The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Additional U.S. Marines being sent to Haiti to defend the embassy from gang attacks face a grim reality: They're increasingly being targeted by American-made, military-grade firearms.

NEW: The New York Times got a State Dept. cable telling diplomats to destroy visas that had been approved and printed to give to Afghans. And diplomats are told to do scheduled interviews but not grant visas. US shuts all legal entry routes for Afghans. Our story: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/u...

If I told you at any previous point in American history about a 79-year-old man who was posting online messages that started "To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers," you'd ask who and where that man's caretakers were

The president is mentally unwell and just says things. He is going to arrest Biden for perjury! He is going to invade Nigeria! He is going to abolish income tax!

The press just ignores this because it isn't serious. But it robs the public of a chance to see how broken everything is.
This seems like the kind of declaration by a U.S. president that should be mentioned *somewhere* on the front page of CNN or the NY Times, but the fact that it isn't (as of right now) tells us so much both about how this president is covered and the credibility of the U.S. government.
Might be kicking off.

Almost word for word the complaints of a shipmate in our first professional ethics class at Annapolis. The professors (a civilian and a naval officer) were supremely prepared to answer this, as if they were expecting it. This would've been when Hegseth was in ninth or tenth grade
“Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?” Pete Hegseth asked in 2024.

It’s almost as if there were signs!

these rules of engagement also endanger our troops: if we tell the rest of the world that our armed forces operate under "no quarter" orders, then every US service member is at risk of being treated the "American" way instead of by the book

A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
