AI Is Coming for Your Toddler’s Bedtime Story

I began this morning, as I do every morning, by reading my daughter a book. Today it was Arthur Dorros’ Abuela, illustrated by Elisa Kleven.

The Uncanny Gmail Clone That Drops You Straight Into Epstein’s Inbox

Earlier this month, the House Oversight Committee released a flotilla of Epstein emails—more than 20,000 in total. The revelations created a tidal wave of news. In perhaps the most famous email, Jeffrey Epstein claimed Trump “knew about the girls.” Epstein also called Trump “the dog that hasn’t barked” and alleged that Trump had once spent […]

In Rural America, Public Radio Saves Lives

When a typhoon hit Alaska, public radio station KYUK was on the air, broadcasting critical information about conditions, evacuations, and search and rescue operations. An estimated 1,600 people were displaced, and many were saved in the biggest airlift operation in state history. “The work that we do in terms of public safety communication literally does […]

Megyn Kelly Suddenly Finds Pedophilia Very Hard to Define

Megyn Kelly is known for offering absurd takes that nobody asked for. There was her insistence that Santa Claus is white, for example, and her claim that wearing blackface used to not be so bad (that one got her fired from NBC News). Wednesday, on her eponymous SiriusXM show, Kelly picked another hill to die […]

The Art of Truth in an Age of Lies

“All art is propaganda,” George Orwell wrote in 1940. “On the other hand, not all propaganda is art.” That, in Orwell’s view, was a lost understanding: clear to Victorian authors like Dickens; obscure to his contemporaries of the late 1930s, who were too coy or deluded to square “art for art’s saking in the ivory […]

The Secret History of Santacon, America’s Most Hated Christmas Party

Sorry Geese: If You Don’t Pay Your Taxes, Uncle Sam Might Have You Plucked

If you’ve been thinking about tax resistance lately, you’re not alone. On progressive social channels, I’ve seen increasing calls for a federal tax strike in response to a federal government that doesn’t even pretend to represent all Americans, that uses base language to demonize immigrants and left-leaning citizens, and openly penalizes cities and states the […]

Tucker Carlson’s Lovefest With a White Nationalist Just Blew Up the Christian Right

Earlier this week, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson hosted far-right influencer Nick Fuentes on his livestream show. Carlson had undoubtedly anticipated a blockbuster interview, and Fuentes, the leader of the extremist “groyper” movement, delivered handsomely, offering a buffet of provocative sound bites designed to spread far and wide on social media. He made the case for […]
