Three months ago I asked you all for suggestions about a web platform for scrollytelling, and received a host of very good suggestions. We ended up going with Shorthand.com, which we found the fastest and easiest for non-designers to use. I've posted this before, but here's the website we built.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

"The Trump administration has asked Ukraine to withdraw an annual resolution condemning Russia’s war, and wants to replace it with a toned-down U.S. statement that was perceived as being close to pro-Russian in Kyiv..."

Hey @halbfinger.bsky.social, could you or someone else at the Times explain how firing a qualified senior general “root[s] out diversity initiatives?” Which initiative specifically did this “root out?”

What if what the things they got done are classified? What if they work at a remote post with limited access to email? What if they’re stuck on the space station?

There is nothing about the officers being purged that suggests any particular political ideology or partisan affiliation, and that's why they're being purged. It's not about replacing "woke" liberals or Democrats. It's about replacing professional nonpartisan neutrals with MAGA-hatted lickspittles.

We talked to employees across the federal government about how they are resisting Musk and Trump. One of the funnier stories is from USDS, where some workers keep putting up a sign that reads "HATE HAS NO HOME HERE" after it's being taken down over night. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Repealing Section 230 with an autocrat in power will not hold tech accountable, it will suppress speech and force platforms to silence users who say things the regime doesn’t like.

You don’t actually have to be scientist to deduce this, just some reasoning will get you there. Roughly, LLMs work by statistically estimating the likely next word in a sequence of words (that you start with your prompt). Will this statistics exercise suddenly yield a human if done quicker?

This is why JD Vance was in Europe claiming that the US values free speech. It is part of the imperial project to force Europe to allow Nazi incitement like the US allows.

It wasn't "debunked" it was fraudulent from the get go. It wasn't a well meaning person saying, "wear copper for your aching joints", it was a cynical attempt to make money with intentional lies.

It is indefensible for legacy outlets to claim they “first reported” things independent journalists or less traditional outlets had first, which they obviously saw. It’s very common, WP does it but NYT is particularly notorious. And it’s not just tacky, it’s making an objectively false statement.
