Published: Aug. 14, 2019, 4:30 p.m.

b'Taylor Lorenz just announced she is leaving her job covering internet culture for The Atlantic to join The New York Times.\\n\\n\\u201cWith technology and internet culture, I am more of an optimist than a lot of other people who cover those topics. It\\u2019s more ambiguous for me. It\'s more like, \\u2018This is the world we live in now and here are the pros and here are the cons. There are a lot of cons, but there are also these pros.\\u2019 I like how things shift and change under me. I like to see how things are constantly evolving.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n@taylorlorenz\\n\\n\\nLorenz on Longform\\n\\n\\n[01:45] Lorenz\\u2019s archive at The Atlantic \\n\\n\\n[06:15] "The Shooter\\u2019s Manifesto Was Designed to Troll" (The Atlantic \\u2022 2019)\\n\\n\\n[06:30] "Instagram Is the Internet\\u2019s New Home for Hate" (The Atlantic \\u2022 2019)\\n\\n\\n[07:50] "The Real Difference Between Creators and Influencers" (The Atlantic \\u2022 2019)\\n\\n\\n[17:15] INSTANT\\n\\n\\n[19:00] The Daily What\\n\\n\\n[21:20] "Where Everyone\\u2019s an Influencer" (The Atlantic \\u2022 2019)\\n\\n\\n[22:30] "How an App for Gamers Went Viral" (The Atlantic \\u2022 2019)\\n\\n\\n[23:50] "The Instagram Aesthetic is Over" (The Atlantic \\u2022 2019)\\n\\n\\n[35:55] "How Tea Accounts Are Fueling Influencer Feuds" (The Atlantic \\u2022 2019)\\n\\n\\n[36:00] The Shade Room\\n\\n\\n[37:00] "How DramaAlert Became the TMZ of YouTube" (Daily Beast \\u2022 2018)\\n\\n\\n[41:00] Lorenz at Mic\\n\\n\\n[46:45] "The Mysterious Disappearance (and Eventual Rebirth) of YouTube Star Issa Twaimz" (New York \\u2022 2017)\\n\\n\\n[54:40] "What Is the Momo Challenge?"
