Last night, I dreamed I was in Europe and about to come home but then @GovMikeDeWine, also there, got into a fistfight with another pol (possibly a senator) and I had to stay to file the story.

@jpelzer @AnnaStaver 2) Good, he said, adding something like, “You know that, now I know that. Now let’s take him out.” And we did.

@jpelzer @AnnaStaver 1) An ME once wanted to cut a long Sunday story on a fight over offshore wind power in Cape Cod. (I saw it as a preview to future fights elsewhere.) He took out Walter Cronkite, a part time Cape resident. I complained that I worked hard to get that interview.

I write about complicated topics like taxes and utilities. It often takes hours of interviews before I can explain the issue in a few hundred words. If I call, it’s because I value your expertise. But stories have word counts, and readers only have so much patience.
JMDavis@JessMarinDavis

I can't believe I need to say this, but if, as a journalist, you use my time, research & expertise without quoting me, don't be surprised if I never return your call.

Don't fight the Fed, or the White House.. Investing alongside Trump's tweets and White House moves ("White House basket") has returned about 75% since the start of his term, versus roughly 20% for the S&P 500, led by Intel and USA Rare Earths, found @psarofagis in great new note out today on BI ETF. (note: Tuttle has been trying to ETF-ize this strategy in the Government Grift ETF but no exchange will list it, too controversial, which i've never seen)

Video: Angine de Poitrine's full KEXP performance at Trans Musicales 2025 is on YouTube now. 4 songs, 2 musicians, and something genuinely unlike anything else. "Sarniezz" alone is worth your full attention. zurl.co/Qg8yX

@AndrewJTobias Soon after she won, cretins traded Internet claims that she was offering & signing bills to do rad things like tax Amazon deliveries & ban leaf blowers. Could it be true? No. But there was no offsetting coverage. (I looked into it on my own.) The cautionary tale is for the press.

The Republican Governors Association shared this Wall Street Journal op-ed with Ohio media this morning. They said it offers a "cautionary tale" for Ohio voters. wsj.com/opinion/is-any…

@darreldrowland Claude, in what grade do students learn the difference between “here” and “hear?” Typically in 1st or 2nd grade (ages 6–8), as part of early lessons on homophones — words that sound alike but have different spellings and meanings.

Q: Weren’t there supposed to be dire economic and health consequences when the expanded ACA subsidies expired at the end of 2025? A: Huh? No one talks about that, and our attention span is small as a gnat’s.

@ethan_iverson Please don’t. I’m sure others, like me, use social for reminders of what we might miss.

I am planning to stop linking to my Substack from the other socials, for these links from X, bsky, and FB rarely generate much engagement. Transitional Technology has 11,000 subscribers, commenting is open, and all content is free.

@ssuttell @JeremyNobile Love how the firm boasts prominently on its website about honoring fiduciary duty, suggesting to potential clients that if their advisor can’t say the same, maybe it is time to switch.

@WHRO WHRV announcers say that today’s online donations will be matched. That’s wonderful. But can you identify who’s doing the matching?

As we first reported in last night's @semafor media newsletter, NOTUS is rebranding/dramatically expanding. In a memo to staff this morning, the organization said it plans to "launch this new version of NOTUS under a new name" and double staff from 50 to 100.

Did you know tech companies ask local officials not to share how much water or electricity a data center will need until the deal is done? “They’re often used to pre-empt any public backlash until it’s too late,” @Pat_Garofalo said. 🔽 cleveland.com/news/2026/03/o…

@darreldrowland $15,000 per episode. Is that typical? How many people does that take, and how much time? This is well outside my expertise, but like other things involving Ohio’s backscratching power figures, it sounds like a lot.

New: Tension at the Associated Press over use of AI. One of the AP newsroom leaders leading the company's AI initiatives told staff that many editors preferred an AI-written article to a human one, and told them when it comes to using AI in the newsroom "resistance is futile."
