The Trump Arlington National Cemetery controversy, explained

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.

Serial’s Adnan Syed has once again had his conviction reinstated. Here’s what that really means.

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 case of the nearly 7,000 missing pancreases

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

I’m an AI skeptic. But one critique misses the mark.

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

Why a leading expert on gun violence is sounding alarms about the 2024 election

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

Kamala Harris’s big housing plan has a big problem

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

The essential Lord of the Rings lore you need to watch The Rings of Power

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

What the heck is “corn sweat” and is it making the Midwest more dangerous?

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

Amazon is using my grocery purchases to sell me drugs

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.

The AI safety bill Big Tech hates has passed the California legislature

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

Zelenskyy’s new plan to end the war, explained

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.

Georgia’s MAGA elections board is laying the groundwork for an actual stolen election

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

Did Ukraine just call Putin’s nuclear bluff?

Three weeks ago, Ukraine’s military launched a stunning operation to take the war in Ukraine back onto the territory of the country that launched it.
