It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

It’s unclear why the prices differ, but a new notice on Target’s website offers a potential hint: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”
Your Data Might Determine How Much You Pay for Eggs
A newly enacted New York law requires retailers to say whether your data influences the price of basic goods like a dozen eggs or toilet paper, but not how.

It's hard to grasp the immense scale of the Indonesia floods until you see it from space.
And this is just a fraction of the full extent.

I've also quietly quit shopping at Target. If I'm going to get a Walmart experience I might as well at least get the Walmart prices. (Generally just avoid both when I can, though that can be difficult.)

Wildlife tracking! I'm reposting things I made this past year. If you look closely at the deer tracks you'll see I added the hint that they're double registering (hind foot is stepping into the same spot as front foot).

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Current F1 season / title fight is the best argument for why NASCAR’s playoff format is so bad. Full-season points deciding the championship will inevitably lead to some years being a blowout. But when the fight is close it’s transcendent.

One step closer to the greatest choke of all time in F1, possibly in any sport ever. Would more than double the greatest point deficit ever overcome in championship history.
