Me today trying to get ready to be social.
I wanted to talk to a human right now about as much as I wanted to lose a couple of limbs and have a conversation about my feelings.

Players are roleplaying in Fortnite to teach each other their rights when encountering ICE officials

“I would slip [the warrant] under the door, but there’s no space under the door,” the agent says.

The civilian pauses. “Well. Sounds like a personal problem.”

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.

But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names.
When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

From queer horror to action blockbusters, Katy O'Brian is reshaping the screen on her own terms. Katy spoke with us about her mission to tell bold, boundary-pushing stories that matter.
Katy O’Brian Is the Queer Action Star We’ve Been Waiting For
Katy O’Brian has tackled lesbian neo-noir and gone full-throttle action, sharing the screen with Tom Cruise in “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” earlier this year. She also appears in two of the year’s most anticipated films: “Christy,” the true story of lesbian boxer Christy Martin (with Sydney Sweeney in the title role), and “The Running Man,” opposite Glen Powell.

A year ago, flyers promoting vaccines were prevalent across the Navajo Nation.

But as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has put his stamp on federal immunization policy, the Indian Health Service’s messaging on immunizations has taken a stark turn.

The Indian Health Service Is Flagging Vaccine-Related Speech. Doctors Say They’re Being Censored.
Officials have deemed terms like “immunizations” and “vaccines” risky “buzzwords” that require approval to be used in social media posts, pamphlets and presentations.

"What are you working on?"

I put the soldering iron on its stand and inspected my work.

"A time travel receiver. I figured out the machine can't travel in time itself."

"Do you have a transmitter too?"

I plugged the power in. "Not yet."

A newspaper appeared in the machine.

"I will, next year."

"Which of your many accomplishments are you most proud of?"

The idea that once your body is done growing, so is your mind.

"Wait, when is our minds done growing?"

You were never meant to be done growing, learning, examining. But you could be persuaded to give it up.

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...
