there are many reasons to oppose the death penalty, and here is merely one of them: it is harder to kill a person on purpose than you think, and it will *always* be cruel, barbarous, and messy. a lethal injection is not more civilized than the rope, the guillotine, the chair, or the firing squad

I don't think people really appreciate the gravity of what is happening in the news industry. If you value getting reliable information from the news orgs you depend on, you need to support them with your dollars or they could disappear. This isn't hyperbole. It's happening right now in real time.

Let me say a couple words about paywalls. They’re annoying. I feel that (as a news consumer) and know that (as a news publisher). But asking for your email, either to read an article or even to access a gift link (someone said this happened to them a a Times gift link a moment ago) isn’t some …

Wrote about Olivia Miles’ playoff debut — not b/c the series was all about Miles, like Reeve noted — but because of after, when Miles offered up nearly 10 minutes of subdued reflection on her season, and its end. For @stribgoingout.startribune.com www.startribune.com/olivia-miles...

startribune.com

Olivia Miles learned a painful lesson on playoff stage: ‘Now there’s no excuse.’

After a record-setting season, the playoffs showed what the Lynx star still has to learn. And the WNBA Rookie of the Year owned it: “I have to give myself some grace.”

Andy Beshear has an entire chapter in his new book about backing the LGBTQ community and it's worth a read. He talks about how the anti-trans ads were tested in KY during his election and how vetoing anti-trans legislation didn't hurt his reelection campaign.

However the anti-trans ads had less to do with Kentucky and more to do with the fact that we were in an election. Terry Schilling, the head of the APP, decided to test the ads in our election to determine whether or not the issue could win votes for the Republican Party. Earlier in the summer of 2019, Scholling had partnered with a behavioral science firm to try to find a wedge issue that resonated with suburban voters. That's right. The anti-trans ads did not come out of some firmly held conviction but was a purely political stance. Their research landed on trans athletes, specifically trans women, competing in women's sports. They tested their theory in the 2019 Kentucky gubernatorial general election. Although I won, APP considered their test successful, because their research showed the ads delivered thirteen thousand votes for Trump Lite, which made the race tighter than anticipated.

You might hask how, in this political climate, I was reelected after vetoing the anti-trans bill. Because people respect authentic faith. The day I vetoed it, I explained my why. I said I believe all children are children of God and that I don't want people picking on these kids. I then countered their anti-trans ads with commercials talking about good jobs, healthcare, roads and bridges, public education, and

public safety. The result? The biggest win of my career. So don't tell me the Democratic Party should stop fighting for the rights of all people. Just explain your authentic why, and then get back to focusing on issues that touch all our lives on a daily basis.

It's been a little over a week since McClatchy's mass layoffs. I wrote about what's at stake when communities lose local journalists. www.poynter.org/commentary/2...

I was hired to fill a gap in local news coverage. Seven years later, that gap is widening again.

NEW- For the first time, groups in Iran, China, and Israel have used open source AI models to run start-to-finish influence campaigns. They told the models to create fake accounts on social media, find an agenda, and push it. Some are already targeting the US. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/18/t...

Iran and China Create First-of-Their-Kind Autonomous A.I. Influence Campaigns

The countries, along with Israeli firms, combined Chinese open-source A.I. models and A.I. agents for the campaigns, foreshadowing future online manipulation.
