    With the rise and push of AI features, it seems somewhat irresponsible to downplay how social media affects children. Yes, lots of factors are at play, but with how quickly that landscape is changing and the direction those companies are going can’t seem to stop careening towards ai-trash content saturation, it seems like downplaying that risk is a great way to make parents disengage and put kids at risk.

Ann Morgan considered herself well read — until she discovered the “massive blindspot” on her bookshelf. Amid a multitude of English and American authors, there were very few books from beyond the English-speaking world. So she set an ambitious goal: to read one book from every country in the world over the course of a year.
