Clickbait has saturated the market. Cheap drive-by discourse is a dime a dozen. People are weary of autoplay nonsense and being yelled at by the Internet. That stock is falling.
What stock is rising? Thoughtfulness. Paragraphs. Fresh insight. Very soon attention farming will be seen the way ad banks are today.
I truly believe this.

What has happened to Alan and his book is beyond the pale. For a publisher to move a newly contracted book to print-on-demand without notifying the author is a complete breach of faith. The decent thing to do would be to admit fault and return rights to the author.
I am so disappointed for Alan and so very disappointed in @OxUniPress for how they have treated Alan, his readers, and lovers of all things Dorothy Sayers. This biography of DS 1/2

Every pro sports league needs to realize that the gambling app era makes stuff like this look 100x worse than before. Before a couple years ago, a ref like this just seemed camera-greedy. Now, it looks like he's trying to tell us something.
The NFL said it is reviewing the situation in which an official appears to use profanity at Cardinals TE Trey McBride.
The NFLPA Executive Director JC Tretter called for the NFL to hold the official accountable.

The consent ethic can sue frat boys when they abuse an inebriated woman. But it can't actually transform the reasons either the boys or woman find themselves in those situations. There is no secular remedy to rape culture. digitalliturgies.net/p/there…

Police were able to extract data from Caleb Flynn's Airpods and Apple Watch that contradicted his story that he was sleeping right before a burglar invaded and shot his wife.
It's nearly impossible to imagine how anyone in this era of technology could get away with a crime.
Caleb’s Apple Watch recorded steps from 1:19am - 2:28am when there was a sudden spike in his steps starting at 2:18am.
Caleb originally reported in his 2:31am call to 911, and to police and family, that he’d been sound asleep.
Game over.

Why is it important to let principles, and not tribal alignment, dictate your political thinking? One reason: You might end up labeling a movie like "It's a Wonderful Life" as anti-American propaganda (like the FBI did) smithsonianmag.com/smart-new…

I'm a card carrying, book-writing AI-skeptic. That said, translation seems like one of the more straightforwardly positive possibilities for the technology.

No doubt human judgment is an important component of translation. That being said, AI tools seem capable of producing generally *reliable* English translations of non-English text. This can be an example of technology removing barriers to true, good, and beautiful things.

An underrated reason for churches to have home groups is that if you don't have them, the odds are really good that your members are not actually spending any time with each other outside church. derekthompson.org/p/the-deat…

There's a story about the Church and therapy that says everything was fine until Freud came along and then the therapeutic triumphed. It's a bit more complicated than that. My brief take on the history of the Church & therapy for @firstthingsmag:
