Be kind to our future robot overlords! My latest for the Boston Globe on why it's best to be polite, for all of us...
As artificial intelligence bots and we humans learn to manage one another, @LinRod writes, perhaps the best approach is the simplest: Just be kind.

Just woke up to the fact that I’ve been referring to “trichotillomania” as “trichomonaisis” for the last, oh, ever, and I cannot stop laughing. 🤣🤣
Hi, all! I wanted to share again this project, perhaps the most significant of my career. #lesslethal weapons may not reliably kill people, but they certainly have the power to destroy lives.

Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. have used projectiles like rubber bullets as a less-lethal alternative, but they have also been linked to traumatic brain injuries, blindings and death: opb.org/article/2023/01/23/a…

Less-lethal munitions getting their day in (a Texas) court soon. Listen to @OPBTOL talk with @LongLead's @LinRod about her six-part, multimedia feature on these deadly police tools, "The People vs. Rubber Bullets."

This has been a project two years in the making and I am tremendously proud of it. Thank you, @LongLead, for making it happen:

Why has no one started a True Lies-themed pie company called True Pies? Because think of the ‘90s film reference possibilities! Just think…
My latest!

“Just breastfeed” is a cruel suggestion to those suffering through this formula shortage and grossly misunderstands who uses formula and why. I wrote about it for @glamourmag glamour.com/story/formula-sh…
Very exciting!!
