Trump just threatened to invade a new country

The big Donald Trump foreign policy question heading into this week looked like it was going to be when and if the US was going to launch military strikes against Venezuela.

Coca-Cola's New AI Holiday Ad Is a Sloppy Eyesore

Coca-Cola has doubled down on AI-generated holiday ads despite widespread criticism of last year's uncanny results. This year the beverage company is replacing human actors with oddly animated animals in a visually inconsistent campaign. The Verge reports: There's no consistent style, switching between attempted realism and a bug-eyed toony look, and the polar bears, panda, and sloth move unnaturally, like flat images that have been sloppily animated rather than rigged...

‘Eyes-off driving’ is coming, and we’re so not ready

Last month, General Motors added its name to the growing list of automakers who are pursuing a novel type of partially automated technology called "eyes-off driving." What they didn't do, though, is provide a thorough description of how they'll take responsibility when something goes wrong. Not to be confused with the type of "eyes-off" distracted […] Read more

Will the attacks on Zohran Mamdani awaken a “sleeping giant”?

As the New York City mayoral election enters the final stretch, with the Muslim American Democratic Party nominee Zohran Mamdani maintaining a sizable lead in all of the polls, a familiar beast has reared its head: blatant Islamophobia. Most of those dabbling in outright bigotry are unsurprising: right-wing shock-jocks and the pro-Trump New York Post. […] Read more

The GOP’s top think tank just defended an open Nazi

On Thursday night, the president of the Heritage Foundation — the MAGA right’s leading think tank — welcomed an open Nazi into his political coalition. You might think I am exaggerating.

The secretive dog experimentation industry is crumbling

Animal rights advocates often contrast humanity’s dismal treatment of animals farmed for food with our adoration bordering on worship of pet cats and dogs — the point being that these distinctions between animals that are equally sentient are arbitrary, hypocritical, and pointlessly cruel.  The comparison makes an important point, but it also conceals a grimmer […] Read more

The right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings. But they don’t understand it.

Among the many humiliations of being American in the current moment is this: Members of the tech right and the conservative ruling class continually fetishize objects of nerd culture while also displaying a willful inability to grasp the very basic messages those objects are sending. While there are certainly worse problems (e.g. white nationalism in […] Read more

The Democratic Party has spent most of the past decade deciding to lose.  Or so argues a new report from Welcome PAC, an organization that backs center-left candidates, so as to build “a big-tent Democratic Party.” It is no secret that the Democrats are in a sorry state.

Americans have a secret weapon against Trump

President Donald Trump is clearly unpopular: Most Americans disapprove of his performance and millions recently turned out for “No Kings” protests.
