Berkeley couple Richard and Phyllis Kluger are publishing their third jointly written novel next week — “The Swiss Account,” a literary thriller about the moral dilemma of inheriting a tax dodger’s hidden fortune.

“We’re gonna win this election whether we resolve the Iran situation before the election or not.” — Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), quoted by Politico.

“It was hardly the first time that someone on social media called someone else fat. But it may have been the first time that a vice president of the United States did so,” the New York Times reports. “Peeved at a conservative columnist who criticized his position on Iran, Vice President JD Vance jabbed on […]

Jonathan Chait: “When left-wing insurgents defeated a trio of progressive House members in New York, the House Democratic leadership suffered merely an embarrassment. Last night’s primary election in Michigan, by comparison, is an outright catastrophe for the party’s leaders. The Democratic Senate nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, who defeated the four-term Representative Haley Stevens, has attacked the […]

“President Donald Trump declared Thursday that the U.S. has a ‘massive’ munitions stockpile and ‘treasonous’ leakers are ‘being hunted down’ after reports emerged claiming the U.S. Army has burned through nearly all of its stockpiles of two of its primary long-range precision weapons,” Fox News reports. Said Trump: “The U.S. has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ […]

Most people know that Mark Twain wrote about Jim and Huckleberry Finn navigating down the Mississippi. Less well known is that he occasionally dabbled in the burgeoning genre of science fiction. His 1898 short story “The Great Dark” is about a ship that sails across a drop of water on a microscope slide. His novel […]

For generations of kids in the twentieth century, few pleasures were as intoxicating as a trip to the comic-book shop with the week’s allowance fresh in hand. Those of us who grew up in the nineties had any number of high-production-value paper superhero spectacles from major publishers on which to blow our money. Personally, I […]

I’ve never quite understood why the phrase “revisionist history” became purely pejorative. Of course, it has its Orwellian dark side, but all knowledge has to be revised periodically, as we acquire new information and, ideally, discard old prejudices and narrow frames of reference. A failure to do so seems fundamentally regressive, not only in political […]

The description “open-air museum” has often been applied, in various senses both positive and negative, to the country of Italy in general and the city of Rome in particular. Indeed, only the imagination of a truly blinkered (or unusually phone-addicted) tourist could fail to be cast back to antiquity upon entering its historic center, itself […]

Like digging for fossils or panning for gold, the research process can be a tedious affair. But for any researcher, long days of searching and reading will eventually result in discovery. These are the moments scholars cherish. It’s the chance discovery, however rare, that makes the long hours and bleary late nights worthwhile. And some finds can […]

Trump voter whose fiancee was arrested by ICE: ICE is picking up law abiding citizens. They're destroying families, jobs. I wouldn't vote for Trump again, not after this fiasco.

Rather than get rid of ALPR cameras entirely, many cities and towns are switching to Axon, whose cameras can be mounted to an existing streetlamp, helping them blend into their surroundings.

Despite getting himself into so many of them, it seems Donald Trump doesn't actually understand how war works, or what happens to all your munitions stockpiles when you use them to bomb school kids. According to a new report from The Washington Post, President Trump is gro...

I read the PDF report from Mastodon about usability problems and feedback from the community. Imani Joy in the intro:

We were beginning to find our way in terms of creating a development roadmap, but beyond major projects and obvious requirements (based in security, compliance, and grant-based deliverables) it was often unclear which feedback to take action on first.

Imani has done great work on this. But Mastodon development has always felt like a slow-moving open source project to me. What they need is the same energy as a startup.
