John Cusack wants to talk about paywalls.
The movie star says that by selling their public-records-based reporting, news outlets are compromising one of journalism’s essential civic roles.

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

Just cracked the case about why Hegseth cares so much about Wounded Knee. He feels solidarity with the other drunks.

unironically this is how you alienate republicans like my dad, who has a whole thing about how lakota and apache chiefs were actual warriors gunned down by drunk cowards

Under my direction, the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals. 

This decision is final. Their place in history is settled.

Started rewatching Space: 1999 for kicks and observed to my SO that one of the actors looked like a love child of Ian McShane and someone I couldn't place... The actor was Ian McShane.

Extended periods of questionable reporting at the Gray Lady have culminated in the assumption that NYT staff is now predominantly middle schoolers repackaging geometry schoolwork into human interest features.
NYT article titled "Barcelona is Made of Math: Take a virtual tour of the architecture in a city where mathematics and exploration meet.  Beside it is a picture of a park with the Torre Glòries skyscraper in the background. The lines of a cylinder have been drawn around the building as an absurdly reductionist example.

"And behold, she had her boat through the impossible strait."
Video game scene set in Venice from Tomb Raider 2.  Lara Croft is operating a motorboat which is moving down a narrow canal towards a ramp rising up out of the water towards a corridor hallway that spans the water between two buildings.  A white arrow has been added to the scene, pointing up the ramp ahead of the boat.  The inference is for Lara to steer the boat up the ramp and crash into the corridor through the windows.

Got the pangram right away today
Screenclip of NYT's Spelling Bee with the familiar bullseye of seven hexagonal spaces, each with their sans serif capital letter. The outer ring of six pale gray hexagons hold the letters, I T C A N and O, while the yellow hexagon in the center holds the required letter, B.  
"Baconation" has been typed above the gameboard.

BoingBoing staffers having a little trouble reading da cursive. Bonus pts to Bill for Oxford commas and intact infinitives.
Article text reads: 
'Among the book’s entries is an apparent note from Bill Clinton, where the former Democratic president praises Epstein’s "childlike curiosity" and his "drive to make a difference" as well as the "[illegible] of friends."'

The image of Bill Clinton's handwritten message appears below, ending with "...and still to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference, and the solace of friends."
