The saga started on June 1, when Biden celebrated his sobriety with an anniversary post, and a Republican decided to troll him by insisting the bag of cocaine that was famously found inside the White House in 2023 actually belonged to the former president’s…
Angelo Carusone and Aaron Rupar share a distinction that we imagine many Americans would happily cede to them: They have likely watched more Donald Trump rallies, speeches, and press briefings than any other living Americans. Carusone is the chairman and president of Media Matters for America, the liberal media watchdog group; Rupar is an independent journalist who fires off dozens of posts a day…
Pastor Mark Burns, the president's informal "spiritual advisor," wants to make one thing very clear about the extremely tall gold statue of Donald Trump that was officially dedicated last week in Doral, Miami. "Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone," he wrote on Twitter.
He's technically right, just as Rene Magritte was technically right that…
Understanding how Hungarians ousted Viktor Orbán offers a critical case study for everyone doing the unglamorous but essential work of democracy defense.
US Mobile CEO Ahmed Khattak said Starlink Mobile would be included ‘eventually.’
We’ve reached that familiar point in Apple’s annual iPhone speculation cycle when conflicting reports insist an unreleased, unconfirmed product is both behind schedule and set to appear right on time.
As with Apple’s annual macOS system naming fable, this moment comes every year. One publication, sometimes Nikkei, might claim development is running late, while a second industry observer, usually…
It felt churlish to let Apple’s 50th birthday pass without adding to the hagiographic choir, so what follows is an unapologetically selective tour through some of the moments that shaped one of the most influential companies of the modern era. These were the inflection points where Apple didn’t just ship products, it distorted reality in its direction.
For anyone seeking a shorter item, Apple…
Developers can spend days using fuzzing tools to find security weaknesses in code. Alternatively, they can simply ask an LLM to do the job for them in seconds.
The catch: LLMs are evolving so rapidly that this convenience might come with hidden dangers.
The latest example is from researcher Hung Nguyen from AI red teaming company Calif, who, with simple prompts to Anthropic’s Claude Code, was…

Developer Tao Bojlén noticed something uncomfortable about his days spent coding with Claude. After a long session, he didn't feel the pleasant tiredness of real work. "Instead, this jittery craving for more," he wrote. "It's the same unsatisfied hunger that I feel after doomscrolling." — Read the rest

What happens when an AI leader tries to please everyone
This time last week, I had accountability on my mind, and the need for liberal leaders in a post-Trump future to transform frustration into lustration by bringing the agents and enablers of Trumpism to heel and forcing them to pay a price for their misdeeds. One thing I could have been more forthright about is what put me in the mood: It’s the old and ongoing story of the abuse being meted out by…
The Federal Communications Commission had proposed selling off as much as 180 megahertz in the band.
Can a state outlaw carrying a concealed weapon in businesses or restaurants unless the owners post a sign allowing it? And can the federal government criminalize the possession of firearms by a habitual drug user?
