Narendra Modi will be sworn in for his third term as India’s prime minister on Sunday after winning the post again in India’s momentous 2024 elections. But this week’s elections delivered a shocking blow to Modi’s dominance and will likely curb his autocratic tendencies. There was never any serious doubt that Modi would remain in the […] Read more ›

As a medium, autofiction has long been a source of controversy, but rarely has an autobiographical work of fiction come with as many built-in issues as Netflix’s hit Baby Reindeer. The show, a seven-episode limited series from British comedian Richard Gadd, chronicles Gadd’s history of allegedly being stalked for years by an older woman, as […] Read more ›

What should we make of large language models (LLMs)? It’s quite literally a billion-dollar question. It’s one addressed this week in an analysis by former OpenAI employee Leopold Aschenbrenner, in which he makes the case that we may be only a few years away from large language model-based general intelligence that can be a “drop-in […] Read more ›

This week, an intense heat dome is trapping hot air over much of the Western United States, sending temperatures up to 30 degrees hotter than normal for early June. Yesterday, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Las Vegas were pushing into the triple digits and nighttime temperatures this week haven’t offered much relief. These conditions are extreme, […] Read more ›

The 2023-24 academic year has inarguably been one of the toughest years in recent history to be a college president. Following Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel and amid Israel’s retaliatory bombardment of Gaza, campuses erupted in activism, with thousands of students, faculty, and community members mobilizing to protest an Israeli offensive that to date […] Read more ›

Donald Trump has been a convicted felon for a little over a week and he has already lost a small but significant chunk of support, according to the polls. In recent days, the New York Times and Sienna College recontacted 2,000 voters who had taken their surveys previously and found Trump’s advantage among that sample […] Read more ›

Some of the rhetoric around meditation can get pretty extreme: awaken us from the illusion of selfhood, dissolve the mental habits that generate suffering, and maybe merge with the primordial oneness that our thinking minds make us feel separate from. But of the 35 million Americans (as of 2017) who find some crevice of their […] Read more ›

Hunter Biden’s first trial, which began this week, isn’t about conservatives’ assertions that he’s at the center of some sprawling Biden family corruption saga. It’s instead focused on one specific messy incident: Hunter’s purchase of a gun in 2018. That year, Hunter had struggles with drug and alcohol addiction that are now well-documented, but when […] Read more ›

Of all the pillars of internet content, surely one of the strongest is the genre where people outline their morning routine in grave and sanctimonious detail. They exist in every medium, in every platform, among every internet subculture. TikTok has its Get Ready With Mes, where influencers chat over their plethora of skin-nourishing unguents and […] Read more ›

Donning a pink headband and blue overalls, Ms Rachel — a.k.a. the internet’s favorite child care educator — starts most of her videos by waving excitedly at the camera with her usual greeting: “Hi, friends!” In one video, she opens jumbo-sized plastic crayons to reveal small toys inside that match the color of the crayon, […] Read more ›

President Joe Biden this week signed an executive order that would cap the number of asylum seekers able to enter the United States at the southern border.

About a month ago, I wrote about a viral book of “Lost” herbal remedies that had, at the time, sold 60,000 copies on the TikTok Shop despite appearing to violate some of the app’s policies on health misinformation.
