Hard not to feel despondent at how chaotic everything feels. I can draw a straight line from the broken way media covers politics in the U.S, to how we end up with an amoral madman crashing our economy and starting a war five months into his term. The work continues, but I’m mourning a bit today.

I’ve got one who is finally old enough in a few weeks and have been white-knuckling on this one since the election, knowing RFKJr was going to decimate HHS.

I'm doing a panel here at Lehigh on writing op-eds, audience is academics across discipline to help those who want to do public scholarship. I have my own insights as a journalist and public writer to draw on, but if you take pitches, what are 1-2 things you want folks just getting started to know?

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Before we give him too much credit, just realize Tucker could ask that question because he is around fundamentalists enough to know how they are wired (I heard what Cruz said all the time in churches I grew up in). I don't know if many journalists have this level of literacy to do what Tucker did.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

My 13-year-old son drew me a card. 😂 Who’s a better father role model than Heisenberg? (He’s never seen BB but knows all the good memes)

Wow. Giants gave up on Harrison. Devers is going to help the offense immediately though.

This guy made me a dad almost 14 years ago. He came a month early (7 lbs 11 oz) and has been on his own schedule ever since. Being a dad to someone still learning/growing is like learning a new language. You grow with them as their world gets bigger. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

I was buying an appliance and found one I liked at my local store, then did some calling and found a store 30 miles away that had it on sale for a slightly cheaper price. Drove out there and burned all the savings on gas, but now I can say I got a deal.

Fathers Day grid solution, which has us remembering some A’s (I think maybe 7 of them, possibly more).

During the pandemic I was the one who ate all the heels of bread. Things were hard to get and we were conserving, and my kids hate heels. Ideal Dad Mode conditions. Anyway, being a parent means doing acts of quiet generosity in an ugly world and hope your kids will mimic that. Happy Father’s Day.

"Within the Meta AI app, a “discover” tab shows a timeline of other people’s interactions with the chatbot. ... While some of the highlighted queries and answers are innocuous ... others reveal locations, telephone numbers, and other sensitive information, all tied to user names and profile photos."
