People do not understand that, irrespective of income, Black people shopped for clothes in particularly dehumanizing ways. In some instances you measured yourself with a ruler before you went to the store because trying on clothes was not allowed. Neither were returns. This isn’t ancient history.

CNN on the last jobs report before the midterms: "It came in cold -- surprisingly cold. Job growth weaker than expected, unemployment unexpectedly went up, and paychecks aren't keeping up with prices. This was disappointing all around."

Black text on white page that reads as follows:

New Yorkers who lost their SNAP benefits because of the federal government's expanded work requirements can reapply starting today, October 1.

To find out whether you're eligible to get your benefits back or qualify for an exemption, call 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669), visit nyc.gov/ACCESSHRA, or use the ACCESS HRA app.

Let me put it plainly. The state auditor is scared to face a jury of his peers because he knows he will lose. And so he's running to the Mississippi State Supreme Court, begging them to wipe away the egg he smeared over his own face.

One long term effect of our current politics is that even when you’ve been totally exposed as fraudulent you can just double down. Never concede. Never admit you’re wrong. It’s terrible. We are all worse for it.

Eric Schmitt is what happens when a state becomes so red that you don’t need to be a talented politician to become a US Senator. And to be fair, there are examples of this in blue states too. Iron sharpens iron.

“Taking to actual people is still worthwhile unless you intend to bludgeon them into compliance” is great advice for economists and the way they imagine human behavior is explained in the data. Unfortunately, most would prefer to bludgeon people into compliance with their models. And they LOVE AI.

Paxton's buddy, a child rapist, raped a child for 3 fucking years, from the time the child was aged 8 until 11. And Paxton thinks 60 days in the country club prison for rich GOP Texans was sufficient penalty for raping a child for three years? Come on Texas, kick the Paxton trash to the curb in Nov.

I think a large number of people turn to sports to escape. Given how unpopular the President is, I wonder if these ads during football games are hurting him more than helping him. The ad just serves as a reminder. There’s not a single accomplishment named. It contains zero information.

Did Anthropic's Claude discover something new in biotech? Well, just like with those recent alleged math proofs, it looks like it was given the answers in advance from real humans doing actual research. (gift: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/s...)
Dr. Mestre and his colleagues have yet to publish their findings. But for the past three years, they have regularly used Anthropic’s A.I. models as they have written code, drafted manuscripts and performed other tasks.

In doing so, Dr. Mestre said he and colleagues shared key findings about the enzymes with Anthropic.Anthropic said that Claude’s key contribution was identifying an array of RNA molecules and a protein associated with reverse transcriptase in a system. But Dr. Mestre said that he and his colleagues had made that discovery over a year ago.

We live in a society that frequently bargains and negotiates in the shadow of the law. One thing we should worry about as this administration defies the courts are the downstream effects. If we do not have laws the way we settle disputes outside of the court will collapse since the court is useless
