    Welp this is still happening. Our reporting today reflects that Trump has rejected R maneuvers to offer something that would amend 230 & wants a total 230 repeal (clearly).

    This is a picture of a research session by the Children's Television Workshop in 1969, as they worked on an episode of Sesame Street. They used to show every episode to kids before broadcast, to make sure they were doing it right. That screen in the corner? That's The Distractor.

    This "primer" from on how to think about screentime and tech "addiction" is excellent, expertly walking the line between moral-panic over-reaction and blindered techno-optimism. It's also a marvel of brevity

    The right-wing Heritage Foundation, after examining 36 years of mail-in ballots, found only 1,285 cases of voter fraud out of nearly two billion votes cast — a rate of .0000007 percent. That’s about the same probability as being hit by an asteroid.

    "beyond the scope of our models" -- a phrase for this moment

    As the winds weaken aloft, gravity will take over as the primary vertical transport of the smoke. Suspended smoke will descend closer to the surface and could lead to darker skies and worsening air quality today. This is beyond the scope of our models so we rely on your reports!
