1/ I learned *so much* from listening to @alibreland and @Fer_Echavarri discuss both the historic forms of extremism that are merging and recombining right now and...GULP...the purchase it is getting among Gen Zers. apple.co/3fIzWrt
2/ The other part of our mini series on extremists and Jan 6 insurrectionists is @smencimer's reporting on the radicalization of Stanford-educated doctor/lawyer Simone Gold: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

.@msjpauly has a big investigation into the shady science and pitch of air-purifier companies that every parent/teacher/school administrator/building manager/education and environmental reporter/resident of fire-prone states will want to read: motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
A lot of what is being touted as cutting edge and "space-age" airpurifier tech has dubious efficacy—and in some instances may be making the air MORE unhealthy. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…

1/ We ran really good piece by @rowanjacobsen on the lab leak theory a year ago, that also got into how Trump's racism was undermining attempts to accurately assess—and also his administration's failure to heed warnings about such possibilities.

motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
2/ The other reason that people maybe went too far in discounting any *possibility* of a lab leak was that Tom Cotton and others were conflating an accidental leak of coronaviruses being studied out of prevention with a leak of a designed bioweapon. No.
3/ Whether or not there was a leak, whether or not that could ever be/been ascertained even with full transparency, what we HAVE learned is that freighting an investigation with racism and jingoism does not a good investigation make.

If they let her go b/c of conservatives freaking out* about college activism then that's just insane

Also days after their Gaza HQ was bombed

*and by freaking out, I mean pretending to freak out. Newsrooms need to stop falling prey to asymetrical bad-faith social media warfare
Did the @AP get frogmarched by the Stanford Republican club? jeebus.
"The editor said I was not going to get in any trouble because everyone had opinions in college," Wilder said. "Then came the rest of the week."

If this account is accurate, not good actions by the @ap

Are any of the Peter Pan movies good. (And don’t say the original animation, soooo racist.)
Dunno that I’ve ever seen a spread this large
Did anyone watch the rushes of this movie ?

Elon Musk dressing like a Bond villain is ...
God he is just the worst.
Claiming that his tendency to,say, accuse a person rescuing trapped kids of being a pedophile on neurodiversity is quite something.

The principal that we all thought was creepy to us 7th-8th grade girls is in jail now.

Trust your instincts.
here's that principal. it wasn't until a former student ran into him teaching at her own daughter's (different) school that he was finally investigated and prosecuted: washingtonpost.com/local/crime/fo…
and, when he finally was convicted, Ken Starr, Charlie Gibson, Nat Geo CEO/EIC Gilbert M. Grosvenor, and other luminaries pleaded for clemency. KNOWING HE MAY HAVE MOLESTED IF NOT THEIR OWN KIDS THEN THEIR FRIENDS.
