I think it’s super weird that Americans normalized spotlighting individual social media posts as “news” and then responding by harassing and doxxing people because of them

Trying to be better about sharing things that bring me joy that others may also enjoy. This is one of the most recent things. If you like jazz, metal, and incredible drumming, this is worth some time.

Ezra Klein is so emblematic of a certain kind of man in media.
Incurious while thinking he's open-minded, condescending while ignorant of his of ignorance.
It's an intellectual exercise for him, as if that's a marker of his journalistic professionalism rather than an expression of his privilege.

I am no Luddite, but I have yet to see any evidence to suggest that this is even remotely a good idea. The ongoing push to put “AI”/LLMs in everything is swaying public opinion in the same way that cigarette companies once convinced people that smoking is actually good for you.
Technologist Victor Riparbelli sees a future where students interact with AI avatars rather than read and write. We ask teachers and kids what they think and how they're using AI right now.
Will AI avatars eventually teach our kids?

Saw Ghost at the Xcel Center at a show where they banned phones. They are sending out professional pictures for sharing content on “the socials.” Great band. Great concert.
Really enjoyed not watching the concert through a bunch of phones, but some more pics would be nice.

If you want to be confused this morning, read this. Gladwell needs to stop pretending to understand these things, but if this book about gun violence “all but ignores guns,” as Gladwell claims, and reduces gun violence to psychological factors, that would be odd. The book’s teaser doesn’t help.
