the media industry is opaque and constantly shifting. One effect I see again and again though is that people assume there’s something more sinister going on when stories they (correctly!) imagine would have been covered in 2015, 2016, or 2017 don’t get reported today. the boring.

the obituaries on the cash transfer movement are premature. there are discussions ongoing now for new programs, and in some cases, at potentially much larger scale than has ever been tested in the US.

to clarify the fourth screenshot where she's says "I know you're older" was not to me (she has not engaged with me at all!) it was to @benryanwriter who was asking her about (still-then-available) Instagram link.
@TaylorLorenz From what I understand, I'm about 3-5 years older than you, @TaylorLorenz. In any case, if you are doing the Bark Phone promo for free, why do you still have a promo link for it on your Instagram page? Typically, such links would prompt a commission upon sale. Also, why did you

haha okay this is all insane, but just to set the record straight (because she's now deleted her Tiktok video!). Taylor posted a video on her account that she labeled as "#ad" in her caption, she said in the video she's "proud to partner with" Bark, she explicitly advised parents

“Nostalgia is, counterintuitively, a future-oriented endeavor. We draw on it to resolve our dissatisfactions in the present and to move forward with hope and determination. Yes, it can be indulged. But for most people, most of the time, it is a stabilizing and energizing force.”.
In my latest for @nytopinion, I discuss Gen Z historical nostalgia and what our Human Flourishing Lab team @ArchbridgeInst has discovered about it.
