      An unboycottable list—good luck avoiding Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Google, Meta, and Microsoft unless you go live in a cabin in the woods buying nothing and using no technology

      I spoke to Adriana Stephan for New America's report on AI deepfake pornography being used against women in politics.
This is a serious problem that disproportionately affects women in politics, and I'm glad to see research go towards addressing it.

      I wrote about stunt influencer “Lil Tay” joining OnlyFans days after she turned 18, sparking calls to ban the platform. It’s a typical internet outrage cycle, fueled in part by the manosphere, that deflects from the real villains of misogyny and child exploitation.

When a child star joins OnlyFans
          The Lil Tay saga is intentionally hard to follow, making it perfect outrage fodder.

      Some people feel the weather in their bones. A storm rolls in and so do headaches.
For years, this phenomenon was dismissed as imagination or coincidence.
Now, with sharper tools and more data, researchers are taking weather-related symptoms seriously.

If you feel the weather in your bones, this might be why
