A Better Way to Think About Tech’s Hold on Modern Parenting

/

The internet does not have a face. But if it did, I imagine it drools with anticipation when a user begins considering parenthood. It will proceed to unfold reams upon reams of guidance: how to get pregnant, stay pregnant, and raise the optimal child. The user can click and purchase their way through developmental milestones, […]

Why is Everybody Hating on Richie Rich?

/

For kids like me, who grew up in the 1960s and ’70s, comics were a big deal. Our media landscape otherwise consisted mainly of books and records, commercial radio, and, in my family’s case, a small black-and-white TV with a coat hanger antenna that got four staticky channels. So we periodically raided our piggy banks […]

“Designed to Scare People”: Lawyers Warn of Self-Deportation Notices Posted in Immigration Courts

/

On April 28, lawyer Paul O’Dwyer opened his email inbox to find some good news. A New York City immigration judge had approved the asylum application for one of his clients. But the immigration court email also contained an attachment O’Dwyer hadn’t seen before: a Justice Department notice encouraging immigrants to self-deport. O’Dwyer was confused. […]

No, Elon Musk, Government Should Not Be Run Like a Business

/

For years, I’ve heard the familiar refrain: “America should be run like a business.” First, it came from the young Republicans at my small, conservative, undergraduate institution, advocating for Mitt Romney in 2012. More recently, it has become a justification for Elon Musk’s indiscriminate cuts to government spending alongside his team at the so-called Department […]

Trump Promised No New Business Deals With Foreign Governments. He Lied.

/

This story was originally published by Popular Information, a substack publication to which you can subscribe here. On January 10, 2025, President Trump released an “ethics agreement” detailing how he would handle his personal business interests while in the White House. It is remarkably weak and does not require Trump to divest any of his holdings. Unlike a similar […]

Trump’s Slot Machine Spits Out Two New Orders

/

Much has been written about the cruel, and often unconstitutional, onslaught of executive orders that have come to define President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office.

A grand jury had subpoenaed secret recordings of Nixon and his aides that would show the president had been involved in the criminal conspiracy. A judge had ordered Nixon to honor the subpoena. The president’s […]
