- Make the most of the snipping tools in Windows. "As usual with Windows, there isn’t just one way to snip, clip, or capture a screenshot of part of your screen. There’s a handful of options in Windows 10 and a more powerful new tool just for Windows 11."
- Canadian residents are racing to save the data in Trump's crosshairs. "Guerilla effort underway to preserve medical, environmental data from deletion."
- Appeasement at Munich by historian Timothy Snyder. The path the world is on is much like the world of 1938, and we know how that ended, though the current US administration apparently doesn't.
- ‘A Maze the Size of Earth’: New AI Tackles Math Problems That Take Millions of Steps. "A newly developed machine learning algorithm is taking on math problems that have vexed experts for decades."
- Why the COVID Deniers Won (archive link). "Lessons from the pandemic and its aftermath."
- On Having a Maximum Wealth. "A small thought experiment." Interesting but it doesn't go far enough. I would tax all income over $1,000,000 at 90 percent, and 100 percent over $10,000,000. I'd set a minimum corporate tax rate of 25% and graduate that based on revenue as well. It would be higher on income that wasn't based on sales or production.
- Librarians gain protections in some states as book bans soar. "New Jersey just joined at least five other states that have taken steps against school library censorship."
- A ‘True Crime’ Documentary Series Has Millions of Views. The Murders Are All AI-Generated. 'The creator of a viral "true crime" series where the murders were all invented by AI explains how he did it.'
