1908: the Lancet, one of the most respected scientific journals, calls for 18 age limit on reading in bed amidst a moral panic surrounding children becoming "addicted" to novels, which were "designed to keep kids hooked" and destroy their attention/mental health

New post! Many Americans hold contradictory opinions on the same policies. Question wording effects can swing opinions by 20+ points on immigration, the budget, and transgender rights. That's a problem for people who interpret polls for a living. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/many-ameri...

Amidst overwhelming Epstein revelations, I've heard from many scientists, especially women, about the deafening silence from so many corners. Many ask "how could things be different?" In this post, I answer with three metaphors, grounded in the science he tried to own medium.com/p/61a537ee8e...

The hidden surveillance network sending Californians' license plates to Border Patrol California residents are noticing new license plate readers that appear to be operated by the Border Patrol. Some have had confusing encounters with agents.

Independent news is wonderful and absolutely should be supported but isn't a replacement for large news organizations. e.g. you lose CNN, you lose reporters on the ground in Ukraine. That's the biggest danger to this Warner takeover, IMO

Jumaane Williams posted last night that he was gonna make this video so I had been waiting for it — thanks to @erinbiba.bsky.social for flagging just now. Williams speaks from a place of deep consideration for everyone involved and it shows in the way he discusses the impact and solutions.

Today, in honour of WEB DuBois's birthday in 1868, the @publicdomainrev.bsky.social features the hand-drawn infographics DuBois made with his students to depict the conditions of African-American life in 1900. Arts-based pedagogy all those years ago! buff.ly/3kdWqRD

A key challenge, and a huge source of the disconnect between Silicon Valley and the other creative industries is that, for coders, AI eliminates the drudgery so they can focus on the creative/expressive part. In every other creative discipline, it has the exact opposite effect.

"Our civic life can only be renewed by us choosing to build something that lasts in the places that hold us" A beautiful love letter to a connected future – and a call to national orgs and funders to invest in distributed, local work that create belonging www.newcivicfuture.org

This is a fantastic conversation, strongly recommend listening to the whole thing

I love this series. Truly news you can use

“The money is in the language.” Typically brilliant from Candice and Sarah, with excellent prompts from Emily and Heather, about how to make journalism that redistributes power. Now I want a six-part series on the specific strategies, tactics, learnings, community support in all four of their work

We're hiring! CalMatters is looking for a dynamic political reporter to cover California’s unique political landscape, hold power accountable, and explain clearly why it matters to Californians’ daily lives. More details, including salary range and benefits: bit.ly/4ahgjBH

This is a weird framing, all newsrooms are working to have diverse revenue sources. There might be a moral / community justification for making them free but “it only secures 1/20th of your jobs” isn’t it
