    The Guardian Deletes Osama Bin Laden's 'Letter to America' Because It Went Viral on TikTok
    https://www.404media.co/guardian-deletes-osama-bin-ladens-letter-to-america-after-it-goes-viral-on-tiktok/
    The Guardian has removed a letter written by Osama Bin Laden, explaining his war against the United States is partly because of its support of Israel, after it had gone viral on TikTok. “This page previously displayed a document containing, in translation, the full text of Osama bin Laden’s ‘letter to the American people,’ as reported in the Observer on Sunday 24 November 2002,” a note on the Guardian’s site where the letter previously appeared now reads. “The document, which was published here on the same day, was removed on 15 November 2023.” “The transcript published on our website 20 years ago has been widely shared today on social media without its original context,” a spokesperson for The Guardian told 404 Media. “Therefore we have decided to take it down and direct readers to the news article that originally contextualized it instead.”

    …Perhaps most alarming, 7 out of 10 people surveyed believed the economy wasn’t getting better — even after they were explicitly told that inflation had eased and unemployment sat near record lows.

    The Conservative Legal Movement’s Fingerprints Are All Over the SCOTUS Code of Conduct
    https://ballsandstrikes.org/ethics-accountability/scotus-code-of-conduct-conservative-legal-movement-fingerprints/
    The Supreme Court's "code of conduct" is conspicuously tailored to all the unethical things the justices love doing so much. Earlier this week, the Supreme Court addressed its bottomless supply of humiliating ethics scandals by issuing its first-ever code of conduct, albeit in the most petulant manner imaginable. The code, the justices wrote in a silly, pissy preface, is merely a “codification” of rules they have “long” followed, and aims to correct the “misunderstanding” that the justices “regard themselves as unrestricted by any ethics rules.” Put differently, widespread outrage at the revelation that Clarence and Ginni Thomas spend several weeks each summer living in the breast pockets of various billionaires is the unfortunate product of overwrought public ignorance. As my colleague Madiba Dennie has written, easily the code’s most glaring omission is the fact that it can’t be enforced: For justices who unapologetically flout it, there are exactly zero consequences. But enforcement aside, the code’s substantive provisions are also the work product of a Court controlled by a six-justice conservative supermajority, whose members made very sure that the rules, such as they are, would not implicate the things they love doing most. I am not suggesting that Leonard Leo literally drafted this “code of conduct.” I am simply pointing out that if he had, I am not sure what about it would be different.

    André 3000 opens up about 'New Blue Sun,' his daring new solo album
    https://www.npr.org/2023/11/14/1212661071/andre-3000-album
    For the first time in over 17 years, André 3000 is releasing an album of new music. New Blue Sun – announced today and set to be released this Friday, Nov. 17 – is a stunning 87-minute mind-bender, minimalist and experimental, tribal and transcendent. One thing it is not, however, is a rap record: No bars, no beats, no sub-bass. André doesn't sing on this joint, either. What he does do is play flute, and plenty of it — contrabass flute, Mayan flutes, bamboo flutes — along with other digital wind instruments. In place of lyrics, he offers eight provocative song titles, the first of which almost reads like a lowkey apology, with a wink of irony: "I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A 'Rap' Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time."

    Why the Human Brain Perceives Small Numbers Better

    Then, after a fleeting glance, he guessed how many there were, before counting them to record the true value. After more than 1,000 trials, he saw a clear pattern. When there were four or fewer beans in the box, he always guessed the right number. But for five beans or more, his quick estimations were often incorrect.
