Podcast appearances and mentions of abby ohlheiser

Halloween calls to mind graveyards and the walking dead, so, naturally, Short Wave wanted to know what happens when you donate your body to real scientists. Host Aaron Scott talked with journalist Abby Ohlheiser about their reporting trips to a Forensic Osteology Research Station and an anatomy lab to learn how donated bodies help everyone from surgeons to law enforcement to forensic archeologists do their jobs. And while this episode might not be for the squeamish, Abby says these spaces of death are not morbid. Instead, they are surprisingly peaceful. You can read Abby's full article in the MIT Technology Review.

Welcome to Season 8! This season we're doing things a little differently: each episode, we're going to talk to both experts and to friends of mine with lived experience in the same topic. Get to know me, get to know my buddies from my real life! Our first topic is monetizing fake news, data voids, and how ads work for Facebook and Google misinformation. Gaby talks to MIT Review reporter Abby Ohlheiser about how people make millions of dollars -- merch, speaker fees, Patreons, etc. -- by spreading misinformation. Then, Gaby interviews their friends Ali Segel and Melissa Stetten, co-hosts of the conspiracy theory podcast Web Crawlers, about ethically profiting from crime and conspiracy. Plus, why Flat Earthers are ~the worst!~ This episode includes discussion of suicide, child porn, cults, police, Alex Jones, transphobia, medical conspiracies, and conspiracies surrounding school shootings.

U.S. President Donald Trump put TikTok on the clock this week. On Monday, Trump said that if Microsoft, or another U.S. company doesn’t take control of the Chinese-owned TikTok by Sept. 15 - he’ll shut down the hugely popular social media app in the U.S. Trump’s administration has expressed concerns about China’s influence and potential to demand data collected from the app - concerns that have also weighed on the diverse communities who use it. Today on Front Burner, MIT Technology Review senior editor Abby Ohlheiser tells us how TikTok users are grappling with the newest threats to their platform, and what’s at stake for them.

This week is a real good! Forget last week. This is prime time. We've got Ikran Dahir, reporter for BuzzFeed News, talking about a mysterious countdown the K-Pop group BTS is doing on Twitter and we've got Abby Ohlheiser, internet culture reporter for the MIT Technology Review, talking about how she can't stop watching real-time YouTube reenacts of famous shipwrecks.

It's on now! Speaker Nancy Pelosi has instructed House committee chairmen to move forward with articles of impeachment against President Trump. The timeline will move fast as articles could be ready next week with a vote before Christmas. President Trump for his part says he wants to get it over quickly and move on the trial in the Senate. Toluse Olorunnipa, White House reporter at The Washington Post, joins us for how impeachment is ramping up. Next, the huge success of ‘RuPaul's Drag Race' has launched dozens of stars and now Hollywood is catching on to the booming drag queen economy. Drag queens have come up from primarily doing nightclub shows to selling out arenas, getting on the Billboard charts, and even doing red-carpet appearances for films like ‘Frozen 2.' Katie Kilkenny, associate editor at the Hollywood Reporter, joins us for how the queens are blowing up. Finally, as internet culture has become everyday culture, and we are living in the days of viral everything, many people have come to love viral pets even though they have never met them. And what happens when those animals pass away? We also grieve their deaths. Most recently, cute cat Lil Bub passed away and the internet world mourned. Abby Ohlheiser, reporter at the Washington Post, joins us for more.

The bill now moves to a floor vote and it now has the support of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai gets NRA award The National Rifle Association awarded FCC Chairman Ajit Pai with a “Charlton Heston Courage Under Fire” award. The NRA wanted to recognize Pai for enduring the incredible public outcry over the push to repeal the net neutrality rules. FCC's net neutrality repeal published in federal register The FCC's repeal of the net neutrality rules was published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, giving Congress 60 days to block the repeal under the Congressional Review Act before the first few rules take effect. Senators who support the measure to block the repeal need one more vote. Eric Limer reports in Popular Mechanics. Meanwhile, a coalition of 22 state attorneys general have now refiled their lawsuits to block the repeal as well. Second Circuit: FTC can move forward with AT&T throttling suit The Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that a lawsuit brought by the Federal Trade Commission against AT&T claiming the company throttled customers can move forward. The FTC alleges that AT&T slowed down customers' data even though the customers had unlimited data plans. As Harper Neidig notes in the Hill, the decision is seen as affirming the FTC's role as enforcer of net neutrality principles. Intel concealed chip flaws for months Intel concealed the Meltdown and Spectre security flaws from US officials until they were made public some six months after Google's parent company, Alphabet, told them about them. Intel now faces 32 pending lawsuits related to the flaws, as well as an insider-training investigation concerning the company's CEO, Brian Krzanich, who sold a chunk of company stock in the fourth quarter of last year, after the security flaws were known. Tom Warren has the story in the Verge. NLRB: Google's firing of James Damore was legal The U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) found that Google was justified in firing former Google computer engineer James Damore. Despite all the recent so-called research about a supposed lack of “viewpoint diversity” in Silicon Valley, and all of the histrionics around high profile individuals leaving Silicon Valley because they don't feel free to express themselves—the NLRB found that Damore's derogatory comments in a memo about how women's biological traits affect their work performance were “unprotected discriminatory comments”. Edward Moyer has a report in CNET. In another case, an employee who criticized Damore, whom Google also subsequently fired, is also now suing the company for letting him go. The employee, Tim Chevalier, who is queer and transgender, posted that Damore's memo was misogynistic and also that “'white boys' expect privilege and feel threatened if they don't receive it.'” Nearly half of parents worry about kids' mobile addition Forty-seven percent of parents are worried that their kids are addicted to mobile devices. That's according to a new survey from Common Sense Media and Survey Monkey. But 89% believe that they are in control of their kids' device use. Brett Molina reports in USA Today. SpaceX moved forward on test of high speed internet from space SpaceX launched two experimental satellites that will test the internet service it wants to provide to everyone on the planet via 10,000 low-orbiting satellites whizzing around the earth at over 200 miles per hour. The project has FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's blessing. Pai urged his fellow commissioners to approve SpaceX's proposal to provide broadband worldwide. Jackie Wattles reports in CNN. Facebook plans to use postcards to verify advertiser identities Facebook announced last week that it would begin sending postcards to ad buyers in order to verify their identities. In the aftermath of revelations that Russian hackers relied extensively on Facebook to push Russian propaganda, the social media giant wants to prove to regulators and the public that they are committed to weeding out bots and fake profiles. Dustin Volz reports for Reuters. Facebook to study economic inequality  Nancy Scola reported for Politico that Facebook will now study economic inequality in the United States using its own, massive data trove. The Stanford-led team will be led by economist Raj Chetty. DC grants Elon Musk Hyperloop permit Michael Laris and Jonathan O'Connell reported for the Washington post that the Washington, D.C. government has granted Elon Musk a permit to start digging for the Hyperloop. The Hyperloop would be a vacuum-based transportation system that's capable of traveling at 670 miles per hour. Tough week for the right on social media It was a tough week last week for right-wing conservatives on social media. Luis Sanchez reports for the Hill that conservatives on Twitter have been bleeding followers since itreportedly suspended thousands of user accounts. One claimed to have lost as many as 2,000 in a single night Twitter also announced Wednesday that it will be limiting users' ability to automate and post duplicate posts across platforms and accounts. Ali Breland of the Hill reports that over at Medium, the blogging platform suspended the accounts of far-right bloggers Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec and Laura Loomer And the YouTube channel of the far right outlet InfoWars posted a conspiracy video claiming that one of the Parkland survivors was an “actor”.
