Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York. Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

Here with the mighty @CNET team for day one of #MWC26, my first time at the show, reporting on phones, wearables, and maybe a wee bit of AI

On Jan. 14, our parent company Ziff Davis laid off 5 of our members, days after our successful CES showing as the CNET Group. This is the third round of layoffs since Ziff acquired CNET in 2024. We’re sick of our members being on the chopping block. Read our statement below:

Clicks CMO, Jeff Gadway, told me, “We're really trying to help have people see us as a company that's building purpose-built tech for people who want to do shit and not doom scroll.” These are my kind of people! #ces #clickscommunicator @CNET youtu.be/JsH0fv035Zw?si…

To kick off 2026, I lay out how generative AI has changed the gaming landscape -- and ensured that gamers can't trust that the games they're playing are completely made by humans. cnet.com/tech/gaming/in…

@Reductress Weirdly mean and shallow.

So wildly sad. Big in the industry, but had a big heart, too. Met him at a SW: Jedi Survivor event and he cheerfully let me ramble on. Such a loss.

@alyssa_merc Congrats on not just surviving but thriving amid this awful freelance/media environment. Good work across a lot of mediums that includes travel, damn!

Watched the trailer, sat up, watched it again. Looks rad as hell

Well look at that! @Parkyprakhar got to try the Galaxy Z TriFold at the Samsung Store in Dubai for @CNET and even compare it to the Huawei Mate XT #samsunggalaxyztrifold #GalaxyZTriFold cnet.com/tech/mobile/i-…

Newspapers are closing at an emergency-level rate—over the past 20 years, America has lost more than 3,000. For the past six years, the photographer Ann Hermes has been documenting the lives lived in these dying places across the country. See more images: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/059DXx

The OnePlus 15 has a silicon battery with the largest capacity of any phone sold in the US. OnePlus is one of a handful of phone-makers using silicon batteries. And it's only a matter of time before others follow. #oneplus15 #siliconbattery #anode cnet.com/tech/mobile/th…
