A Powerhouse Writer Found One Word to Change the Debate About Tech

The award-winning novelist and veteran tech activist Cory Doctorow has written millions of words in his nearly four-decade career. Now he's best known for a single one: "Enshittification." How did he get here? My profile: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/b...

One great thing about being a modern student is the anxiety that comes with doing TOO WELL on an exam because now you’re afraid of AI accusations.

You.
Are.
Allowed.
To.
Insult.
The.

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

Do you know how many “creative writing” assignments I had to redo in high school because they were “too imaginative?!?!?”

Obviously writing factual essays and citing sources is important, but if you want me to write “what I did over the summer” for the 100th time, expect some silliness

In case anyone is curious, I started standing for the pledge again around the time gay marriage was legalized.
As a queer teenager in Alaska, it felt like a sign that we actually were moving towards “liberty and justice for all.”

I really don’t believe the pledge belongs in schools though.

How about fuck no

The only time I saw Portland anywhere close to “war torn” was the summer of 2016 when the proud boys kept rolling in from out of town looking for protesters to fight.

And despite their constant aggressive instigation, the people of Portland continued to protest peacefully and live our lives.

hey, remember when Kamala Harris warned everyone that Trump would use the military on us, and the press was all "shut up, laughing lady, prove you worked at McDonald's"? that was fun, wasn't it

surveillance and censorship are not about safety.

A pebble in the Wicklow gap

A pebble from Wicklow!
