Like 20 million others each night last week, I watched this year’s high-energy, celeb-packed Democratic National Convention with plenty of interest. While true policy proposals came at a trickle over the course of four nights, what flowed plentifully were vibes — a palpable exhilaration about the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, that had largely evaded the party and voters in […] Read more ›

An event as seismic as Bennifer 2.0 could only end in a PR showdown. After months of breakup rumors, real-estate news, and a canceled tour, Jennifer Lopez finally filed for divorce from her husband Ben Affleck on August 20, citing “irreconcilable differences.” That date also marks the second anniversary of their lavish wedding ceremony in […] Read more ›

Advocates say it is a modest law setting “clear, predictable, common-sense safety standards” for artificial intelligence. Opponents say it is a dangerous and arrogant step that will “stifle innovation.” In any event, SB 1047 — California state Sen. Scott Wiener’s proposal to regulate advanced AI models offered by companies doing business in the state — […] Read more ›

The Israeli military launched the largest, deadliest West Bank attack of the year on Wednesday, killing at least 16 people, including a high-ranking militia commander, over the course of several days. Violence in the West Bank — perpetrated by the military, Israeli settlers, and Palestinian fighters — has been steadily accelerating over the past 10 months. Since the […] Read more ›

A controversy over the Trump campaign’s behavior during a visit by Trump to Arlington National Cemetery last Monday has stretched for days with no end in sight.

The case of Adnan Syed, true crime cause célèbre, has been unresolved for the last two years thanks to a complex appeals process over the question of victims’ rights. The state vacated his conviction for the murder of Hae Min Lee in 2022, only for an appellate court to reverse this decision and reinstate his […] Read more ›

There are some mysteries that I fear I’ll never see resolved. Who was DB Cooper and what happened to him? Who robbed the Gardner Museum of its Vermeer and Rembrandts in 1990? And, most pressingly: where are the thousands of pancreases taken out of Americans’ dead bodies in 2021, 2022, and 2023 that were never […] Read more ›

As California advances new AI regulations and companies continue to pour billions of dollars into building the most powerful systems yet, I hear a recurring grumble online: Why is AI being shoved down our throats? What is this good for? Does anyone actually want this? In one recent Gallup poll, the percentage of Americans who […] Read more ›

It’s been less than two months since the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and while lawmakers and law enforcement are continuing to investigate what happened, the presidential campaign has largely moved on. Investigators say that the shooter was likely less motivated by political ideology than he was […] Read more ›

Vice President Kamala Harris wants to make housing more affordable — and to help more Americans build wealth by investing in real estate. These are the twin goals of the Democratic nominee’s recently unveiled housing agenda. And they are largely incompatible. Harris aims to reduce Americans’ housing costs by making residences more abundant: She wants […] Read more ›

At any given second, millions of people are liking various things on Instagram. Pictures of sunsets and sunrises, recipes for keto brownies, videos of viral K-pop dances — there’s something for everyone. But right now there’s one specific semi-famous woman whose social media activity (liking, unliking, posting) has drawn widespread attention: Brittany Mahomes. Best known […] Read more ›

Good news for even the most discerning fans of Middle-earth: The second season of Amazon Studio’s The Rings of Power, which premiered August 29, includes a whole lot more characters and landscapes from J.R.R. Tolkien’s books, many of which never made it into Peter Jackson’s film adaptations. Whether it’s anywhere near as captivating, however, is […] Read more ›

Ah, yes, late August in the Midwest: a time for popsicles by the lake, a trip to the county fair, and, of course, extreme humidity made more miserable by … corn sweat. Corn sweat. It’s a thing! And people are talking about it. The term refers to the moisture released by fields of corn during hot […] Read more ›

The weirdest thing happened to me recently. I ordered some groceries on Amazon Fresh. When you check out, Amazon recommends more things you might like to buy, usually related to your purchase. But this time, Amazon offered up “Treatments for High Cholesterol” along with a link for an Amazon One Medical consultation as well as […] Read more ›

If I build a car that is far more dangerous than other cars, don’t do any safety testing, release it, and it ultimately leads to people getting killed, I will probably be held liable and have to pay damages, if not criminal penalties. If I build a search engine that (unlike Google) has as the […] Read more ›

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Tuesday that he has a new plan to end Russia’s years-long war on his country. Zelenskyy has only outlined the plan in broad strokes, but Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated Wednesday that he’s not interested in a diplomatic resolution. That rejection means Zelenskyy’s plan isn’t actually a realistic framework for […] Read more ›

The Georgia State Elections Board recently enacted two new rules that seem designed to allow local election officials to sabotage the state’s vote-counting process. Republican nominee Donald Trump praised the three board members who supported these new rules, all of whom previously questioned the result of the 2020 election that Trump lost, as “pit bulls […] Read more ›
