I submitted a FOIA request for every submission for the Illinois state flag competition. Today, I got the files. You have no idea what they're keeping from us.
In lieu of a 2026 prediction, my 5-10ish year prediction is that contemporary art will see a dramatic snap towards intricate, highly technical work. A dual response to the AI slop era and deskilled conceptual work that's proliferated in the past few decades

Many people are saying Weiss was sent to Australia in 2019 to learn something about said place. Very telling the only person she directly quotes is the head of a think tank lmao

A must read, and a highly cautionary tale about resource strapped schools starting football teams! And threatening journalists is bad!!
As the nation turns to the best college football programs in the country this weekend, we turn our attention to one of the worst: Lincoln University, a downtown Oakland school whose head coach, and athletic director, threatened me at the end of our interview. www.sfgate.com/collegesport...
For Calif.'s worst college football team, a 0-287 slump is the tip of a scandal
Are the Oaks an aspiring folktale or an ill-fated fantasy?

I read this book in undergrad! Highly recommend to anyone interested in Things That Shaped America
A very nice woman in her 80s emailed last night just to say that she had read ONE NATION UNDER GOD for a second time and enjoyed it even more than the first time. I can't tell you how much a note like that can do for an author, especially with all of this going on.

I took a deep dive into Meta’s “Hyperion” data center in Richland Parish, LA. The story of a tech behemoth coming bearing billions to a poor community like Richland Parish is complex and worthy of scrutiny. 🧵 1/7

The power play behind Hyperion, Mark Zuckerberg’s colossal data center being built in rural Louisiana
$10 billion of investment. Code names to disguise projects and companies. Mixed opinions. Skyrocketing property values. And enough tax breaks...

Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out
They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans.

Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans?
The answer, in retrospect, is obvious—and it’s part of a larger campaign to stop bans on Teflon cookware nationwide.

Have you ever wondered how the NCAA tracks team academic progress? Or if their metrics make sense in the transfer portal era?

GUEST POST: In modern college sports, is it possible to measure teams' academic progress?
For years, the NCAA has used two metrics, APR and GSR, to track teams' academic standing. But with the advent of NIL and increased transfers, where do those metrics — and academics in general — fit?

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

Homan claims "the Catholic Church is wrong" on immigration, but the position of the bishops is right there in the Catechism, which also establishes the right to emigrate and the duty of civil disobedience in the face of immoral acts by authorities.
