Took this shot flying over the Atlantic Ocean, look at those cargo ships
Picture taken from the window seat of a plane at the wing. The sun is obscured by the clouds but its golden glow illuminates the ocean. Three cargo ships can be seen in the distance.

My latest @nytimes.com oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran. By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/o...

Writing about people donating trash is — and I kid you not — the only thing (so far) to almost get me fired. White people were LIVID. And organized to get my university fired for it. This is the holy grail of whiteness, patriarchy, and capitalism in some surprising ways. Bless that prof!

Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.

Part of what we lost when newsrooms shifted from dedicated beat reporters to freelancers is the ability to push back/question. News sites uncritically reprint marketing and propaganda, lending it authority it doesn't deserve and actively contributing to misinformation. As with Elon, so with Sam.

Celebrities have been affected, including Jeff Bridges, Billy Crystal and others. But many more who have lost their homes are workaday, middle-class people who are actors, writers, VFX artists, crew members & more www.chicagotribune.com/2025/01/14/c...
Often as viewers, we watch TV and film and don’t think too deeply about the thousands of people who are employed behind the scenes who help bring these projects to life. But they are as vital to the process as the household names who get most of the publicity. How does Hollywood, now dominated by media companies with a single-minded focus on Wall Street, recover after so much destruction?
