Social media algorithms push rage and division to keep us scrolling. Here’s how the business model works—and the law that allows it to continue. #Algorithms #SocialMedia #Radicalization #PoliticalViolence #TechPolicy #Section230
I sure hope this is the case! I’m afraid we have to be way more vigilant than we have been so far. Hope this was the tipping point we needed.
There's nothing better than not knowing where a movie I'm watching is taking me — except watching it and then having so much to say and think about it for days on end. The layers are copious, the messages are uncomfortable and the observations are sobering. #Eddington #movies #film #moviemovies
Dear every politician,
I would read your emails if you actually gave some quick and important updates containing insight into your progress and positions. But the formulaic and pressure-filled donation request emails are all getting "unsubscribe" responses from me every single time.
Hi @bsky.app peeps!
I almost made a thoughtful post to Facebook, then realized I just don’t like Facebook. So, how are all of you doing???

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.
Went for a double feature today …The Phoenetic Scheme and 28 Days Later. The verdict? Yes, I have amazing taste in movies. The diamond-in-the-rough was definitely 28 Years. I am pretty sure I’ve never cried in a “zombie movie” before. But it’s much more than that.

Proof that not ALL men are unevolved. This is so deep, insightful, and honest. A beautiful conversation between two comedy greats. If more of us understood people as well as they do, we would be in great shape. #trevornoah #jonstewart

#LA
This is a map of downtown LA from the 6-10 USA Today.

Note the scale: This *entire* map is barely over 2 miles wide (2.12...)

@mayor.lacity.gov Mayor Karen Bass keeps saying how small the footprint of affected areas actually is.

So show it with a picture.

It only covers a few city blocks.

I’m curious! Sending an email now. 😊
The last 3 episodes of The studio are a delightful orchestration of escalating hilarity. The previous 7 episodes are fun enough to be worth sitting through to get to this finale. 🤣✨✨

I’m watching 2073 and it’s hard for me to believe it will actually take that long. It feels right around the corner, this imminently dystopian reality that has already begun.

“Monty Python and the Holy Grail” turns 50 so I decided to write about it, an exercise as misguided as Arthur’s search for the grail itself. And I still don’t know the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow!

Analysis | ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ turns 50 but still hasn’t grown up
The movie changed comedy forever. More importantly, it made us ask: What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Book banners cost this library over $100,000 of your tax dollars.

The library moved books to “social sections” in response to the demands of book banners based on their "extreme and malevolent view of the Bible” and violated the 1st Amendment.

The legal fees now exceed $575,000.

County residents urged the quorum court not to make the library pay the legal fees, saying those who lost the case should have to pay for it.

I was captivated by this painting last year in Paris. It’s amazing.
How long until we have musicians, poets, and artists on trial for subversive beliefs?
