Don Bolles wanted to be the best reporter in Arizona. That was all he wanted. It had always been enough for him. Above all, Bolles was a shrewd reporter, a writer of cautionary tales.

Can you really trust that you have not been unwittingly indoctrinated into a Q-Anon rabbit hole?  Do the people running the show still follow the same lofty altruistic goals they set out to achieve with their apps and platforms, or have they become the dark forces influencing every decision we ...
