Oh I hope it's lobster. Because who doesn't like Lobster New Borg?

Guess they're going to have to move the bodies to vote then

When will a mediocre straight white guy ever be able to get ahead, asks Conor Friedersdorf?

When they tell us "there is no alternative," what they mean is "stop trying to think of alternatives." To imagine radically is to move beyond the helplessness of prediction: a radical imagination dares to insist that history is what we make, not what happens to us.

Also, I'd love to know how two different stories -- each written by three reporters, with no overlap in the authors -- managed to find Jolene Riessen and make her the stand-in for apolitical Iowa farmers.

"You look like you're trying to delete democracy. Are you sure you want to do this?" "Oh fuck, nonononono, cancel! Cancel!"

@nytimes.com why is this audio track popping up every time I open the app? Is there a way to make it got away permanently?

Air quality in NY and LA. I remember how bad the smog was into the 90s, and it’s so much better today.

Trump just sided with Amy Acton’s mother. The resemblance is uncanny.

Yesterday, one guy wrote the patch that stopped 70% of the Internet from getting hacked. When asked how he felt saving the Internet he offered up this quote: "Well, my wife says that I’m emotionally dead, but I’m not. And it felt nice." Amazing. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

At long last, we have created a way for you to take away Nikki's free will, from the classic horror movie "don't take away Nikki's free will"

Not for nothing, I have never heard Jan Crawford disavow the Muslim Brotherhood, and I just think that is very interesting and rather troubling.

This is Carolyn Marvin, the writer of When Old Technologies Were New. A very sick move by a theorist of technology.

Katie Zacharia was practicing law the right way. by Ezra Klein

The mainstream media and some Democrats are strangely mute over the president’s flagrant abuse of the legal system to target a political opponent.

"The officials... did not specify who in the White House made the decision..." Sorry... how many people are there "inside" this White House who ultimately decide what orders to give the Pentagon? I was led to believe the number was one (1)? www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Looks like you'll now be able to die 50 feet in the air when your Tesla catches fire and you can't escape it.

It is INSANE that Chuck Schumer hasn't put out a statement on Ilhan Omar yet

Marjorie Taylor Greene comes out with a statement opposing the raid on Ilhan Omar before Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democratic Party
