OWNED has been reviewed at NYT, New Republic, FAIR, Times Literary Supplement, Irish Times, and more; I've discussed the themes on numerous podcasts, CNN, and CSPAN.

The response is heartening—people want to know more about how Silicon Valley is controlling speech.

What would you call it when a man in his 50s spends time convincing an 18 year old girl to sleep with him when she turns 19, @olbermann.bsky.social?

Who in 2028 is going to beat her out for the nomination
It's quite possible, you can't rule it out, that this whole MTG thing is an act: she's gonna run for Senator, she'll primary him if he tries for a third term, she'll primary his successor, she wants to reap the whirlwind when Trump is history and that is a huge opportunity for any opportunist

Pointing out that Jon didn’t disclose his wife’s work related to charter schools in his articles advocating for charter schools = “conspiracy theories”

I loved his arm. I hated the idea of an intruder therein.
The head of health services in the United States, letting parasitic lampreys bite his arms for some godforsaken reason.

Some news: I was let go as EIC of Splinter as it's getting downsized and rolled into Jezebel. I'll still write there a couple times a week as Editor at Large.

The current period in history is defined by people with power seeing a system as it exists, asking no questions about how it got that way, and assuming they can change everything about it with no impact to how it operates

An editor at Suncoast Searchlight, an investigative outlet, inserted AI hallucinated quotes into stories and after reporters sent a letter to the publication’s board, the editor fired one of the reporters.

Florida nonprofit news reporters ask board to investigate their editor’s AI use
Suncoast Searchlight’s four reporters told the board their editor-in-chief was using AI editing tools and inserting hallucinations into drafts. The next day, one of the reporters was fired.

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

Tomorrow on Posting Through It, we've got another installment in our longform "Who the Hell" biographical series. On this one, we unpack Matt Taibbi -- a man who threw away a great reputation to chase clicks/cash as a crank blogger.

When hackers target healthcare systems, medical devices can be high-impact casualties.

The tech has led to advances in care and diagnostic success, but also increased potential vulnerabilities.

“you can be disappeared”

this is actually happening to people irl in this country, getting a temporary suspension from Bluesky is not the same thing. grow up
BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.
