@hels.bsky.social loved your Bong review. Must go! I used to be an exec at Food Network 25+ years ago & I loved finding places like that to tell stories about.

@aestallings.bsky.social professor, I sent an email message to you through your website. Is that the best place to contact or is BlueSky better? Good luck on the big zoom meeting and glad the earthquake was minor!

“The use of ignorance to establish oneself as a greater authority than the expert” is something I’ve seen as a problem for a long time, but I’ve never seen it expressed as well as it is in this essay.

Statement from @wgaeast.bsky.social @wgawest.bsky.social Fact: on July 15, Stephen Colbert called the 60 Minutes settlement a “big fat bribe” to bag the Paramount-Skydance merger. Fact: on July 17, Paramount canceled the Colbert Show. We call on NYS AG Letitia James to investigate.

Worthy piece on wondering what it could look like to not cede young men to a conservative media ecology. @ser1897.bsky.social makes a case that maybe we don’t need a mirror-world Rogan but an unapologetically political but not only political liberal space where men want to inhabit.
