Art and book criticism is a dying genre. Without it, great art will suffer since it will be buried by flavorless frictionless products favored by algorithms. There needs to be more support and outlets for criticism obviously but PhD and MFA programs too could do more to teach and support criticism.

Critics should be the arbiters of taste. But @nyt book review prefers to follow the hype, i.e. its 100 notable book list that has Hunger Games as one of this year's best. Depressing that books sections pander to popularity rather than doing their job and finding books that fly under the radar.

We're heartbroken over the death of Huabing Xie — a Chinese immigrant who suffered a fatal seizure at an ICE facility in Imperial Valley, California. Reports from Detention Watch Network show that Xie is one of at least 20 immigrants who've died in ICE custody since Trump's inauguration. 🧵⬇️

Today's news in fascism: slavery wasn't bad and you are no longer allowed to criticize the white race for racism because that's racist. In fact don't even utter the word "white" if you're nonwhite because that's racist.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Cost-cutting tactics

The secret bonuses were just one of many maneuvers UnitedHealth devised to track and cut expenses in its nursing home initiative.

Internal emails show, for example, that UnitedHealth supervisors gave their teams “budgets” showing how many hospital admissions they had “left” to use up on nursing home patients.

The company also monitored nursing homes that had smaller numbers of patients with “do not resuscitate” – or DNR – and “do not intubate” orders in their files. Without such orders, patients are in line for certain life-saving treatments that might lead to costly hospital stays.

Two current and three former UnitedHealth nurse practitioners told the Guardian that UnitedHealth managers pressed nurse practitioners to persuade Medicare Advantage members to change their “code status” to DNR even when patients had clearly expressed a desire that all available treatments be used to keep them alive.

NEA funding cuts does not make the faintest dent in federal savings. Any funding that encourages Americans to think and feel for others, they cut. They are no different than the Taliban when they outlawed all music. If there is any support for joy or empathy, they will destroy it.
