Millions wanted
Narcing on narcos
Gray Lady, white flag
This week, “thousands” took to the streets of New York City to protest our “king” Donald Trump as America enters a “constitutional crisis” — or, the Times soberly, thoughtfully, neutrally reports, this is what “some legal scholars” are calling it. It’s a mass movement, really. Totally enormous. I’m telling you guys, you’ve never seen Americans as angry as they’re angry now, over the thought of fired bureaucrats. Anyway, who else remembers the 2017 Women’s March? This was the one with the pink pussyhats, if you’ll recall. Sure, we all had a good laugh at their expense, but that first march was over three million people strong. Anti-Trump sentiment is, despite implications to the contrary, just nowhere near those levels today. Are there fewer people out there yelling because culture has shifted, or are there fewer people out there yelling because their USAID funding has been cut? Food for thought.

The CIA has ramped up its covert drone surveillance operations over Mexico, expanding a program that was quietly launched under Biden but is now going much further under Trump. The drones, unarmed for now, are hunting fentanyl labs deep inside cartel territory and passing intelligence to Mexican authorities. Some officials are hand-wringing over “sovereignty concerns,...

According to TechCrunch, the New York Times will let staff use AI tools including GitHub Copilot, Google’s Vertex AI, NotebookLM, and OpenAI’s non-ChatGPT API to suggest edits, brainstorm interview questions, and help with research.
