The potential for upheaval is precisely why economic elites wield AI as a weapon to threaten workers, even as we've seen time and again that AI cannot actually replace what humans do.

You can take these dynamics seriously without buying into the framing of the people doing the threatening.

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

I fear that men are about to do what men do. They are about to characterize any sober thinking about power as non-technical and therefore unserious.

We have seen this pattern over and over again in tech criticism. Women and people of color repeatedly lead on understanding tech changes.

Why fear still sells research on screen time - LSE Impact Regardless of quality research that deploys fear based framing drives public debate on screen time for children.

Highly recommend getting yourself a copy and reading it! It's got history, cultural analysis, and deep critique of family policing systems. Plus, you'll start noticing at just how many orphan narratives we use in pop culture.

ah! Love it!

I love that he read it! (And glad that you found out). I hope you got to hear how he liked your analysis of his character.

The line was also a nice connection to the burned-out caregiver from last season.

Yes, that gave me a glimmer of hope they will approach the story line well.

Heads up Adoptee Sky, re: the Pitt (very minor spoilers below):

Towards the middle of the first episode, a baby is found alone in the hospital bathroom. IMHO, it's been handled fine thus far, but I'm guessing this will be a season-long story line.

Best of luck to you and your client.

At a Video Isle, I overheard Dave Matthews apologize for returning his overdue DVDs So late.

Even better! Another example of innovative thinking without the use of AI...or CEOs.

Best use case of AI might be for CEOs who want to encourage more in-person office work...in the form of a vending machine.

oohhh noooo. A fundamental misunderstanding how well those site blockers work 😬(you provide a great example)

Digital portrait by Jen White-Johnson featuring a photo of Alice Wong, an Asian American woman with honey blonde hair. She is in a wheelchair and there is a tracheostomy at her neck connected to a ventilator. She is wearing a silky multicolored shirt and a bold red lip color. She is looking intently at the camera with the heat of a thousand suns. Behind her are red and purple flowers with a red circle in the background framing her face like a warm sun. The background of the portrait is purple.

Given the passing of disability activist and light-in-the-world Alice Wong, we at COYOTE invite people to share what she and her work meant to them. Whether you knew Alice personally, organized with her, or were simply a fan of her writing, we'd love to hear from you. (1/3)
