This is particularly concerning in the digital era. Pooling interviews without interviewer oversight or involvement is so irresponsible. Imagine possible transcription errors

This is unethical, unprofessional and not how journalists should operate. The other journalists should cease using secondary source interviews. I had this issue with a journalist adding descriptions, adjectives and other items they couldn’t have known without speaking to the person firsthand.

There's a poll for this: (www.cato.org/blog/75-amer...)

70% of Americans say the US would be better off with more people working in factories, but only 33% want to personally work in a factory.

I just got a HoseHawk commercial on YouTube and it sounds like a deranged SNL advertisement. "This sprayer can slice clean through a tree" "This is the last chance to purchase it before the government pulls it off the shelves" for safety reasons.

Until recently, I didn’t know infants don’t have noticeable tears right away. The first time you see them crying *with* tears it is terrifying.

What do we think about age minimums to enter bars? I'm not angry about not drinking near 22yos... but I do think an age discrimination for 30+ requirement would be a novel challenge. (I also don't know that it fixes problems)

I was on an 11-1 jury two years ago. I called William Snowden afterwards to help me make sense of a few things and he was very kind. The jury wasn't allowed to take notes - this surprised me - and, perhaps most difficult, we weren't allowed to have the written laws in the deliberation room.

Grateful to read this: The unpopular vote: why the Clancy mistrial proves the system worked These stand-alone jurors, often called “holdouts,” are a vital friction point in our democracy. Primarily, they serve as a crucial shield against the tyranny of the majority. thelensnola.org/2026/09/17/t...

The Lindsay Clancy mistrial highlights why holdout jurors, reasonable doubt and jury unanimity remain essential safeguards of due process.

There's a death penalty documentary out there, with a professor(?) who argues the death penalty should be carried out by firing squad — because the current medicalization, lethal injection, downplays the fact that the state is killing someone.

The findings in this incredible piece of reporting from @bethhawkins.bsky.social and team range from infuriating to gut-wrenching. ABA became the standard of care, driven by parents doing their best, and behind the scenes, private equity took advantage (or rather, did exactly what it does).

"Death-penalty opponents say that expired drugs could lose their effectiveness, resulting in an agonizingly painful death, or simply agonizing pain without death, which violate a prisoner’s protection from cruel and unusual punishment."

In 2014, Della Hasselle did incredible reporting on the death penalty in Louisiana. She uncovered expired drugs and the state's struggle to secure new ones, including the acquisition of drugs from a hospital that didn't know the intended use of the medication. thelensnola.org/2014/01/07/k...

“Botched” also feels like an understatement in this scenario.

Marta Jewson @martajewson.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

This feels super messed up to say - but my second guess, since there has already been once botched execution by TDOC this year, is they didn’t properly dose Pentobarbital for a woman or account for other medication interactions.

I'd really like to see a smaller trash bin option - or some sort of option scaled to water use (assuming that's reflective of household size). I'm one person. I have maybe two bags of trash a week — $32/month is a big lift.

Reading and makes me think of the lawsuits in Louisiana a decade ago — the state had expired drugs and could only find the cocktail via a compounding pharmacy.
