Another great read. I don't think everyone understands that a lot of the Internet is this QVC like selling. restofworld.org/2025/indones...
Livestream shopping stars face off against trolls, hagglers, and AI rivals
Livestream sellers have built booming careers. Now, bots are threatening to steal their spotlight and their customers.

Super interesting read. restofworld.org/2025/ai-chin...
AI is reshaping childhood in China
Government support and tech companies’ drive for profit fuel a rush to integrate AI tools, from robot tutors to chatbots, in education and caretaking.

I heard one song off the trainspotting soundtrack and went on a bender thinking... Did everyone else love this album as much as I did?

Basically every high school kid in Seattle walked out to protest down at the central district school office, protesting 2 lunches instead of 1. The district listened and stopped 2 lunches. These kids are so proud and so am I. (Also SPS has a civic engagement excused absence!)

Any suggestions for a more recent update that is VERY accessible, that is an umbrella review of studies related to social media and well-being? Basically a 2025 version of this: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Again, VERY VERY VERY accessible.
Advancing our understanding of the associations between social media use and well-being

Great video essay from @taylorlorenz.bsky.social on surveillance capitalism - posted in late July 2025, so up-to-date. Students will like this because the framing is "is your phone 'listening' to you?" Looks like this will be a series, which is great! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VL1...

Apparently Claude likes you too. ;) (when I asked about assigning the podcast episode versus the Atlantic article and how they'd fit into the existing material)
