Law professor Josh Blackman called the NYT out on politically labeling conservatives more often than liberals, and editor Patrick Healy acknowledged he was right: “It can come off like The Times treats liberals as normal and conservatives as unique and worthy of labeling.”

Gen Z being "hooked" on some "health" drink instead of going on weekend booze/coke benders really epitomizes the sad/lame vibes of this generation. Like, if you're going to do drugs at least be having fun? You guys should be going out to bars and getting drunk and making out, not staying in with your gay health drinks and SSRIs, being boring and having anxiety. thefp.com/p/gas-station-drug…

Accidentally Hooked on a Gas Station Drug

It’s easy to start drinking Feel Free, sold as a ‘social tonic’ in over 30,000 stores, writes Josh Code. But it can be so hard to stop that withdrawal is ‘absolutely comparable’ to heroin, says...

#AlaskaSenate NYT: “Fuck that retard,” Ms. Peltola wrote this year in the text message, after a commercial fisheries executive posted a selfie with her that caused a political headache because she is opposed to large-scale commercial trawling. “Honestly. I nothing him.”

I’m hearing it’s good literature to make something aesthetically beautiful & that the “right” politics don’t make something a work of art

I think that any coverage of these AI "whistleblowers" should interrogate the insanely well funded cult ideology that they've been marinating in for years thefp.com/p/dangerous-ideolo…

The Dangerous Ideology Behind the AI Warnings

A philosophy called effective altruism has shaped today’s AI safety movement. Its proponents claim to be protecting humanity’s future. Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar says think twice before believing them.

A timely must-read from earlier this year. My favorite entry in @TheFP's Great Americans series. On the Passengers of Flight 93. thefp.com/p/great-americans-…

Great Americans: ‘We’re Going to Take Back the Airplane’

The passengers of Flight 93 didn’t just act with courage—they gathered information, discussed, and voted before charging the cockpit. Their example leaves the rest of us very little room for excuses.
