Not sure if this is sarcasm or sincere, but I will take it as sincere haha. I came back to work from parental leave and everyone had that same Studio Ghiblized image as their Slack photo, and I had no idea why. It turns out you really can unplug from social media and not miss anything of value: if it’s a big enough deal you will find out from another channel.

Why does everyone keep calling news "social media"? Have I missed a trend? Knowing what my friend Steve is up to is social media, knowing what AI is up to is news.

  I'm afraid a lot of Americans consume the news like they consume sports media. They root for their team and select a news stream that presents them with the most favorable coverage.

    As a non-American, I can assure you that's pretty much everywhere.
