Whoa what the heck a wordless courier just delivered an incredible book to my home. It appears that anyone in possession of this tome is suddenly happier, more cultured, better informed, more ethical, has a higher standing among their neighbors and in society in general.

Did you know the concept of the “good” vs “bad” mother is a relatively new one? In the US, it’s only existed for about 100 years. Before that the standard was basically: don’t kill your kids. That’s it. I talked about it with @reshmasaujani.bsky.social on her podcast My So-Called Midlife:

Hey just a heads-up that I wrote an entire book about the right using the "bad mom" as a way to punish and control women and Trump using "wine mom gangs" as an insult is basically marketing my book for me www.simonandschuster.com/books/One-Ba...

It almost felt like a digital version of sexual assault": for @nymag.com I spoke to Elon’s ex Ashley St Clair and other women who have been undressed by Grok without their consent. Some of these images seemingly depict minors — and X is doing nothing about it. www.thecut.com/article/elon...

Hoping to alchemize public pain into lessons in worthiness for other women. Your voice, your time and your energy are valuable and yours to control.

Grateful to @ejdickson.bsky.social for the space and grace in this piece. And to everyone who has been so loving and supportive.

I talked to Nomiki Konst for @thecut.com about her split from former NYC mayor Bill De Blasio, who publicly cheated on her with the mayor of south Tucson. Nomiki says she and BDB talked about having a baby, and the day he told her he cheated they did a round of IVF. www.thecut.com/article/nomi...

New! We worked with the Public Interest Research Group to test a bunch of LLM-driven toys ahead of the Christmas. That sexual talking teddy bear wasn't a one-off; it turns out disturbing behavior is deeply built into these toys across the board.
AI toys for kids talk about sex and issue Chinese Communist Party talking points, tests show
New research from Public Interest Research Group and tests conducted by NBC News found that a wide range of AI toys have loose guardrails.

NEW from me: The hugely popular parenting influencer Dr. Becky coined "Deeply Feeling Kids" to describe sensitive children. But some are wondering: is she actually talking about autistic kids? And is DFK a way for parents to avoid a diagnosis? My piece for @thecut.com www.thecut.com/article/deep...
Do ‘Deeply Feeling Kids’ Really Exist?
Dr. Becky’s concept is hugely influential. But is it preventing some neurodivergent children from getting diagnoses?

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:
MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There.
A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.
