A few weeks ago, I heard that hundreds of Venice homeowners were hiring a private company to remove encampments, and a rumor that it was staffed by former gang members. I talked to dozens of people — in houses and on the street — to write the story. lamaterial.com/p/ghost-town-c…

fewer americans are paying for open casket funerals. what does this bode for the craft of necrotic beautification known as "restorative art"? for the new issue of @Harpers, i met with morticians to trace the history, and future, of their dying art. harpers.org/archive/2026/0…

"mission-enabling payloads" is quite the euphemism
Inversion@InversionSpace

Precision delivery of cargo, to anywhere on earth, in under an hour. Arc spacecraft will be pre-positioned in Low-Earth Orbit, forming constellations tailored to customer needs. What's the cargo? We refer to what Arc carries as mission-enabling payloads — systems, sensors, and supplies that can make the difference between the success or failure of a mission.

it's not about banning laptops in class, it's about teaching a class with pen and paper. i did this last semester, and it worked pretty well. above all i enjoyed the atmosphere of the class more. but it's a pretty big choice & effort you'll have to sustain throughout the semester

Mulaney with the good taste!
John Mulaney@mulaney

#MULANEYREADS in June: Tell Them of Battles, Kings and Elephants by Mathias Énard. A small, perfect book. Michelangelo, angry at the Pope, takes a bad gig for good money in Constantinople. It reads like a beautiful 16th-century detective story. It’s short and wild. This makes it 3 for 3 on great recommendations from J. Michaels Books in Eugene, Oregon. First was Chaim Soutine by Celeste Marcus (a great biography and a great book about creativity in general), then Everybody Knows by Jordan Harper. Go there in person and buy anything they tell you to.

In rare public remarks, CIA Director John Ratcliffe announces trio of internal changes he says amounts to the "fundamental reshaping of the CIA’s entire approach to technology." Also says it's not "misplaced" to refer to frontier AI as "akin to digital nuclear weapons."

I’ve been summoned once again to write about Europe and AC adoption. I have a humble proposal: What if the primary explanation of NW Europe’s slower pace of AC adoption isn’t their regulatory environment or their cultural relationship to suffering, but … their windows?

BOMBSHELL reporting finds Princeton climate researchers took tens of millions of dollars from BP to publish research, shaped and edited by BP, promoting carbon capture & storage and fossil fuels. Landmark "Wedges" climate paper promoting CCS now confirmed to be BP propaganda.

Princeton greenwashed fossil fuels and essentially lied about carbon capture in return for cash from BP. propublica.org/article/wedges…
