“One positive finding is that 94% of teens said news or media literacy should be part of their education. They know they need this training.” @peteradams.bsky.social discussing NLP’s latest report on teens and their attitudes toward the news media with Editor & Publisher ⤵️

Misguided optimization Industrialism brought us the idea of optimization. Incremental improvements combined with measurement to gradually improve results. We can optimize for precision. A car made in 2026 is orders of magnitude more reliable because the parts fit together so well. We can optimize…

Tip for tap There is plenty of unintentional harm in our world. We've all been bruised or derailed by someone who had no ill intent. We often respond with intentional harm, to make a point and to teach a lesson. The alternative is clarity. Shared understanding instead of intentional pain. Tap is…

Free agency Unrestricted free choice is a myth. There are always boundaries and trade-offs. But being fully stuck is also a myth. We might not like the trade offs, but we also have a choice. Since we always live in between, the work isn't waiting until we have free agency. The work is deciding and…

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

so great to see the open access resource at TRAIIL & the contributions from faculty about how they engage with #GenAI in their classrooms: stars.library.ucf.edu/traiil/ #HigherEd #EdTech #Teaching #AIEdu

Process thinking Sure, you made it work this time, but will it work next time? Can you teach the method to someone else? Do you have a protocol for what to do when it doesn't work? How can someone else contribute to your process to make it better?

Sorting A surprising amount of our time is spent sorting things to create value. They sort the rotten cranberries from the good ones to ensure that the bag at the market is worth buying. And we sort the movies worth watching, the bargains worth pursuing and the news worth reading. Editors, gold…

“Everybody wants to win” Sports analogies often let us down. A colleague was explaining how measurement was difficult in many organizations, unlike a basketball game, where the time, the score and the stats are clear and obvious. He said, "everybody wants to win." Depending on how you define…

The infinite tail The Long Tail was a profound cultural insight. When we created YouTube, Amazon, Roon, recipe websites and Netflix, the culture changed. When you give people a choice, they make a choice. We went from the Top 40 to millions of songs. From Blockbuster to every movie ever made. From…

The big splash 52 years ago, Apple's 1984 ad ran on the Super Bowl. Once. It's generally considered the most effective ad of its kind, creating a legend and also a trap. Was this ad the reason the Mac is still around? Or was it Regis McKenna's work in getting Steve on the cover of more than 20…

They tell students papers sound like AI — even when they're the students' own writing — so the company can scare them and sell them a product. This goes beyond the general problem that even good AI detectors aren't perfect and shouldn't be the sole reason to accuse someone of writing with AI.

Library fatigue Perhaps this has happened to you: You're at the reference desk of the library, with the answer to any question available--and you can't think of anything to ask. And there's the vegetable blindness that occurs at a really good farmer's market. After a few stalls, it's hard to…

What does it want? A useful way to understand an evolved organism or system is to ask what it wants. What actions does it need to evoke to survive or thrive? The flower wants bees to visit, the berries want to be eaten by birds. Obviously, they don't have conscious intent, but this desire guides…
