@csittenfeld.bsky.social is, as always, brave, honest, and funny as she revisits her 2015 @nytimes.com essay from a very different vantage point. I Lol'd at: "Several friends have told me I’m the only middle-aged divorced woman they know who still dates men." www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/o...

Seeing mostly positive coverage of Google's "Preferred Sources" feature, including nudges from publishers I respect, so I guess we're all so worried about AI slop we've decided to stop worrying about echo chambers and filter bubbles. (And Google has decided to stop doing the thing it was built for.)

In a delightfully contrarian article for @newyorker.com , Daniel Immerwahr argues (persuasively!) that our panic over attention spans is just the latest episode in a long history of hand-wringing over what people are paying attention TO. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

What if the Attention Crisis Is All a Distraction?
From the pianoforte to the smartphone, each wave of tech has sparked fears of brain rot. But the problem isn’t our ability to focus—it’s what we’re focussing on.
