A short note to confirm The Washington Post closed its Seoul hub today. Have loved every moment of working with the team here and at the mothership. The cuts have been deep across the board and I will miss the many talented people I have learned from — you are all magnificent.

Picked up my notebook this morning — full of notes from a recent reporting trip — and got hit with another wave of grief over all the stories that now won't be told. I'm looking for work, preferably in Kyiv, should anyone need a dogged, empathetic reporter. DM/email.

EXCLUSIVE: Desperate African men tell CNN they were lured by Russia into the war in Ukraine using promises of well-paying civilian jobs. But they were forced into the frontlines with little/no training, facing drones & racism. "You escape or you die." ⚠️Story is hard to watch

"For those of you in Nigeria, in Africa, that want to join the Russian army, it is very easy and very good. No stress!" Some African soldiers promote the war, but the reality in Ukraine is horrific. 
 Many Africans say they were forced in & can’t leave

Six months ago, Anne Ndarua's only son went to Russia on the promise of a job as an electrical engineer. She says he was forced into military training and she no longer knows if he's alive. In December, someone sent Anne a video of her son warning other Africans not to travel to Russia for any job offers. cnn.it/4bBNB0Q

Not long after DeepSeek R1 launched, I discovered that my mother had started using the chatbot as her virtual doctor. I worried about her reliance on AI. But over time, I realized Dr. DeepSeek was offering something no human in her life could. restofworld.org/2025/ai-chatbo…
