My first story for L.A. Material is a behind-the-scenes account of the week that remade the L.A. mayoral race — how the city’s political class scrambled to marshal an alternative to Mayor Karen Bass, and ended up w a challenger no one saw coming. lamaterial.com/p/five-days-th…

This is the work that can’t be replicated by AI or pursued by a reporter with a Substack. It requires time - during which a reporter isn’t producing a lot of copy. Building trust with sources so you can tell sensitive stories, that’s a process that doesn’t scale.

"Nearly five years." Investigative journalism takes years and years. The investment is immense, and always worth it, and, in the era of "hot takes" and ephemeral "content," rigorously reported journalistic work is needed more than ever. We must keep supporting investigative journalism. From @mannyNYT, lead reporter of the blockbuster piece on Cesar Chavez ⤵️

american culture is so poweful it's insane, apparently they're having st patrick's day celebrations in berlin elementary schools?

apparently booze was banned at st patrick's day celebrations in ireland until 1961. the modern version of the holiday is basically an american invention that has now diffused back into ireland.

An objectively wild career move and one I couldn’t be happier with or prouder of. The world needs more local reporters more than it needs more national ones and even if I go back to national reporting one day, I’ll be a much better reporter for this experience.
Special Puppy 🧦🐵@SpecialPuppy1
I was wondering why this guy disappeared from politics Twitter. Voluntarily going from NBC political reporter to editor of a regional newspaper covering a population of roughly 150k people seems like a wild career move, but if it makes you and your loved ones happy, go for it.

What's the best evidence of a hard computer/energy constraint for AI. Are there some examples of companies just not accepting new users, or new companies just not being able to operate?

I've plotted the most expensive McDonald's burger and the least expensive MacBook over time. This analysis projects that the most expensive burger will be more expensive than the cheapest laptop as soon as 2081
