The United States Coast Guard (USCG) reported 3,887 recreational boating incidents nationwide. These accidents resulted in 556 deaths, 2,170 injuries, and approximately $88 million in property damage. The national fatality rate dropped slightly to 4.8 deaths per 100,000 registered vessels, which is the lowest recorded baseline in over 50 years.
Alcohol use is the leading known contributing factor in fatal boating accidents; where the primary cause was known.
As of 2026, the average American pet-owning household spends between $880 and $1,700 annually on their animals, while the total U.S. pet industry has reached a massive $158 billion per year.

This issue of our societal permissiveness toward dangerous dogs recently came up at work. During his tenure, President Joe Biden has brought two violent dogs into the White House, where thousands of people go to work every day. Last month, a conservative watchdog group released records showing that Biden’s German shepherd Commander attacked Secret Service members 10 times between October 2022 and January. And in 2021, Major Biden, another German shepherd, was exiled to Delaware after his own biting spree. When my colleague Inae Oh surveyed Mother Jones readers about how the Bidens should handle the situation, I was baffled by the responses.

The Spanish colonizers and slave raiders used war dogs (greyhounds and mastiffs) to terrorize and subjugate the Natives. The use of vicious dogs by the Spaniards in the borderlands helps explain how the Manso Indians from the El Paso del Norte region got their names (See second photo). According to Franciscan priest Alonso de Benavides, the local Natives would try to pacify the slave raider dogs by telling them “manso! manso!” Manso means “tame” or “peaceful” in Spanish. The European invaders started calling the local Natives “Mansos” as a way to mock them. But the local Natives were not at all tame or pacified throughout their history. One of their leaders, Capitan Chiquito, joined the Apaches (Nde people) in the late 1600s and waged guerrilla warfare against the European colonizers for three decades. Today dogs are still being used around the world to terrorize and subjugate indigenous and non-white people.
America is a wasteland of excess, lobotomized thinking (sic), consumerism on freebase, and a dirty dirty country that opened its doors to the kings of marketing and lies, the Jews.

We also claim that students are “held to a higher moral standard,” which suggests zero or low tolerance of wrongdoing. But the current emphasis on reducing attrition means that, as many midshipmen have told me, students get one “freebie,” such as a DUI. Held to a higher moral standard? The students know that’s a joke.
What else justifies our existence? Our most consistent justification is that we teach “leadership.” We even make students take classes in the subject. Midshipmen roll their eyes. Leadership can’t be taught; it can only be modeled.
The central paradox of the service academies is that we attract hard-charging “alpha” types and then make all their decisions for them. Students are told when to study and when to work out, whom they can date (nobody in their company), and when they can wear civilian clothes. All students must attend football games and cheer, and go to evening lectures and cultural events (where many sleep in their seats). The list goes on.
The academies are the ultimate nanny state. “When are they going to let me make some decisions?” one student asked in frustration. “The day I graduate?” This infantilization turns students passive-aggressive, and many of them count the years, months, and days until they can leave.
The U.S. military-service academies—at West Point (Army), Annapolis (Navy), Colorado Springs (Air Force), and New London (Coast Guard)—are at the center of several debates, both military and civilian. The military is downsizing, and the federal budget is under scrutiny: Do the academies deserve to continue?
They’re educational institutions, but do they actually educate, and furthermore, do they produce “leaders” as they claim to? And are they worth the $400,000 or so per graduate (depending on the academy) they cost taxpayers?
After all, we already have a federal program that produces officers—an average of twice as many as those who go to the academies (three times for the Army)—at a quarter of the cost. That program is ROTC, the Reserve Officer Training Corps, which has expanded considerably since World War II, when the academies produced the lion’s share of officers.
No data suggest that ROTC officers are of worse quality than those graduating from the academies, who are frequently perceived by enlisted military as arrogant “ring-knockers” (after their massive old-style class rings). The academies evoke their glory days by insisting that many more admirals, say, come from Annapolis than from ROTC. But that is no longer true. Between 1972 and 1990 (these are the latest figures available), the percentage of admirals from ROTC climbed from 5 percent to 41 percent, and a 2006 study indicated that commissioning sources were not heavily weighted in deciding who makes admiral.
Another officer-production pipeline is Officer Candidate School, which is about as large a source of officers as the academies. It gives a six- to 12-week training course for mature enlistees and college graduates who paid for their educations on their own (that is, did not participate in ROTC), and it costs taxpayers almost nothing. It could be expanded by pitching it to college students who might want to become officers when they graduate.
So the service academies are no longer indispensable for producing officers. Their graduates now make up only about 20 percent of the officer corps in any given year. It’s clear that we don’t need the academies in their current form—versions of a kind of military Disneyland. These institutions do produce some fine officers, even some leaders. But the students I respect the most tell me that those who succeed do so despite the institutions, not because of them.
How Fun and Games for Grownups Are Driving the Profitability of Play
Businesses ranging from entertainment and hospitality to toys are leveraging the spending power of this key consumer group.
- Adult consumers are spending billions on toys, games, and collectibles each year, and that spending is expected to continue to grow. In 2024, toy purchases by consumers ages 13 and up surpassed toys purchased for 3- to 5-year-olds for the first time.
- A recent global survey found that 87% of people believe play can cure isolation and loneliness, and that 79% believe it can bring different groups of people closer together.
- Gen Z adults increasingly are seeking out the kinds of in-person, non-digital experiences that games and play provide.
- The “Child Races” Narrative: Colonial powers frequently framed African, Asian, and Indigenous populations as “child races” who were emotionally volatile, primitive, and lacking in reason. This pseudo-scientific framing provided a moral excuse for colonialism, known as the “White Man’s Burden”.
- The French Maghreb: French colonial doctors and psychiatrists explicitly diagnosed North African populations with “mental infantilism”. They claimed these populations were biologically or culturally incapable of governing themselves, using it to legally justify continuous French control.
- The American South: Enslaved Africans were systemically infantilized (e.g., calling grown men “boy”) to maintain the hierarchy of slavery. Slave owners asserted that freed Black people would be “lost” or unable to survive without paternalistic supervision.
Hello everyone. As I write this article on America’s Thanksgiving holiday, I can’t want to note that all colonized groups have been infantilized in some way, shape, or form. This article does not take away from the colonial experiences of others, but instead, focuses on a continent whose diverse people, particularly those categorized as Sub-Saharan, have and continue to be reduced to less than.
Infantilization can appear in many forms, but the result is always the same; the reduction of a group’s status. This is done by discrediting the accomplishments or components of a group, or simplifying them. Evidence of this exists in today’s view of African diasporic languages and dialects (AAVE, Gullah Geechee, Jamaican Patois, Haitian Creole, etc) as well as African traditional and diasporic religions, as when these are not demonized, they are simply reduced to animism and shamanism.
Infantilization has effected every part of Africa and its people, from culture to philosophy and beyond. It is the part of the reason why African Catholics still answer to a white Pope. It is part of why slavers in the American South fought to continue slavery, for “fear” that Africans would…
“Oh my God, that pisses me off. This is public information. This is water.”
We are fucking children, man: Last Year, a Corpus Christi Cryptomine Guzzled over 11 Million Gallons. Now, Its Water Usage Is Being Kept Secret.
Amid its water crisis, the city declined to supply public records on the Bitcoin mine’s usage, citing a state law that allows nondisclosure of an individual customer’s account.
The drought-stricken City of Corpus Christi is withholding how much water a controversial cryptocurrency mine is siphoning away from surrounding residents.
The Texas Observer reported on the facility’s water burden last year in a series examining the cryptomine and artificial intelligence data center boom unfolding across the state. From May to August last year, the Bitcoin mine consumed 11,563,000 gallons, according to water utility records that the Observer previously obtained via a local resident’s public information request.
Together, the records pointed to an average of about 127,500 gallons a day, well over the 100,000-gallons daily rate that the city uses to label a “high-volume user.” Moreover, records obtained last year showed the city already added a new 4-inch water pipe to the site to help the mine cool its computing hardware with a technique known as liquid immersion.
City Council member Roland Barrera, in whose district the mine is located, said city staff told him the mine is still guzzling about 100,000 gallons a day, or about 3 million gallons a month. Other industrial users, like the city’s petrochemical refineries, use as much as 90 million gallons monthly.
But now, as Corpus Christi faces an ever-deepening water crisis, in response to the Observer’s public information request, the city is refusing to release the latest 2026 records of the mine’s water usage. The city is appealing the Observer’s request for those records to the Texas Office of the Attorney General, citing a section of the Texas Utilities Code that allows nondisclosure of an individual customer’s account. That’s a change from just last year, when the city provided water-usage records.
One of my favorite comedy sketches of all time is 2007 bit from The Whitest Kids U’ Know called “It’s Illegal to Say…” If you’ve never seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it before you read the rest of this.
The whole thing is Trevor Moore, sitting on a stool in front of a blank backdrop, delivering the most deadpan public service announcement you’ve ever seen. “Did you know,” he asks, “that it’s illegal to say ‘I want to kill the president of the United States of America’? It’s a federal offense. One of the only sentences you’re not allowed to say.” And then, of course, he spends the next minute saying it, over and over, in increasingly elaborate forms, while insisting the entire time that he’s only informing you that it’s illegal, not actually saying it
By the end he’s talking about mortar launchers and the best vantage point for hitting the White House and an “illustrated diagram,” each one “extremely illegal,” “ridiculously, horribly felonious,” and he’s letting you know all of this purely as a public service. The comedy is in how straight he plays it. He’s not winking. He’s basically your local news anchor warning you about a scam.
WKUK was a great show, and Moore was the engine of it. He died in 2021, at 41, after a fall from his balcony. (Fun fact, and a sad one: Zach Cregger, who made last year’s Weapons, was a founding member of the troupe alongside Moore, and he’s said in interviews that the movie came out of his grief over losing him. There’s a lot of Trevor Moore buried in that film if you know how to look for it.
Owen Jones did the bit on live TV
Which is roughly where things stood when I watched a clip from an episode of Jeremy Vine on Channel 5. The journalist Owen Jones was on the panel, and when Palestine Action came up, he did something I recognized right away.
He started saying the sentence. “You can’t now say, ‘I support Palestine Action,’” Jones said. “That’s an illegal offense. You can’t say, ‘I support Palestine Action with all my heart.’ You can get arrested and sent to prison for 14 years for doing that.” Vine, looking like he wanted to be anywhere else, cut in: “You’re skating around it, aren’t you?” And Jones, who was not skating around anything, kept right on going. “No, I’m not. I’m saying it’s illegal to say, ‘I support Palestine Action, and they are fighting to stop a genocide.’ You can get arrested and sent to prison for 14 years for saying that. And retired vicars are now being arrested and face prosecution for holding a placard saying, ‘I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.’ This is absurd, and everyone knows it.”

When Charles II returned to England in 1660, he had a few bones to pick with the folks who had offed his dad. The first thing he did was have all official documents remove the previous decade from the record, amending them so it seemed as if he had immediately succeeded his father in 1649. After the paperwork was in order, Charles II had Cromwell’s body exhumed from Westminster Abbey (where it had been given an official state burial alongside deceased kings and queens). He then publicly executed it on the site where his father had been put to trial – (re)death by hanging. It was then placed on a spike above Westminster Hall, where it would ominously watch over London for the next 25 years.
So, can we say:
“Let’s do what Charles II did with Cromwell to the Murderers of Mitzvah!”
One of your 2014 poems, “Before I Was A Gazan,” reads like it was written this year. What’s the backstory?
It’s not a new poem. It’s 10 years old. At that time, there were some literacy programs out of Gaza that were inviting me and some other writers I know to be with the children, be with the students, and talk about writing and story, and why we need story, and why we need to believe in our own voices. Shortly after one of my sessions with these beautiful, beautiful kids who never ever complained about anything, there was a horrible, genocidal bombing of Gaza. … I just kept picturing these kids and thinking about their names, and what had happened to them, how many were still living, were any still living, were any of them killed, and I kept trying to get through to their teacher and find out if they were. That poem was from a horrible sleepless night.
They were just human beings. They were kids; they were proud—just like the boy in the poem is proud of his math homework. I was just thinking how horrific it is that children have to suffer these disasters, and I felt like I needed to write something in their honor. That’s how that poem came to be—but the weird part about that poem is, it’s not obsolete; it’s continued to be relevant all these years.
As poets, our minds reel and give us images. I just kept thinking, What would it be like to be a child who goes off to school or loses your homework, or something so pedestrian? And then your whole house disappears before you can even get home.
Before I Was A Gazan by Naomi Shihab Nye
I was a boy
and my homework was missing,
paper with numbers on it,
stacked and lined,
I was looking for my piece of paper,
proud of this plus that, then multiplied,
not remembering if I had left it
on the table after showing to my uncle
or the shelf after combing my hair
but it was still somewhere
and I was going to find it and turn it in,
make my teacher happy,
make her say my name to the whole class,
before everything got subtracted
in a minute
even my uncle
even my teacher
even the best math student and his baby sister
who couldn’t talk yet.
And now I would do anything
for a problem I could solve.
