Understood: The Big Bet
Today, billions of dollars are wagered on sports games legally, openly, and often through apps partnered with the leagues themselves. So how did sports gambling go from a taboo relegated to the shadow...

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.
The Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin asks his dad to come play in the snow with him. His dad initially says no, because he has to work. Then, angry at himself, his Dad goes out to build a snowman with Calvin. As the Dad works into the night to make up for it, we see Calvin’s mum lifting him up to give one of the few, if only, kisses he ever gives his dad in the Calvin and Hobbes run. His dad is content. It’s a textless comic, and it’s lovely.

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

But behind the scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message.

In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardment flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.

I think it's pretty important to understand that algorithmically-run platforms have long understood anger and argument drives much more engagement than just showing you stuff you like, and if you find yourself being made to despair at what a platform shows you, that is the system working as intended

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!
Did you know that Trump himself had not posted the video when you defended it?
Why would you accuse people who were offended by a racist video of lying about their reactions?
What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made by someone else?
What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made without his knowledge?
How many people aside from Trump have access to his social media account?
Who are those people?
Which of Trump's other Truth Social posts were posted by someone else?
How can anyone be sure that posts under Trump's name come from Trump?
Why should anyone believe that this particular post did not come from Trump since it is consistent with his well-reported history of racist remarks and conduct?
If people can't be sure any post is his, why should anyone take any post under his name either literally or seriously?
What was the impulse for the staffer to make that post?
Has the staffer been disciplined in any way?
Will the staffer continue to have access to his account?
What does it say about Trump's judgment that he would choose a staffer with this kind of judgment to have access to his account?
Is the anonymous staffer a hastily invented concoction to which you pivoted once you realized that the story was going to outgrow your attempts to dismiss it?
How do you react to the almost universal condemnation of the post?
The President's late-night posting sprees are filled with lapses in taste and judgment as well as threats and pronouncements that go nowhere. What does that say about the President's emotional stability?
What does it say about the President's honesty?
What does it say about the President's credibility?
Hasn't your own credibility been damaged by your defense of something  widely seen as indefensible?
What does it say about you that you were comfortable not only defending the video but attacking those who were offended by it?
Doesn't the amount of lying Trump does, and that you do for him, undermine your ability to be trusted on anything?

This whole thing where billionaires snap up media properties so they can run them into the ground to make it harder for people to call them and their cronies to account is extremely obvious and very tiresome. It also limits our access to largr information about culture and the world, also by design.

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.
