I think a lot of people's fears of urban life are fed by the luxury belief that violence is about stranger danger and dark alleyways when it's more often about family and poverty. Any woman could get on the rankest subway car at 1 a.m. and statistically be safer than they are at home
Fear of the New York City subway is a mark of low moral character.

NPR and PBS' history starts in the 1920s, founded on the conviction that the general public--everyone--should have equal access to local, regional, and national news as well as educational programs such as Sesame Street. Shepperd's article offers crucial background for the battle over NPR and PBS.
As the President, FCC and Congressional Republicans consider ending public funding for NPR and PBS, a media historian revisits why public media was founded in the first place and how it contributes to equal access to information today: buff.ly/jQ1WuLf

Trump and many GOP lawmakers want to end all funding for NPR and PBS − unraveling a US public media system that took a century to build
The precursors of today’s public media programs consisted of professors giving lectures about history and finance.

ChatGPT is referring to users by their names unprompted, and some find it 'creepy' | TechCrunch
A few ChatGPT users have noticed a strange phenomenon recently: occasionally, the chatbot refers to them by name as it reasons through problems.

Hardly anyone talks about this but U.S. citizens have already been imprisoned under El Salvador's State of Exception. This is an article I translated in 2023. As far as I know, Nelson is still in prison.

For new Bluesky followers wondering about this post, the relationship between Donald Trump and pro-wrestling is something I’ve written about for a few years.
The 2024 election campaign was even more directly seeped in pro-wrestling than the 2016.

It is with profound sadness that we mourn the passing of Jonathan Sterne, an extraordinary scholar whose groundbreaking work transformed the fields of sound studies, media theory, and the cultural study of technology.
