  • At Waco rally, Trump defends Jan. 6 insurrectionists and blasts the prosecutors investigating him The words and images from the former president’s rally yesterday are deeply concerning. He and his antigovernment co-speakers and followers are attempting to normalize and glorify political violence. Let us all be warned. This moment is drastically different than the 2016…

  • Trump Says His Arrest Is Imminent and Calls for Protests, Echoing Jan. 6 And this is why the former president is completely unfit for any office of honor and should have no access to social media platforms.

  • Kuo: Apple to Launch Redesigned HomePod With 7-Inch Display in 2024 I really struggle with why Apple has ignored an obvious market to further embed Siri in homes around the world. No one wants to set up a Mac or iPad in their kitchen as a dedicated device anymore (if they ever did). This seems…

  • Dance Yourself Free Very cool episode of “throughline” from NPR about the origins of Chicago House music.

  • Scaling Up Media Literacy Education Is a Big Challenge: 4 Steps to Get Started Media Literacy is a hugely important skill that should be at the foundation of all curriculum around the country. I was bummed to not travel to SXSW EDU with Donnell, but it’s great to see her in print!
