Don’t let your kids on Snapchat.
If your child uses #Snapchat, you should know what Snap's own employees and consultants say about the many ways Snapchat harms children. We collect stunning quotations from them, from the many legal briefs, on my (free) Substack, After Babel:

Nice to see something positive. Hopefully other states follow suit.

Five years since COVID, Louisiana's readers are thriving. This is their secret.
In 2019, Louisiana's fourth graders ranked 50th in the country for reading. Now, they're 16th. Here's how the state, and one rural district, pulled it off.

Not good.
A stunning essay in the @financialtimes.com on the international decline in the ability to read, reason, focus, and learn new things. It began or accelerated in the early 2010s. It's hitting teens AND adults. Self-report and objective scores.

Someone recently asked about doppler simulation in UE5, specifically asking if the old SoundCue node was still how to do things even with MetaSounds--no.

Instead there's a super fast way using Source Effects and a slightly less faster way manually in MetaSounds.
