Everyone citing Janet Malcolm's The Journalist and the Murderer is thinking of the wrong Malcolm text re: "You Can See Everything." Real ones know it is The Impossible Profession that truly applies to Fielder's masterpiece.

About 300 people have died from overdoses this year in San Francisco and more than 20 have been killed in homicides, but yes, it seems like a very neat video game from a Y Combinator alumn!

Apparently, Instagram really *was* suggesting "Higher" by Creed at a much higher rate than intended. I looked into it for @CNN. (No it's not happening with Soulja Boy.) cnn.com/2026/10/08/entertain…

Instagram is sorry it gave users too much Creed | CNN

How did “Higher” become the suggested soundtrack to so many Instagram posts? The platform pleads it was a glitch.

The AI safety movement has been saying AI will kill all humans for years. Why did their message hit the mainstream now? Great one to send to the group chats, from @nitashatiku washingtonpost.com/technolog…

For years, they warned AI could kill all humans. Now people are listening.

A doomsaying community once on the periphery of the tech industry has gained influence, as AI “agents” perform amazing and alarming feats.

Documents I obtained show that OpenAI and Google aren't simply selling a product, but working hand in hand with the Pentagon, advising the U.S. military on AI usage and risks, military AI strategy, and even receiving briefings on "operational missions." theintercept.com/2026/09/08/…

I promise you are not prepared for how bad the costume is

Target News

@TargetNewsAug 24

An apology from us: We pulled an offensive Halloween costume that should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer for sale. As a company, we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won’t happen again.
