netflix doing the stanford prison experiment feels like an apt metaphor for where we are as a society
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix has announced "The New Stanford Prison Experiment," an unscripted series streaming Oct. 21.
"Thirty willing participants enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. Thrust into a system of power, hierarchy, and control, they’ll discover whether ordinary people inevitably conform to the roles they’re given—or whether empathy, morality, and individuality can withstand the forces pushing them in the opposite direction. As the pressure builds and the balance of power begins to shift, the central question feels more urgent than ever: Does power corrupt?"

BOMBSHELL reporting finds Princeton climate researchers took tens of millions of dollars from BP to publish research, shaped and edited by BP, promoting carbon capture & storage and fossil fuels.
Landmark "Wedges" climate paper promoting CCS now confirmed to be BP propaganda.
Princeton greenwashed fossil fuels and essentially lied about carbon capture in return for cash from BP. propublica.org/article/wedge…

HIV now returning. This carefully details the system breakdowns after aid cuts, the local actions for resilience, what still had to be sacrificed, then the human consequences. nytimes.com/2026/04/25/healt…

got this message from our Airbnb and have become completely consumed by it. I cannot fathom what a “widget animal” could be and we searched every corner for anything that could plausibly be a “widget animal.” i now look for and see the possibility of widget animals in everything

Blank Street is the coffee shop you'd make if you asked ChatGPT to create a brand for you.
The Helvetica font, matte green color, and even the word 'Blank' are designed to appeal to everybody, everywhere and as hollow as the brand may be, you have to admire how well-packaged it is as an investment vehicle.
Every time I take a sip of Blank Street latte, I think about how its success says more about our modern world than just about any other up-and-coming brand. Every critique you make of Blank Street is a critique you can pass onto our society writ-large.
You can't help but appreciate the brand once you think of it as modern art.

This is the work that can’t be replicated by AI or pursued by a reporter with a Substack. It requires time - during which a reporter isn’t producing a lot of copy. Building trust with sources so you can tell sensitive stories, that’s a process that doesn’t scale.
"Nearly five years."
Investigative journalism takes years and years. The investment is immense, and always worth it, and, in the era of "hot takes" and ephemeral "content," rigorously reported journalistic work is needed more than ever. We must keep supporting investigative journalism.
