  • A couple things that stand out to me, with emphasis added.

    Bringing opportunity back to these hard-hit places and enabling more Americans to stay and raise families where their roots are won’t reverse the toxic impacts of social media, disrupt the right-wing media machine, or end our political polarization, but it’s a step in the right direction.

    In his advisory, Murthy offers other recommendations for rebuilding social connection and cohesion. They include pro-family policies such as paid leave, and investments in public transit and community infrastructure that help people connect with one another in real life, not just online. He has also called for stronger and more sophisticated oversight and regulation of tech companies. In particular, there is an urgent need for more protections for kids on social media.

    I love reading about teenagers turning to old-school flip phones so they’re no longer at the mercy of giant tech firms and hidden algorithms.

    I’m getting big “Think of the children, we must regulate social media” vibes here.

  • I don’t mind conflicts with the prime timeline as long as they establish this takes place in an alternate timeline. The problem is they are insisting this is the prime timeline.

    Spock, Uhura, and Kirk all knowing La’an makes Space Seed not make sense. They should have immediately figured out who Khan was once they knew his name and that he was a product of selective breeding. Also, Arena makes it very clear that it was their first encounter with the Gorn.
