Multiple people are dead or unaccounted for after a military explosives facility in Tennessee blew up Friday morning, rattling nearby homes and setting off smaller explosions, local officials say. The plant suffered another blast that killed a worker a decade ago, according to media reports, and federal data shows it had faced fines related to work safety practices.

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

Two former TDCJ employees are charged with manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide following an inmate's death in the Bill Clements unit near Amarillo, Texas

The most destructive inferno in Los Angeles history, which charred a devastating path through Pacific Palisades and Malibu in early January, was a rekindling fire that an Uber driver intentionally set days earlier near a popular hiking area, federal investigators alleged. Authorities on Wednesday also announced the arrest of 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht, who is suspected of setting the initial fire on New Year’s Eve. Rinderknecht, of Florida, was charged with starting what eventually became the Palisades fire. Among the evidence that was collected from his digital devices was an image he generated on ChatGPT depicting a burning city, said U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.

On Monday, newly appointed Paramount CEO David Ellison announced that his company had acquired the Free Press, the smirking blood-and-soil blog founded and run by former New York Times hall monitor Bari Weiss. As part of the deal, Weiss will ascend to the role of editor-in-chief of CBS News, a Paramount property and one of the biggest news organizations in the country. How could the Free Press—the total editorial output of which on a given day amounts to one or two reheated versions of "The Kids These Days Are Crazy," something like "Liberal Mayors Keep Lying About The 'Black Issue,'" and "How This IDF Wife Is Balancing Motherhood And Killing Child Terrorists"—be worth a reported $150 million, and why is its oafish founder about to oversee a huge press operation? Respectively: It isn't, and she shouldn't. The acquisition only makes sense in the context of both a significantly larger deal and its broader project of media reorientation. Now that the Free Press deal has gone through and Weiss has taken one of the most powerful positions in American news, the richest people in the world will have taken big steps toward ushering in the toothless, acquiescent future of mainstream media they have always wanted.

A waffle-centric controversy underlines ongoing tensions between Bluesky and some of its most vocal users.

Global capitalism begins with apparel. Slaves were brought to the American South from West Africa to do farm labor, and by the 19th century that largely meant cotton, a ubiquitous puffball that is easy to grow and aggravating to harvest. Seeds would be removed with a cotton gin, and the bulk of the puff would be sent to England, where it was turned into thread by gigantic steam-powered looms, woven together, and sewed into mass-produced coats, shirts, and pants that were sold in retail shops all over the world. In the 1970s or thereabouts, this process broke in two: The corporation, which once lorded over vertically integrated processes to create a final product to sell to consumers, became a contractor coordinating logistics between an omniplex of factories dotted all over the world. In the post-industrial world, which is primarily in the Global North, brands deal with marketing, design, logistics, and materials acquisition; that workforce operates out of air-conditioned offices. The more recently industrialized countries of the Global South, where labor is cheaper, less inclined, or just less able to unionize, and where governments are eager to play ball, is home to a constellation of separate factories, each operating as independent contractors and competing with each other in a never-ending race for lower prices and more innovative material science.
