Important context: this will be economic disaster for Saxony-Anhalt, which is already the region with the highest average age in Germany, and which is desperate for migrant workers. If the AfD wins, as expected, a huge number of immigrants will leave and will take their labour with them.

“The report also found that U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody, who was attorney general at the time, knew of the scheme and approved it.”

Did you know that Byron Donalds, the GOP nominee for governor in Florida, is not only running as a pro-data center candidate.. He is running on building nuclear reactors on-site to power data centers, potentially putting nuclear sites in your neighborhood. This is his platform on data centers.

Nixon is only the second Black woman to win the Democratic nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in the Sunshine State. If she wins the general election, she would also become the first Black lawmaker and second woman ever elected to represent the state in the U.S. Senate. bit.ly/45Bj7HW

This image shows a person standing in front of a mural featuring a large artistic depiction of a face. They are holding a microphone and appear to be speaking. The text on the image reads, "Election 2026: Angie Nixon notches an upset victory in Florida’s Democratic Senate primary. The progressive state representative will face Republican Ashley Moody in November."

The oddest thing about the response to this essay is people who say it’s “personal”. You can disagree about some or all of it! I may well be wrong! But it’s not “personal” to analyze a film or other work of art, even negatively. Criticism is more than “Hurray!” or “Hiss!”

12. Beyond anything about the film as a film, it was a terrible and entirely unnecessary choice to film the Trojan Horse sequence in occupied Dakhla, Western Sahara, without the consent of the indigenous population.

The year is 2026, and all Miami is occupied. Only one small village of indomitable Swiss still holds out against the Messi fans.

A white stucco house with terracotta roof tiles has a string of small red and white Swiss flags hanging across its porch. There are palm trees and low hedges in front of the house.

Well, here is former @sun-sentinel.com movie critic Rod Dreher telling The New York Times that demons are set to control people through AI. Demons.

Douthat: There’s a lot of people who think this, but you think this in a religious frame, where you think there is a demonic element to this.

Dreher: Yeah, I think it’s demonic. I’m not saying A.I. is demonic—

Douthat: Yes, you are. I’ve read your work.

Dreher: No, I —

Douthat: No, you are saying that.

Dreher: OK, but no, I mean —

Douthat: You can take ownership.

Dreher: But here’s the thing. It’s so weird to … I don’t want people to misunderstand. I mean, I check facts on Grok. I don’t think I’m consorting with demons. But I do believe that —

Douthat: That’s how they get you.

Dreher: Ah, well. Yeah.

Dreher: [Chuckles.] No, but I believe that there is a world of the demonic. I’m well acquainted with exorcists and spiritual warfare, and if you know any exorcists and have spent time with them, you know how real this stuff is. I believe that A.I. is going to be used as a vector for the demonic. It’s not to say every instance of A.I. is demonic, but I believe that people will come to see it as an oracle.

Once again, Miami's very own O Cinema has used generative AI to write their programming notes and, as usual, made up a completely fake movie with completely fake quotes, this time for Maddie's Secret.

For my latest, I reported from Florida, where more death-row prisoners have been executed since 2025 than all other states combined. I looked at how this accelerated pace is affecting people on the ground, beginning with a priest who ministers to men on death row. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/m...

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

No less than 60 million stars in one image. It's possible thanks to ESA's Euclid mission. For just one day, Euclid turned its gaze to the crowded heart of the Milky Way and captured the largest, most detailed photo ever taken of our galaxy's centre in visible light. Let's dive deeper 👇 🔭 🧪 ☄️ 1/8

A dense field of tiny stars fills this square image taken by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. The lower and central areas are dominated by bright yellow and gold colours, forming a textured background similar to fine glitter or sand. Dark brown and black patches cut irregularly through the yellow regions, like ink stains or clouds of smoke. Toward the upper left, the colours shift to purple and reddish tones, blending gently into the surrounding star field. Small blue points of light are scattered across the image.

I don't know about the entire world ever being so ideal for this kind of employee-employer dialectic, but in journalism, healthy newsrooms require a real measure of open dialogue. Great reporters question and argue with authority as a matter of existential purpose. Hacks smile and eat the shit.

Also anyone with any actual experience managing a newsroom knows that if you have real reporters in your bullpen they will confront you with real questions about your intentions. If you can’t handle it, you have no business managing a newsroom.
