Our notesLight lane: written from the triage title, author and description only; nothing fetched, no source text saved, no quotations. A person should read the source before this is published. The feed title carries the author's name after a vertical bar. The description mentions public worry about phones, loneliness and AI, and the release of The Social Reckoning, which prompts questions about Meta, but cites no studies.
