Exactly! I’ve been trying to resist blaming them throughout the documentary but I just couldn’t. Especially at the end when they accepted to settle out of courts despite one of their daughter’s refusal because she wanted to speak out in court.
The documentary series “Bad Influence” follows the stage mothers who permitted their kids to generate content for the social-media star Piper Rockelle and for their own channels. Their aggrieved posturing “is dumbfounding,” Jessica Winter writes.
Regrets, the YouTube Moms Have a Few
The parents who exploit their kids for clicks in Netflix’s “Bad Influence” want you to think they couldn’t have known better.

Excellent piece. Anecdotally, the few people I know who are liberal leaning and voted for Trump last time had a lot of resentment about how liberal cities were managed and found that message of bringing it all down appealing for that reason. Not the only reason they voted this way but notable.
"The populist right is powered by scarcity. When there is not enough to go around, we look with suspicion on anyone who might take what we have. That suspicion is the fuel of Trump’s politics. (...)
The answer to a politics of scarcity is a politics of abundance."

There is a (good) trend toward long form content. This reflects a growing demand for nuance, depth, and substantive conversation in a world dominated by short-form, algorithm-driven snippets.

The most maddening thing about RFK is that about 30% of what he says is roughly right. Obesity is a massive epidemic because of processed foods. Sugar addiction is out of control. We should have never allowed them to co-opt this issue.
The other 70% is insane, and will get people killed.

Unpopular opinion: No, democrats shouldn’t be doing “something” about everything. This doesn’t work against this shock and awe, flood the zone approach. Try to find the real dangers in between the noise and focus on that. That’s how you’ll be effective.

It’s clear that the Republicans’ messaging is very effective. They control the narrative. Imagine if they use that messaging for a good cause like maybe gun control. I don’t think it’s the constitution stopping them. They are fine trampling on the rest of it.

The most disheartening thing about Trump’s first presidency was watching otherwise reasonable people try to convince us that the orangutan throwing around poop was actually making smart and logical arguments.
This time it’s even worse.

A favorite commission this year, a dividing cell with an extra detail. Colleagues of a retiring researcher commissioned me to add the specific structure she worked on—the spindle pole body—to the sculpture. Here it is close up, in sterling silver embedded in the bronze nuclear membrane. 🔬#SciArt

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.
