If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

The irony of every panic that TikTok is turning the kids into transsexuals/CCP agents/terrorists is that everything we know about who is susceptible to misinformation and propaganda online suggests the kids are not, in fact, the problem

I know some people say that questioning details about horrific stories is a way of downplaying or denying the horror, but it’s really not: wartime propaganda is corrosive and insidious and a tool for manipulation, and truth is worth caring about even in the face of utter tragedy.
So yesterday, a lot of ppl shared a claim that 40 Israeli babies were decapitated at Kfar Aza, a kibbutz near Gaza. Here’s a bit of insight about how we approach a claim like that as reporters:
1) Figure out where the claim was coming from. In this case, it was a single Israeli TV reporter.

Something very strange is happening to the Web. Finding something from the past on search engines is eroding. Atemporality replaced by an immediate, constantly vanishing, consumerist hyper-present. What we thought was an infinite Borges-ian library turning into Amazon checkout with a ticking clock…
Google is changing up search. What does that mean for news publishers?
A shift to AI-generated search results will decrease the traffic that Google sends to publishers' sites, as more people get what they need straight from the Google search page instead.

I could not have predicted the rise of King Gizzard. An Australian band spins out of the 00s garage revival, pursues a GbV level of output that includes a straight up metal album, inherits the Dead/Phish fanbase, actually makes a great living making straight up rock music in 2023? Impossible
