“The writer had correctly identified the problem: Freelance life is underpaid. It was her solution I disagreed with. Marrying an old guy is to labor organizing what girl-bossing is to feminism.” —@amylittlefield on freelancer solidarity: bit.ly/3xQpPMx
Excited to share this story on Earth Day week, and it's the first piece I've written for Nat Geo in years. NASA has a plan to clean up space junk—but is going green enough? nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…
What could possibly go wrong? arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/0…
Space has a trash problem (perhaps, we are the problem?) and NASA is determined to do something about it. Fun to work with @raminskibba on this one! nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…
Voyager 1, the iconic spacecraft that gave us the “pale blue dot” image of Earth, is still going strong! It sent back usable data to NASA engineers, and I’m hoping it can resume its interstellar science mission soon.
My new piece for @Sequencermag! A somber reflection on why incarceration in the US is both a public health and health justice issue. The numbers will shock you. sequencermag.com/a-public-healt…
Damn. Google fired 28 workers, including Mohammad Khatami and Ray Westrick, just hours after they did this interview. All these workers protested the company's $1.2 billion Project Nimbus, providing AI & cloud computing to the Israeli military. democracynow.org/2024/4/17/no_t…
It's official: NASA will be sending a space helicopter called Dragonfly to Saturn's moon Titan! That's one of my favorite moons, and I've loved writing about it many times. Can't wait! nautil.us/move-over-mars…
Looking forward to reading this piece, about the 800,000 miles of internet-providing undersea cables, which are constantly breaking and in need of repair. theverge.com/c/24070570/int…
In “On the Move,” @AbrahmL details how global warming could displace millions of Americans. Read the full book review from science writer @raminskibba. 🔗: undark.org/2024/03/29/boo…
An important story about prisoners completely missing the eclipse because of a system-wide lockdown. Reminds me of Bradbury's "All Summer in a Day," on a planet where it always rains except for 1 day of sun. A girl misses it bc kids lock her in a closet. hellgatenyc.com/incarcerated-n…

Emory's Caroline Fohlin is knocked down by the police while shouting: “I’m a professor!!” Hear the disbelief in her voice. She never expected to be treated like this by her own university for protesting Israel's slaughter. But remember, democracy is on the ballot in Nov...
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
A CNN crew witnessed at least two professors detained by Atlanta police, including @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin and Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department. #FreePalestine cnn.com/business/live-…
"The University administration respects all student protests, just not this one. Students have fought for many important causes over the years, and their right to protest is sacrosanct. In this case, however, we must arrest and slander them." mcsweeneys.net/articles/a-mes…
Absent answers to a number of important questions, the new aid is spending that lacks a coherent plan for making it effective. That makes it a formula for prolonging, not ending, the war, writes George Beebe responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-aid-26…
maybe it was a bad idea for Obama folks to insist that a president should be allowed to conduct extrajudicial assassinations of Americans
Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assasinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity? "That could well be an official act," Trump lawyer John Sauer says
This is a good useful thing and also a good reminder that ALL PRESS PASSES ARE FAKE. The first amendment is the only press pass you need in the USA.

The Biden admin refuses to give papers like the NYT real interview access, and then they grumble about lack of sufficient coverage Biden's agenda. Yes there's a media bias, but also take some responsibility. politico.com/news/magazine/…
Today, nearly 350 local California publishers signed a letter to show their support for the California Journalism Preservation Act Learn more about that and Google’s “test” that is removing links to California local news in its searches: kqed.org/news/11983333/… @KQEDnews
Why is it OK for rich guys to steal my work? Just re-upping this piece on the California Journalism Preservation Act as Google throws a temper tantrum today. latimes.com/california/sto…
“If California and Google still want to have independent journalists…somebody is going to have to pay us to do it. The California Journalism Preservation Act reasonably suggests that the people who profit from journalists’ work should help foot the bill.” sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…
Statement on Google's threat to start banning journalism from its services in California in response to the California Journalism Preservation Act:
“In the big picture, for a journalist, this is just a different variation of the post-hyperlink, A.I.-driven business model that Meta and Google are already building toward…Canada just got there a little earlier than the rest of us,” @mattdpearce writes: mattdpearce.substack.com/p/when-faceboo…
A.I. summaries are just one of several algorithm-driven features killing the old internet where we accessed journalism via hyperlink. People are still looking at journalists’ labor, there’s just even less of a pretense now that we’ll get paid for it: mattdpearce.substack.com/p/journalism-a…
This is the first (and won't be the last) time I've seen my reporting ripped off by AI. This story on TikTok took months and many interviews to report. The "AI reading assistant" by Aili summarized each section in bullets and, without credit, used custom art made by @Forbes:
This is a game changer for tv news journalists. I remember having to turn down a job or two when I was a tv news anchor/reporter because of non-compete clauses in my contract.
In final rule, FTC bans non-compete clauses for *all* workers!
Is it just me or is the internet broken? All these AI assistants and the repetitive results on search engines make it super hard to navigate now.
How's this for the impact of AI on journalism? We got a tip about a sexual harassment scandal involving a lawmaker – but the tipster's source is Meta AI, which appears to have just entirely fabricated the scandal.
“Can you call the philosophy department and tell them I’ve been arrested?” is an all-time quote.
WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet. This video provided to us by an #Emory PHD student. You can hear him in this video. @ATLNewsFirst
