Logging In

Kali graduates from the water cooler and joins Techie at the mic for a deeper conversation about  who gets to be considered “press” in 2026 . They start with  Don Lemon’s arrest after livestreaming a disrupted church service  and ask the uncomfortable question: if a legacy journalist can get charged, what does that mean for creators, podcasters, and citizens recording history in real time?  From t...

In this episode of  Logging In , Techie and Luna react to Tyler Oliveira’s viral video portraying a Jewish community through a sensational and confrontational lens. Rather than focusing on clicks or outrage, they slow the conversation down to examine what happens when influencer-driven “investigative journalism” strips away context, history, and responsibility. They break down who Tyler Oliveira i...

In Episode 010 of  Logging In , Techie and Luna dig into Apple’s evolving relationship with creators — and what happens when professional tools, subscriptions, and AI begin reshaping how creative work gets done. The conversation starts with Apple’s new creator-focused offerings and recurring subscription model, raising familiar concerns about affordability, access, and whether these tools genuinel...

In Episode 009 of  Logging In , Techie and Luna kick off the year with CES season — and the headline they didn’t expect: LEGO stepping on stage to announce a new “smart brick.” It’s screen-free and powered by proximity tech, but it still raises a big question: does adding lights and sounds make creativity better… or does it train kids to expect the toy to do the imagining for them? From there, the...

What are we actually learning when stories go viral — and who decides what counts as “evidence”? In Episode 008 of  Logging In , Techie and Luna unpack a viral video by content creator  Nick Shirley , who accused Somali-owned daycare centers in Minnesota of fraud, using a misspelled word on a childcare sign as a key signal of alleged illegitimacy. Rather than adjudicating guilt or innocence, the e...

Technology often presents itself as helpful — crowdsourcing answers, finding discounts, filling in gaps where systems fall short. But what happens when that help causes harm? In Episode 007 of  Logging In , Techie and Luna unpack two very different stories with the same underlying question. First, they reflect on how Reddit’s role in investigations has changed over time, comparing the Boston Marat...

Some weeks don’t leave much room for headlines, hot takes, or polished conversations. In Episode 006 of  Logging In , Techie and Luna take a quieter approach, processing local events and the emotional weight that comes with living online during moments of real-world violence. Rather than diving into a specific tech topic, the episode becomes a check-in — about how constant notifications, breaking...

You open the same shopping app, add the same items, and somehow end up with a different total than someone else. In Episode 005 of  Logging In , Techie and Luna break down how shopping apps quietly personalize prices, fees, and promotions based on who you are, where you live, and what the algorithms think you’ll tolerate. From Instacart and social-driven pricing to loyalty programs, surge fees, an...

Cyber Monday is supposed to be the biggest sales day of the year — unless the platform you rely on goes dark. In Episode 004 of  Logging In , Techie and Luna unpack a global Shopify outage that locked small businesses out of their own stores during Cyber Monday, while corporate messaging and scheduled posts carried on like nothing was wrong. From stalled checkouts and inaccessible admin panels to...

In Episode 003 of  Logging In , Techie and Luna dig into Apple’s rare confirmation of layoffs, the growing pressure to upgrade devices that still work, and the creeping sense that users are now adapting to systems instead of systems adapting to people. What used to feel intuitive now feels exhausting, and what once “just worked” increasingly comes with friction, nudges, and compromises. The conver...

In Episode 002 of  Logging In , Techie and Luna dig into a growing online trend where creators promise to pay off debt, fund goals, or perform stunts one penny at a time for every new follower. What starts as a clever engagement hack quickly turns into a bigger conversation about algorithm pressure, burnout, and the strange economics of attention. From student loans and monetized empathy to why pl...
