Everything is now metrics, and we can't stop counting them and tracking them, but what do we lose out on when we become obsessed with numbers? @micahloewinger.bsky.social spoke with philosopher @add-hawk.bsky.social about the nuances we miss when we focus solely on screen time.
"We need to get rid of this talk that we're somehow this exceptional nation chosen by God,” @esglaude.bsky.social told @brookegladstone.bsky.social. “We need to grow up. We can't grow up if you don't admit who and what you are.”

MAGA is in crisis! @brookegladstone.bsky.social sits down with @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social to discuss how the growing fractures in the Republican party over Israel and the Iran war are part-policy, part-divergent Christian theologies.

"When creators on platforms are talking about what's happening in the world, they are talking about the work of journalists that are going out and doing reporting,” @hankgreen.bsky.social said in a conversation with @micahloewinger.bsky.social.
Join @micahloewinger.bsky.social and @eloise-b.bsky.social for a deep dive into our latest series — American Emergency: The Movement to Kill FEMA. They’ll be talking about how they make a big investigative series like this and share extras from their reporting that didn’t make it into the show.

It's easy to laugh at the conspiracy theories around FEMA, but when @micahloewinger.bsky.social looked into it, the suspicion around the agency made a lot more sense. “This was an agency driven by paranoia,” Micah said in a recent interview with @hankgreen.bsky.social.

The Russian term “Budgetniki” or people employed by the state, came up in our podcast this week. Came to mind when we saw this headline:
