Why is it that most of my favorite Dead songs are filled with lyrics like "and all who could not sink or swim were just just left there to float"?

They are, though, creating many competing products. The NYTimes case alleges the ai summaries used by Google and others competes directly with news organizations and they have Google emails which say so. There are whole books being written to look like books of Scalzi and others.

It's not just elderly. I have to maintain at least 4 different health apps if I want to keep track of my various Drs, meds and diagnostic testing outfits. I shouldn't have to have a half dozen health apps on my phone and then guess which one contains which info if I want to look at a test result

I like to say it has gone from teachers telling students to never use it, to use it to find sources, to use it but check the sources, to use it to vet other sources

It's pretty amazing that Wikipedia has become what might be the most authoritative site on the internet. I remember in its early days when it was building its knowledge base and it was learning how to weed out misinformation using just volunteers

Truly sorry to hear about these troubles. Banks can be the worst actors. I hope you don't mind me saying though "I'm just a bloke" sounds like it could be a title in your songs that changed the world series

Quitting the Democratic party and voting for Trump. Yes, that is a thing that every Democratic strategist should do if a couple of progressive candidates reject your advice. How well did that work out for her ideals?

To be clear, the ICE surge this Summer was quiet because the administration bet, correctly, that major news outlets would not cover it as much if the Administration stopped publicizing it. People on the ground were yelling that it was happening in real time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/u...

The unemployment rate may be very low but the labor participation rate is back where it was in 1975 and falling, and the share of gdp going to employees has been in a nosedive. This may have something to do with the current mood fred.stlouisfed.org/series/civpart

I simply do not understand this. My family, years ago, were transplants in NY. My ancestors were accused of not adopting the mores of the city then. There were signs posted saying we could not apply for jobs.

I like this article. It doesn't stress the point, but a significant reason the student loan program was in purgatory so long was the Republicans suing to prevent forgiveness programs
