- Wait, what? Geoff, too? surely he’s already gotten a zillion job offers, but, if you’re reading this, you, too, should offer him a job. (Or, editor/agent friends: get him to write a book!!!)
- After 8 years writing the tech column @washingtonpost.com, I am among folks who were laid off today. I’m grateful for the stories I got to tell and the impact we made on privacy, sustainability & AI. You can keep following my work on my new (free) Substack geoffreyafowler.substack.com
- I feel quite convinced that @nitasha.bsky.social must already have a number of job offers already on the table, but, hey, psst, publications, look at who you have a chance to snap up????? 🤯
- My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power
- This excellent piece, from a former Washington Post writer, is the most comprehensive I've seen so far, answering a lot of my questions: Why has the Post's business suffered while the NYT's has been sustained? What are some better possible futures? www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...
- It's time to apply for the second annual DAG Prize, celebrating innovation and supporting sustainable careers in the arts — $20,000 apiece for a writer, a musician, and a visual artist! Last year's winners were @michaelzapata.bsky.social, Elizabeth Ziman, and Ziba Rajabi. Please share widely! ✨
- I hope someone good applies for this and gets the offer and then writes a tell-all essay about it in like the @yalereview.bsky.social or @thebeliever.net
