But whereas that original music festival had attendees who were mainly stoned on conventional narcotics, the 11,000 or so in San Jose were high on the Kool-Aid so lavishly provided by the tech industry.

WorkWorkWorkA Times Photographer Went on a Gaza Airdrop. Here’s What He Saw.

 An anchor that the crew members had used in desperation to keep the ship from hitting the bridge was visible, submerged in calm water.

Michael Cohen Got the Stick.
 The former president, facing four indictments and several lawsuits while seeking to reclaim the White House, careens from one case to the next, seeking to exert control over witnesses.

 In its alert, the CDC warned that healthcare providers should have a heightened suspicion for the disease, particularly among populations disproportionately affected by the increase.
