortured her.

it feels like there was a brief moment in the 2010s where parents were REALLY worried about children becoming addicted to phone, but then they almost instantly became addicted to phone too and the opportunity to do something slipped away
My main thought about the kids and reading continues to be that it's really delusional to think kids will watch every adult around them consistently choose phone and tv over book for their own leisure time and not conclude that phone and tv must be better than book

Ideas persist beyond their popularizers. For example, we now have Vaush tweeting things like this.
The Abundance movement had a lifespan of a fruit fly. Since writing this book LAST YEAR Ezra Klein has endorsed national rent control, curbs on the growth of heavy industry, and now a sort of forced handicapping of AI capabilities that's right out of Harrison Bergeron.

This is it, the most zeitgeist story. It’s got performative diversity fetish. It’s got social media body dysmorphia. It’s got AI moral panic. It’s got decay of academic institutions.
JUST IN: Stanford University is accused of using AI to change students’ race & gender while making others appear thinner in advertising, with one student saying he felt “silenced & erased.”

feels like we should have a common term that reflects this, something that indicates this classification can encompass a variety of different types and degrees of behaviors and traits, a spectrum even
I think we actually need to better understand what the core, common mechanisms of autism are. Because this passenger manifest is not neatly split between "basically fine, just a few social problems" and "globally incapable, needs 24/7 care." 1/

"The children will grow up". This was also the argument that Nazi officials gave, during the Nuremberg Trials, to justify why they had killed children during the Holocaust.

the one thing i don’t get is how ken martin turned out to be one of the worst fundraisers of all time. what has that guy been DOING besides covering up botched autopsies.
It’s so unfortunate that this is the cycle the national party decided to be fucking broke Of the roles were reversed and Dems had more money than Reps like normal we could’ve been serious contesting like 10 potential flips
