October is hard enough without an unhelpful narrative shift yet again. I'm already frustrated and it hasn't even launched... (Also: at some point can more people see the irony of being sold a story by something called "sold a story"?)

These people are not changing their mind on human rights, DEI, LGBTQ+ anyway. They’re brainwashed with hate, they’re in a cult of hate. Aside from being immoral, it’s an exercise in futility.

Surrounded by women, lawmakers, and advocate champions, Gov. Maura Healey signed landmark legislation ensuring full abortion access in MA. Women have the fundamental right to choose for their own bodies. Healthcare is a human right, period!

This is an extraordinary story, centred on a group of remarkable women, but it just makes me mourn for the millions of women and girls trapped in Afghanistan, denied not only the freedom to play sports, but to speak, learn and live as they choose. We must not forget them.

Healthcare workers belong in hospitals, not detention centers. Over 100 nurses rallied outside Maine Medical Center in Portland on Aug 5, forcing ICE to release Debora Kapisha on Aug 6. Organize, speak out, and demand permanent protection for essential workers. 🎥NowThisImpact

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.

Honestly I blame capitalism. “Why would you help something else when you can just hoard everything for yourself and close out everyone who doesn’t submit to you because everyone else is the enemy” is a very capitalist mindset.

It’s not strange. We’ve been indoctrinated with this “survival of the fittest” idea, but that only applies to some genetic adaptations. Throughout ecosystems, what we see much more prevalent is survival of the most cooperative.

With student A.I. use/abuse now ubiquitous, professors and teachers are killing off take-home essays and papers. Students are writing inside the classroom, often by hand. It's part of the big rethink happening on tech and learning. My new report here: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/u...

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.
Leonard Gall (left) architect of the new ballroom, stands with Hitler and Albert Speer at the other major construction project in 1936, the Haus der Deutschen Kunst in MünchenThe new ballroom and reception hall attached to the Old Reich Chancellery, with the floor removed to reveal the Vorbunker.

Seems like kind of a big deal: "Researchers call this ability to implicitly pick up patterns and apply them the 'self-teaching mechanism,' or 'statistical learning'—and many say it’s underrecognized within the science-of-reading movement." www.educationnext.org/cost-of-over...

An analysis of over 14 million social media posts from accounts in Canada found that 87% of conspiratorial claims come from just 100 influencers. This minority of users impacts politics, influencing what people view as normal and leads to self-censoring to avoid attacks from conspiracy theorists.
