I think this might be the most concise history of 20th century Europe I've ever read. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Yesterday I walked w/ a really bright, engaged student. They--not enby, obscuring ID--knew *nothing* about what's happening. It came up in passing, but like a good student they asked questions. They were horrified. Nothing in their world was informing…

Top 3 headlines now at NYT, paraphrased: Trump ditches Ukraine; Israeli total war freaks out even its defenders; the Secretary of Homeland Security says habeas corpus means Trump can exile anybody. In other news, Norm died.

For a class discussion, I need links to longform narrative journalism about how we live with AI. Magazine stories and the like. (Books are terrific! But I'm looking for something shorter.)

What NARRATIVE journalism on how AI is changing our lives do you recommend? Beside the New York magazine cover story.

Hed in a paper I like on story by good reporter. Perfect example of understatement bias. Top GOP claims—UNH admits uncountable # of undocumented students who prevent NH citizens from attending, & thus funding shld be cut 30%—are *lies.* There are 3/22,000.…

Video on US Army’s website announcing massive military parade in DC for Trump’s birthday (also 250th anniversary of Army) brags it’s “older than the nation itself.” Factually false, & dangerous. A military org may be older, but a national army can’t be.…
