What does it mean to β€˜do your own research,’ and how often do Americans do it? Nearly all Americans say it’s at least somewhat important for people to do their own research to check the accuracy of news they get.

This is really interesting, though I'm curious how many people consider "asking a chatbot" to be "doing their own research." At the same time, actually, I don't want to know.

"I miss my friends, and I feel like they're going to forget me...I always travel with my tourist visa, but ICE used me to capture my mom, and now I'm in a jail and I'm sad and I've fainted two times."

Powerful reporting on unconscionable actions.

Many students said they were careful to avoid "banned words" in their GRFP applications, but in some cases it was unavoidable. Now they're wondering if these words led to their RWR notifications.

β€œMy project is about bears and β€˜black’ is a trigger word,” one Redditor wrote. β€œInsane.”

"You may be skeptical about machine-written work at first, but once you see the software rearranging familiar-seeming paragraphs into different orders and changing a few words, you’ll realize it’s a suitable replacement for your favorite authors, who can now rest and starve."

The Washington Post Is No Longer Useful to Jeff Bezos In a kleptocracy, there is no reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet.

"The newspaper's finances are barely a rounding error compared to Bezos's wealth, but what its journalists doβ€”accountability journalism about the rich and powerfulβ€”does not serve someone who is rich and powerful."
