Mass shooting at Brown U.: When gun heartbreak comes home | Will Bunch A mass shooting at my alma mater is a gutting reminder that no one is safe until we tackle America's gun crisis.

A mass shooting at my alma mater Brown University hit hard, proving no community is safe from senseless violence in a land with more guns than people

Trump added insult to injury by claiming there is "nothing you can do." We can do a lot about guns

My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/brow...

As a person with PTSD from witnessing a shooting murder: News outlets *autoplaying* mass shooting footage on social media without CWs are doing so much harm. We have consumed so violent content that’s deeply corrosive to the brain. It’s our responsibility to ensure we disseminate it appropriately.

The End of Cheap Airplane Tickets? How can you outsmart algorithms that predict with +95% certainty the most you're willing to pay for your airplane trip? You can't. Welcome to the future.

"Surveillance software (which always existed) and AI (which is new) are now taking the fun out of bargain hunting by making my searches more 'efficient' and supposedly more closely tailored to what I want, and what I’m willing to pay."

People who like to accuse others of committing 'fallacies' should discover the #enthymeme. And once they do, they might expand their understanding of so-called 'dog whistle politics'.

An amusing thing about ChatGPT is how all the human-produced word sequences it has absorbed have led it to predict--correctly--that the most common way a human will respond when asked to perform a boring, pointless task is to say "OK, sure, I'm on it" and then not do the thing.

One of genealogies of Media Studies is that many early methods began as advocacy strategies of 1940s media reform, in the attempt to change broadcast regulation to allow for more educational channels. Put differently, Media Studies originated as a research movement to build US Public Media.
