Our listener, Markus, lost a friend tragically a month or so ago, and when he went to search info about her online, he found a bunch of AI generated, deeply edited incorrect info about her. Looking into these took us places. Please listen.
Oooof. Thanks. I’m traveling with two young kids on saturday who’ve so far been protected from learning too much about the world. sounds like i’ll have plenty of time to answer questions!
i hope people are being civil to tsa agents.
how was the scene, generally? how were the wait times?
I used to tell my clients to never answer a yes/no question from opposing counsel with anything other than a yes/no because testifying at length can lead to problems. I would still say that if I were practicing law today.
Unless my client was Afroman. He can go crazy, man. bsky.app/profile/solo...
As opponents of trans rights set their eyes on targets well beyond youth gender medicine & school sports, Democrats still haven't figured out what they want to say. They know they need to say more, but there's no real plan right now

I did a bunch of research for a story on boats and climate change that never came to fruition but if you're interested in a story on boats, insurance and climate change hit me up.
I believe the IOC is ready for the teaches of peaches
nightmare blunt rotation
Minneapolis, MN -
Many many more agents filing into the area around the hotel. Minneapolis PD announcing everyone is under arrest, telling them to sit down with their hands up. An ad hoc journalist squad being told to go further down the street. Chemicals irritant deployed in the road.
Still the greatest new year’s song/ work of art. Nothing else comes close.

Today I’ll be blocking anyone whose spotify wrapped is not dominated by k-pop demon hunters. not because i like the music, but because they must be bots.
As different as can be, but John Prine as well.
Happening now in Camarillo, protesters are desperately facing off against ICE to try to defend America’s farm workers.

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence
🎞️ Big news, scanning fans! The microfiche scanning livestream for Democracy's Library is now running a second shift—twice the action, twice the preservation power 💪
Tune in 7:30am to midnight PT to see government docs come to life, one tiny page at a time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPg2...
big fan of wiktionary's "hot words"
i’m in, too.
This isn't governing
it’s the dread of expectation. watching the clock, and waiting, after two weeks of vacation, for those scheduled slacks to roll in all at once.
So the Supreme Court’s strategy seems pretty clearly to be forestall admitting we have a constitutional crisis by giving Trump huge victories on narrow procedural grounds. This is akin to having engineers move the Rubicon River closer and closer to Rome to avoid Caesar crossing it.
If someone could bang through the Smithsonian and take a photo of every exhibit, even sloppily, that would be appreciated.
I watched it on a plane. No idea who Delta thought this bit of programming was for, other than, i guess, me. it is at the same time utterly riveting, and hard to watch.
When I woke up this morning, I had no idea I was about to enter my Robyn phase.

Friday SCOOP: @vox.com has learned that USFWS has frozen its vast portfolio of international conservation grants.
This is far beyond the scope of USAID-funded work and will inevitably harm wildlife internationally and in the US.
