TikTok may have banned #SkinnyTok, but influencers pushing a "disciplined" lifestyle are keeping the restrictive eating trend alive. How can we police content that’s cloaked in euphemisms like “wellness” and “self-care”? NEW column by @lisamjarvis.bsky.social and me:

NYC's mayoral primary is going to be a test of voter turnout. I wrote about voting deadlines and how to register to vote — and why it's so important for millennials and gen z to actually show up this time. lindseyadler.substack.com/p/road-to-no...

Trump's pardon of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht is rather convenient, considering the president is under fire for flogging his memecoin right before taking the oath of office. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com newsletter just hit the wire: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
