    No more Tucker at Fox News
    https://www.nbcnews.com/media/tucker-carlson-leaving-fox-news-rcna81146
    Fox News said Monday it is parting ways with firebrand anchor Tucker Carlson, the network's most popular prime-time host and a leading voice in the modern conservative movement known for his conspiratorial rhetoric and culture-warrior provocations. The network announced the stunning news days after it agreed to pay nearly $800 million to Dominion Voting Systems to avert a high-stakes defamation trial that had cast a shadow over the future of the network.

    DMT Users Are Using AI to Draw the Strange Beings They Meet While Tripping
    https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjv89d/dmt-users-are-using-ai-to-draw-the-strange-beings-they-meet-while-tripping
    Self-aware iron orbs, creatures with swappable Lego-like limbs, and “machine elves” consisting of interlacing geometric patterns—these are just a few the inexplicable beings reported by people who have taken N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), the potent psychedelic that lets users visit other realities for five minutes at a time. That people would see weird stuff when they trip is not exactly surprising, but what is remarkable is the regularity with which some of these strange characters appear. Now, a veteran psychedelic researcher associated with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), David Jay Brown, has teamed up with artist Sara Phinn, to catalog these entities in a new field guide—like an interdimensional kind of cryptozoology.

    A Brief History of America Freaking Out About Horror Comics
    https://crimereads.com/history-horror-comics/
    Fourteen-year-old David Drew was the poster boy for horror comics in the 1950s, in the worst possible way. Drew made headlines across California and around the country when, in May 1955, he admitted bludgeoning and stabbing a seven-year-old boy in Oakland. The police said he had a simple explanation for killing Stanley R. Frank Jr. “I get an urge just like that once in a while,” the Associated Press quoted Drew as telling police. Drew said he and Frank were in an argument about building a fort in their neighborhood and when Frank refused to leave, Drew tied him up, then accidentally hit the seven-year-old in the head with his hatchet as he was chopping at a tree limb. “I had my knife in my other hand. I stabbed him three or four times. I don’t know what happened. I just got scared.” Less than a day later, the narrative about the killing changed. A wire service story widely published in newspapers beginning May 19 reported that Drew had told Douglas Kelley, a University of California psychiatrist, that he read horror comics and especially liked comics that “depict torture and throwing people off cliffs.” As the young killer moved through the California legal system – he pleaded guilty in November 1955 – newspapers and wire services quickly found a memorable label for his crime: “the comic book hatchet slaying.”

    Within months of construction, the two Draper houses had sunk and slid toward the canyon the owners paid to overlook The couple took possession of their $900,000 home in November 2021. Now, the Kamradts can only look at it through a fence. Draper issued a notice Oct. 25 that it was revoking the occupancy permit for the Kamradts. Their nextdoor neighbors — a family of seven — had to be out, too. Within months of construction, the two houses had sunk and slid toward the canyon the owners paid to overlook, according to interviews and documents.

    Google's 80-acre San Jose mega-campus is on hold as company reckons with economic slowdown
    https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/21/googles-80-acre-san-jose-mega-campus-on-hold-amid-economic-slowdown-.html
    Construction of Google's campus in San Jose, California, has been halted as the company's cost-cutting efforts stifle development. In June 2021, Google won approval to build an 80-acre campus, spanning 7.3 million square feet of office space, in San Jose, California, the third-largest city in the country's most populous state. The estimated economic impact: $19 billion. The timing couldn't have been worse. The city of San Jose may now be paying the price. What was poised to be a mega-campus called "Downtown West," with thousands of new housing units and 15 acres of public parks, is largely a demolition zone at risk of becoming a long-term eyesore and economic zero.
