I know everyone is focused on the asinine op-ed about not voting, but this is in the *news* section, and currently still the top non-Biden-debate story on the NYT app.

hi, are you doomscrolling? That's a reasonable reaction based on everything going on right now. You still need adequate time to rest and recover. Make an effort to get enough sleep, limit screen time before bed, and charge your phone away from your bedroom.

Illustrating that Chicago is better at arresting kids than offering them meaningful services, the police arrested 9 kids -- among 56 people total -- after Pride. At the city's recent rate, it would have taken about three months to get that number of kids through a basic course of social services.

I was literally standing in my local Walgreens waiting for someone to open a locked cabinet so I could buy body wash when I opened Bluesky and read this headline. Absolutely deranged shopping experience.

A disturbing but important read from my @injusticewatch.org colleague, Carlos Ballesteros. 2023 was the deadliest year at the Cook County Jail in at least two decades. Carlos looked into each of the 18 deaths and found supervision or medical care was an issue in at least half of them.

My only question here is why NPR didn’t include in its December story that Lewis had offered an exclusive in exchange for killing the story. That would have been newsworthy then, too.

I thought the story was pretty strong until I got to the section where they detail their visit. How do these observations serve the reader at all? Did they expect soldiers to beat the shit out of people while a team of reporters is watching?
