My toddler’s new favorite phrase: “Meyer, Meyer, put your pants on fire!”

I don’t know who Meyer is, but I feel bad for him.

How do we preserve the beauty, joy, and vitality of language with AI’s tendency to make everything sound bland? That’s what today’s episode is all about: shows.acast.com/dispatches-j... #podcast #AI #WritingCommunity

RKF Jr. is a dangerous man who is determined to abuse his authority to act on truly terrifying conspiracy theories and disinformation—leaving us unprepared for the next deadly pandemic and snuffing out potential cures while he’s at it.

My full statement.

Occasionally I post an invitation for people with crowdfunding appeals to put them in the comments of a post, and guess what: This is that occasion! If you have (or know someone who has) a crowdfunding appeal, share it here. Everyone else, check them out and it feels right to you, give a little.

It might seem obvious, but you do a lot more good for media literacy by giving kids books that they actually want to read. Because they will *actually read them*. You can insist on the classics and congratulate yourself for your fine taste, but kids don't learn anything if they never open the book.
