Now it’s up to viewers like us to save what’s left of public media

Hello! I would love to speak to women who are fans of Heated Rivalry, including those who are new to MM romance and those who aren't, for an article I'm working on exploring the genre's appeal to women. My DMs are open or I'm at juliacarriewong.11 on Signal and [email protected] on email

FYI The American Academy of Pediatrics is still publishing actual science-based guidances on childhood vaccines: publications.aap.org/redbook/reso... If your pediatrician doesn’t follow the actual science, please find a new doctor.

Any recommendations for online or SF/LA stationery stores? Seeking that new notebook that will magically fix everything

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Just thinking again about how good the TV show “Dark” is

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

Just once I would like to wake up to shockingly good political news

I take comfort in knowing that Schumer is probably writing the sternest of emails to the president right now.

Hit my annual Goodreads goal … by adding all the picture books I read to my baby. Still counts!

"the researchers found that withdrawing support for rapidly advancing mRNA vaccine technology could result in over 49,000 preventable deaths annually among patients diagnosed with four major cancers"

We need to bring back the original Little Mermaid foam ending because why are we teaching children to give up their voices for a random hot dude who can’t even breathe underwater smh

I agree with all this — sick leave is essential to a healthy society. While we’re working on that, though, we need to make it a general norm that if you MUST be around others while sick, you wear a mask (preferably a good one).

Every new word in this sentence is worse than the last

There’s a researcher with my same first and last name who’s studying AI from the technical side. Should I reach out so we can co-author in a way that confuses everyone, Y/N?

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

“You can’t separate human intellectual or reasoning powers from other aspects of human embodied life such as our vulnerability, our dependence on one another, and the fact that we are mortal” nymag.com/intelligence...

Are we not even making our own disinformation? What happened to American manufacturing?

Kudos to whoever advised him on this—and to his campaign for having the foresight to take this seriously. Names can mean a lot in Chinese!

Picking a good Chinese name is such an art and science that to this day, the British Consulate General in Hong Kong has dedicated staff to provide official names of UK prime ministers and cabinet members to the rest of the Cantonese-speaking world. It's a gesture of goodwill and care

How I've felt about sunsets for the past couple of weeks:

Are there any photo print/card companies that *don’t* reserve rights to use your photos to train AI?

I'm sure there's been Discourse on this today that I've missed, but my $0.02: I think it conflates three distinct concepts - privacy laws, privileges in court proceedings, and professional ethics rules governing confidentiality. They don't all protect the same thing! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/o...

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

what if technology wasn't something that was done to us, but instead something that we do?

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

I’m pleased that my Georgia Law Review article is now out! I did a content analysis of every state constitutional amendment from 1960 to the present that altered any criminal procedure protection—which revealed how few states even *tried* to ratify the Warren Court’s criminal procedure holdings.

And the price of gold is surging. This feels familiar…

Sign that your 9YO may have two lawyers for parents: Me: “You’re not complaining, are you?” 9YO: “No. I’m just stating my feelings in an aggravated tone!”

There is unfortunately no end to doomscrolling, but you still need time to rest and recover.

The world may be chaotic and unpredictable, but a sweet treat, a walk outside, a good book, and a nap will never let you down

The title of this post from @riana.bsky.social says it all. This is a blazing big deal for the 4th Amendment. Then again, it's a blazing big deal for like ten other reasons. Mostly because lets the FTC decide if platforms enforced their speech rules correctly. www.techdirt.com/2025/09/18/t...
