LeBron’s Streak, Gehry’s Genius, and the iPad Generation

On today’s episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, we start with the end of one of the most remarkable streaks in sports: LeBron James finally scores under ten points for the first time in nearly nineteen years. We dig into why his nearly two-decade run of double figures says more about discipline, sleep, and long-term habits than it does about one off night in Toronto and why David Thompson is the tragic counterexample of wasted talent.

Then we remember Frank Gehry, the late-blooming, often-mocked architect who didn’t just change skylines, he changed how music sounds in a room. From Disney Hall to Bilbao, we look at how he did some of his most iconic work after the age when most people are retired.

Next, we head to Stanford and the elite-college disability boom, where nearly thirty-eight percent of students are now registered as “disabled.” We separate real need from strategic diagnoses, extra-time gaming, and the quiet arms race of ADHD meds and accommodations.

From there, it’s the classroom battlefield: school-issued iPads and a four-hundred-billion-dollar ed-tech industry that, according to one neuroscientist, may be making kids less cognitively capable than their parents. LA parents are in revolt; districts say it’s equity. We ask who’s actually right and who’s cashing in.

Finally, we turn to Vanity Fair and Olivia Nuzzi. As fresh revelations about her affair with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and her reporting conduct surface, the magazine lets her contract quietly expire. We talk about sex, politics, and what happens when a journalist gets way too close to the story.

All that and more, today on Filtered, with TJ Walker.
