Late to the party, but am desperate for a season two of the Screen Sense Podcast! Especially in light of the new meta case and every new development regarding a social media ban. Would love to hear more from you guys @peteetchells.bsky.social @shuhbillskee.bsky.social. Really enjoyed it so far!

We’re back to the “hundreds of psychological studies cannot all be wrong, educate yourself”-stage of discourse. I recommend that onlookers to this discourse pick some of the cited studies & see how compelling they find them, wrt causal identification & strength of statistical evidence.>
