In the 1800s, people used to roll out picnics to watch public executions in the Pacific Northwest. That followed a history of lynchings. I wrote about the death penalty in this moment and Oregon's loudest voice against it. leahsottile.substack.com/p/76-an-amer...

Finding romance with someone who’s unplugged is one of the primary reasons book lovers search for other book lovers. Now, there are specialized dating apps such as Readme and speed-dating and singles events at bookstores.

Bookstores know it. So does a new dating app. It’s hot to be a reader.
Literary interests are a green flag for those looking for a partner with curiosity and communication skills — or just the ability to put down the phone.

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

At New York colleges, over 25,800 reports of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence or stalking were made from 2018 to 2024. Only 1.2 percent resulted in expulsions or dismissals. At Cornell, the figure was half that -- 0.6 percent. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
A bar charts comparing outcomes for reported incidents at Cornell University with nearly 300 New York colleges from 2018 to 2024. At Cornell, 1.2% resulted in suspension and 0.6% in expulsion or dismissal, compared with 2.4% and 1.2% statewide, respectively.

The Trump administration proposed charging universities up to $100,000 for each international student they recommend to work in the U.S. after graduation, a cost that experts say could be passed on to students.
washingtonpost.com
Universities may face up to $100K in fees for foreign students to work in U.S.
The policy could sharply curtail access to a popular work program and lead to further disruptions to international enrollment.

Spot the difference
Side-by-side comparison of three social media posts announcing the death of former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert at age 84. On the left, Fox News posts, “BREAKING: Dennis Hastert, longest-serving Republican House speaker, dead at 84,” above a photo of Hastert raising his hand at a microphone. In the center, CBS News posts, “Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died,” above a photo of Hastert walking through the U.S. Capitol. On the right, MeidasTouch posts, “Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history, has died at 84. Hastert admitted in federal court to sexually abusing boys he coached as a high school wrestling coach. A federal judge called him a ‘serial child molester.’ He was a registered sex offender.” The MeidasTouch post includes an image of Hastert speaking from the House floor with a C-SPAN chyron identifying him as Speaker of the House.

Slander is spoken; libel is written. But this isn't either of those. It's detailed reporting from a respected outlet with damning evidence. And "most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history" is as impressive as "shortest NBA player from Luxembourg"
Speaking on behalf of Lutnick, the White House said: "The BBC's pathetic and desperate attempt to slander Secretary Lutnick will do nothing to change the fact that he has been the most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history."
