The most thorough reporting I’ve seen on how Chat GPT is affecting some people’s mental health, (and what the company is doing about it). Great work from @kashhill.bsky.social and @Jen Valentino www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/t...
@micahloewinger.bsky.social never miss an episode of OTM - it’s consistently excellent.
Well deserved!
Tramell Tillman of “Severance” became the first Black man to win outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. As a first-time nominee, Tillman used his acceptance speech to pay tribute to his mother: “My first acting coach was tough. But all great mothers are.” https://wapo.st/48f8MDY
Not sure why. Burke knows her stuff.
From @theathletic.com: ESPN has reportedly demoted Doris Burke from its NBA Finals team and promoted Tim Legler. Burke was on the Finals’ team for two years, becoming the first woman in history to be an analyst on one of the traditional four major American sports. nyti.ms/4oYsE46

Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death. Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...
Can’t wait for the next episode of Hard Fork with @kevinroose.com @caseynewton.bsky.social with special guest @edzitron.com /s

People are having very strange conversations with ChatGPT, in which they discover secret cabals or conspiracies or that we are all in fact living in The Matrix. It sends these people into delusional spirals. Then ChatGPT tells them to email me about it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it
Really sucks that Mozilla is killing Pocket. www.theverge.com/news/672924/...

We put some of your Qs to Bluesky CEO @jay.bsky.team on this week’s @onthemedia.bsky.social (prod. @mollyfication.bsky.social) about future of edit button, private accounts, ads on Bluesky, and whether she calls posts “skeets.” These Q+As not in the final edit 🧵 www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

'Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work.'
The story of Victoria Woodhull and her sister, Tennessee Claflin, is a very interesting one.
NPR animator and illustrator Jackie Lay tells the story of Victoria Woodhull, who wrote a letter to the New York Herald in 1870 announcing she was running for president — 50 years before women would be allowed to vote.
