A Daily Beast editor had the hotel room next door to the alleged WHCD attacker. “How on earth could someone with a disassembled long gun check into a room at a hotel where the president was going to speak? I can answer that: Nobody even looked at my luggage on Friday afternoon. Worse, my colleague arrived on Saturday at 5 p.m. Nobody looked at his luggage either: No magnometers, no hand checks, no I.D. checks. Nothing.” thedailybeast.com/i-slept-next-t…

Please, elementary and school math students, look away.

I waa sure this was AI when I first saw it. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Also, this is all insane

Team USA’s🇺🇸 head coach Mike Sullivan on the construction of this lineup: “The team was built with personality in mind… There are whiskey drinkers and milk drinkers, and we got a lot of whiskey drinkers.” 🥃🥛😁

A super interesting new study from Harvard Business Review. A 8-month field study at a US tech company with about 200 employees found that AI use did not shrink work, it intensified it, and made employees busier. Task expansion happened because AI filled in gaps in knowledge, so people started doing work that used to belong to other roles or would have been outsourced or deferred. That shift created extra coordination and review work for specialists, including fixing AI-assisted drafts and coaching colleagues whose work was only partly correct or complete. Boundaries blurred because starting became as easy as writing a prompt, so work slipped into lunch, meetings, and the minutes right before stepping away. Multitasking rose because people ran multiple AI threads at once and kept checking outputs, which increased attention switching and mental load. Over time, this faster rhythm raised expectations for speed through what became visible and normal, even without explicit pressure from managers.

@jon_shoe yes. Also, Nest/Google as well....the camera involved here appears to be a Nest

@RedTapeChron Coupled with the "look we help you find lost dogs" Superbowl ad, it feels very surveillance/police state tbh

What exactly is "residual data" when it comes to Ring footage?

Do you feel like every transaction you engage in has become a game? That's because -- it has! I called this Gotcha Capitalism, but scholars call it "financialization." And it's the worst thing to ever happen to the American Dream. Great by @oren_cass nytimes.com/2026/02/06/opi…

Mayor Mamdani is at the Whitney announcing a new city rule banning “junk fees” on hotel stays. “To those who have long approached business as an opportunity to mistreat those who they serve: let today be a warning,” he says.

Send this to everyone who thinks they are too old for... anything

In my book *Enshittification*, I develop the concept of "giant teddybears," a scam that has been transposed from carnival midway games to digital platforms. The EU has just fined Elon Musk $140m for running a giant teddybear scam on Twitter: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20… 1/

@JCapGLJ I am...so confused. In the best way

I’ve been watching the Islanders since 1978. I do not recall a road trip of this length quite like this. They traversed the country, beat good teams. And they scored goals, a lot of them. That’s the best part. #Isles

When confronted with questions or criticism he doesn’t like, President Donald Trump’s default is to attack the reporter as an individual, berate the news organization with insults, or both. That’s not normal, and that can’t be stressed enough, writes senior media writer Tom Jones. "Just because it has become a normal part of the current president’s routine does not mean that it should be normalized," Jones writes. poynter.org/commentary/202…

🚨 A new survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors shows the median age of a first-time home buyer is now 40-years-old, the highest ever recorded

Facebook plays role in one-third of all scams -- and earns 10% of its revenue that way, by @RedTapeChron open.substack.com/pub/redtape/p/…

@ehornick @IslesMSGN That was amazing.... but I can't find it online anywhere?? MSG needs to post it!

Wells Fargo scammed millions of people by opening fake accounts. The Trump Administration just reduced a former Wells Fargo exec's $10 million fine to $0. Trump is making life more affordable for Wall Street executives — and more expensive for everyone else.

The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe
