All of us at the @WSJ call for the immediate release of our reporter @evangershkovich. Our colleagues and competitors across the globe stand with us. #istandwithevan cpj.org/2023/03/cpj-me…

Reupping this from a couple days ago: Major U.S. companies are hiring Black Americans in large numbers. But Black employees are also leaving early-career jobs in large numbers—often, they say, because they feel little support or opportunity to advance. wsj.com/articles/whats…

Not long before the brouhaha over @timnitGebru, Google AI probed complaints against @mustafasuleymn, the cofounder of AI arm @DeepMind. Google kept him in an executive role and offered him a public hero’s welcome from @JeffDean More here w @parmy wsj.com/articles/artif…

The Trump administration keeps rolling out polices to constrain China--this one letting Commerce block imports of communications gear. But it's up to Biden to put into force (or kill). Lots for the new team to decide. wsj.com/articles/u-s-m… via @WSJ

They got his parents. This is the absolute apex of local news.

It's been a long day. Here's final @Reuters wrap on the social media side of things: what platforms did today, how violent rhetoric ramped up, and what FB staffers were posting internally (like one asking for "some courage and actual action" from execs) reuters.com/article/us-twi…

@eorden @Iroqu0isP1iskin Congrats!!

This guy arrived as an early Christmas present last week, so I’ll be away from this website for a bit. Happy New Year!

@malas_n @niemanfdn Congrats!

Miss my WSJ fam already-I will always carry the rigor & joy of reporting I learned growing up there. Thanks to my @niemanfdn fam, too, for the camaraderie & courage to explore. And thanks L.A., for drawing me back in and giving me a new hometown-and your excellent hometown paper!

Twitter friends, after a decade at the @WSJ , I'm joining the @latimes - I'm so excited to work with the fantastic business team at a time business and econ journalism are an everyday, essential public service. 1/2 latimes.com/about/pressrel…

@sama Philosophy, storytelling, fiction, creative pursuits in general. The current idea of work will recede. Fewer people will need to do any work, and those who do will need to do less of it. More spare time == more emphasis on other things.

Fun game: what tiny/nonexistent markets today will be trillion dollar markets in 10-20 years?

@kshaheen Hummus is gone, Kareem. It's beyond saving. They've taken over hummus. Just let hummus go. In fact, give them hummus in the hope that they don't come after any other mezze. It's the evacuation of Gallipoli of food. Much has been lost, but keeping up the fight risks disaster.

Boycott, divest
