Please stop assuming that too many em dashes means AI written. Some of us are producing grammatically incoherent work the honest way!

I've been to the Tidal Basin a million times over the years, but I'd never seen the water this high. It really feels like a glimpse of the future. npr.org/2024/03/19/123…

Here’s a tweet you hate to send. I was included in Vice’s latest layoff round today. I’ll still be on the public radio airwaves as soon as tomorrow… but definitely hit me up for your politics / democracy reporting/ trials / Congress / broadcasting / podcast needs!

Today is yet another really rough day in media; dozens of my Vice colleagues are being laid off globally and we just got news that Jezebel, where I worked for years, is being shut down.

My @axios #AI Summit talk with @inafried. When thinking on generative AI, you have to ask yourself, “What do you think it means to be a human? What do you even think life is for?” (Start at 1:04.) axios.com/2023/10/30/wat…

Episode 2 of '1 big thing' from @axios is out! And making this provided a wake-up call for me about kids and social media in the U.S. Some of the stats and emerging research are nothing short of shocking. Take a listen to @NialaBoodhoo's thoughtful interview with @Surgeon_General

Introducing "1 big thing," a new podcast from Axios where host Niala Boodhoo goes deep with leaders you know — or need to know — in business, politics, and culture. Every week, all in under 20 minutes. Listen to the trailer: trib.al/MzqNO2s trib.al/QrzIMtO

I’m so proud of what this small but MIGHTY team built in @Axios Today! Excited to work w/ @NialaBoodhoo on a new weekly, but sad for the end of this special show that proved a daily news pod could actually (seriously! truly!) be a joy to make. Grateful I got to experience that.
