“Researchers argue permanent Standard Time would be better. Yet lawmakers often push permanent DST instead…”
ALT Gizmodo What Should We Actually Do With Daylight Saving Time? Practically no one likes switching the clocks twice a year, but there's an ongoing debate in the U.S. and parts of Canada over which clock we should keep. By Ed Cara Published October 22, 2026, 6:00 am ET Reading time 16 minutes Summer is firmly in the rearview window, and the Sun is noticeably appearing later in the morning. On November 1, most of the United States and parts of Canada will change the clocks to ward off these later sunrises. Specifically, we’ll move back an hour and leave Daylight Saving Time for Standard Time, only to do the reverse come next spring. It’s a twice-yearly ritual that many people tolerate, but few enjoy. A poll last year, from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, found that only 12% of Americans liked the current system of switching clocks twice a year, while 47% outright opposed it (40% were neutral). A different YouGov poll earlier this March found that 64% of U.S. adult…

Competitive balance sits at the heart of the fight that will soon shut down MLB. So @TheAthletic took a deep dive into what the state of parity in MLB really is.
@enosarris ran the numbers, the league and union were interviewed — and two takeaways stood out.

So @TylerShultz_ as a Theranos whistleblower. And he wrote the piece you need to read about ‘You Can See Everything.’
Elizabeth Holmes is still lying, he says. And the filmmakers, while creating a great piece of art, fall short on looking outside the walls of her apartment to document that.
One key detail: "My wife had to squeeze my arm to prevent me from jumping out of my seat in the theater and screaming, THAT IS NOT THE DEVICE."
Again, that device Holmes showed? It's not the one we're talking about!!!!
Having seen the film, I basically agree with Tyler's take.

NEW: We obtained the full six minute audio of the Lindner recording. The employee there repeatedly denied anyone named “James Talarico” was in her system at all. Only towards the end did she say someone had checked out that day.

This is absolutely wild per Status — ABC News completely retracted this story like two days ago just totally nuked it. No note, no explanation , no comment. It had been shared by tons of top lawmakers and democratic officials.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail.
“It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Please.”

With no disrespect to my many many friends who continue to do excellent journalism at The Washington Post, Jeff Bezos has made abundantly clear that he cannot be trusted to own the flagship paper of the nation’s capital. Follow @washingtonsun

I talked to @USATODAY about the Voluntary Intoxication Loophole.
The harassment of Jane Doe and the frankly unhinged commentary about what women should expect if they drink show exactly why the bill to close it has lingered in Albany for 7 years.

"When describing what happened later in the night, the transcript says Jane Doe said, 'I can say with 100% confidence I was raped.'"

“the 38-year-old was arrested, detained, and charged with heinous crimes – all because someone else pulled photos of him off the internet… and then messaged them to an undercover officer posing as a child during the sting operation” floridatrib.org/2026/09/28/h…

Ever since I started at Slate I have been fascinated by our commenting community, which seems to hate just about everything I’ve ever published on the site. For the 30th anniversary of the magazine, I decided to ask them why. (Quick thread.)
