Never let them tell you that enshittification was a mystery. Enshittification isn't downstream of the "iron laws of economics" or an unrealistic demand by "consumers" to get stuff for free.

Super annoying that in addition to being a terrific fiction writer and world-class activist, Cory is randomly one of the best tech journalists of all time.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Nothing to see here. Just GOP Senator and arch-hawk Lindsey Graham treating, and speaking to, Donald Trump like a six-year-old child to manipulate him into a war of aggression against Iran that Netanyahu and Graham have long wanted. Beyond parody:

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Cluely CEO Roy Lee admits to publicly lying about revenue numbers last year | TechCrunch The $7 million in annual recurring revenue that Cluely CEO Roy Lee shared last summer was a lie, its founder and CEO Roy Lee admitted on Thursday on X.

Who could possibly have predicted that a company whose slogan is "cheat on everything" would cheat?

A judge ordered the release of a man with lawful permanent resident status β€” who twice won bond before an immigration court β€” but has remained detained for 200 days because of the Trump administration's use of a (previously) little used "automatic stay." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Exactly right.

The Civil Rights Division was able to show that it took exhaustive (and exhausting) work to litigate even the most obvious violations of the voting rights protections in the 1957 and 1960 acts, which ultimately convinced Congress and then SCOTUS that a much broader law was needed.

Current NIH leadership want you to think they are using rigorous, consistent & scientific processes to screen studies to align them with agency priorities.

But the process that they have put down on paper is a sham.

It’s important to know NIH is not following its own guidance. Here’s why:

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
