I'm about studying & explaining all things Communications, Culture & Technology because that was my graduate degree. A media expert/disinformation type who will always rant about Aaron Sorkin’s impact on American politics. More Ohioan than JD. she/her.

Happy to have contributed to @kris10p.bsky.social's column! “...throughout the history of Hollywood was the amount of power that so very few people have. Now a lot of that power has been upended, and I think that’s one of the reasons why a lot of these culture shifts have been allowed to happen..."

Remember when Chuck Schumer told SCOTUS they would reap the whirlwind in a rhetorical speech and the right was outraged at the “violence” of the comment? Remember how Chuck Schumer had to apologize?

Democrats still believe that they're going to vote their way out of this. With this incident, the US has crossed another Rubicon. Under fascism, the difference between peaceful & violent protest is just an academic exercise, to fascists, the problem is the act of dissent itself. #WaitingForGodot2026

Kennedy’s ACIP 2.0 is as expected. Headlined by charlatans that have nothing to lose and will rubber stamp ludicrous policies. I strongly urge my fellow healthcare providers to speak up and be unafraid. We must ensure there is accountability through collective action.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

The server at vaccines.gov has been exploited and filled with "gay impregnation" content. When I was a fed I would have tried to help the agency track down this security problem. But DOGE fired too many people with real skills; maybe no one will fix this.

New from me: I wrote about the soon to be 88-year-old Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton saying she’s running for a 19th term. It speaks to both the gerontocracy problem among Democrats and, unfortunately for DC residents, “how little value is placed in the seat she holds.”

Do folks remember that essay from 10 years ago by a man whose father died from a tree falling on him at an Airbnb property? It really shaped how I feel about Airbnb and other apps that just don’t take quality standards seriously.

Been following Jay’s writing about news media since 2005. His work has been an essential inspiration of my own ongoing understanding of journalism & journalists in the 21st Century.
