Parents have debated the risks and benefits of publishing pictures of their children online for decades. But with A.I. apps generating fake nudes, amid other privacy concerns, “sharenting” is far riskier than it was just a few years ago, the columnist Brian X. Chen writes.

Tech execs could teach a masterclass on weak writing. It’s not enough to call an operating system powerful; instead, they have to say it’s “stunningly powerful.” Stunningly replaces shockingly as the adverb that only techies use. “Magical” has yet to be dethroned by another meaningless adjective

Last of Us Season 2 is some of the best television to air since Breaking Bad. Just phenomenal. We’re only on episode 2 and the show has already exceeded the game in terms of storytelling.

Given recent events, now is the best time to watch Princess Mononoke remastered in 4K on IMAX. Saw it last night and it was absolutely stunning even though I’d seen the movie at least a dozen times.

I’m back from paternity leave! My column this week is about “best baby gear” lists and how we should ignore them because there is no best baby gear www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/t...

The Baby Tech That One Parent Found Helped the Most (Gift Article)

The Snoo. The Nanit. The Hatch Rest. Many lists of baby gear mandate certain items, but our columnist wondered if it would be better to chuck those lists out.
