Researching and reporting my story about how truly horrible Facebook has become genuinely rattled me, and changed how I looked at the internet permanently. It's important to understand how messed up they are.

Instead, we should look to history, path dependency, institutional structures, politics, and economics. For Tokyo, I think urban planning—walkability, mixed use neighborhoods, affordable real estate—all contribute to the richer media and commercial systems that feed into culture.

NEW: USPS letter carriers tell us they’re sleeping in their vehicles and bathing at union halls because they get paid poverty wages.
They were promised a historic new contract this year. Instead, they were offered 1.3% raises.
Now they’re revolting.

Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.
This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.
