    Dead or alive is the wrong question about Mitch McConnell (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky sits in a wheelchair strapped into an accessible van, flanked by staff members, absently staring straight ahead. Reporter Desiree Townsend calls out to him, “Sen. McConnell, do you want to go to work?” McConnell slowly turns his head, acknowledging he’s heard the question but his blank stare indicates he may not have processed it. The reporter continues, “Do you want to go to work, sir? Would you rather be home?” McConnell replies by slowly raising his right hand

    About those White House website arcade games (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The White House has launched an online arcade featuring possibly vibe-coded knockoffs of five retro-classic arcade games modified to promote pro-Trump MAGA themes. And yes, it’s everything you would expect: Poorly made, copyright-infringing, creatively and morally bankrupt nostalgia bait that perfectly exemplifies a government whose PR campaigns and social media usage often amount to memeified, AI-slop trolling with no underlying purpose or identity. The Trump administration announced the arcade

Three-and-a-half years later, on Aug. 14, 2026, he was found dead in a manner police called “unnatural” but “not suspicious.” An official inquest has been opened into his death.

    AI slop: Do you know who wrote that book? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Three years ago, in June 2023, I was scrolling through the Amazon Kindle bestseller list. All the regular, normal, to-be-expected titles were at the top. But as I kept scrolling, the books began to change. Gone were the big names and publishers. Gone were the slick covers and compelling titles. Instead, I found myself faced with titles like Department of Vinh Du Stands in Front of His Parents’ Tombstone and Apricot Bar Code Architecture. ChatGPT had debuted six months prior and folks were just f

    The adultification of boys of color (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Little League World Series is in full swing, and along with it the adultification of young boys of color. An annual international baseball tournament for ages 10 to 12, the LLWS has transcended youth sports to become one of summer’s most-watched sporting events. The 2024 championship game topped out at nearly 5.5 million television viewers. Compare that to the most-watched regular season MLB game of that year — a June 8 matchup between the Yankees and Dodgers that drew in 2.91 million. The a
