Reporting today from warzone Chicago, where a procession of chattering toddlers in raincoats and rainboots hooked up to their preschool teachers by a cord just tramped past the window beside my desk

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

So everyone on the right so upset about the political violence of Charlie Kirk’s murder (even before we knew the facts) is going to speak out loudly and clearly about this too, right?

I'm about to go teach one of my tech writing classes and I want you to know I still show Craigslist as an example of efficient, usable, and user-centered, design. I compare it to the dashboard of Canvas (our LMS) which is graphics-forward and bloated. The lesson is (usually) learned.

The rain has soaked through everything. Your socks just sprouted a mushroom. You haven't smelled decent BBQ since your last night in Texas, before mustering. Suddenly, a metallic creak echoes through the fog. They were coming again. The naked cyclists. "Just four weeks a year," you mutter.

WTF.

Why would any business want to give this tool to employees?

Why would Microsoft sabotage its customers this way?

1. The $20 billion taxpayer-funded rescue package for Argentina, announced last week by the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, delivers an enormous windfall to hedge fund billionaire Rob Citrone.

Citrone has a longstanding personal and professional relationship with Bessent.

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting:

Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial

100%

The one surefire way to get people to stop saying mean things about you is to send out a press release, insisting that they stop saying mean things about you.
