- Joe Menn is a powerhouse of cybersecurity and tech reporting. His work has been nominated for Pulitzers, Loebs, and Sabew prizes in journalism.
- I’m going to share some posts from amazing Wpost reporters who lost their jobs today. I’m regularly jealous of Nitasha’s reporting and know from my days at BuzzFeed that she is a wonderful and generous colleague.
- 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

- Reposted by Sheera FrenkelNEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning. Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...
- The Wpost had shredded their coverage of the Middle East and Ukraine. Take a moment to think about that. Two areas where U.S. interests and involvement are critical, and where their reporters have produced award-winning work, (at great risk to their own lives).
- Reposted by Sheera FrenkelA staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."
- This is terrible news for the entire journalism industry. The Washington Post regularly produces critical reporting. Its international reporters were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize last year. It’s an institution for a reason.
- This is the surveillance toolkit - including facial recognition and cell phone tracking - that ICE is using to identify people in Minneapolis: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...
- I love getting the weekend paper delivered to my house. I didn’t love trying to explain today’s news to two small kids.
- “Footage shows Mr. Pretti was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

- Today in things I made from clay: a little salt pot and a bowl.
- Nobody does snark like the British.
- I finished the gay hockey books, and they are as good as everyone said. To anyone not reading/watching because you think you don’t like romance, I was once one of you. These books taught me that it’s not romance, as a genre, that I hate. It’s the traditional male/female power structure they lean on.

- I send my kids to a small Bay Area school where a high percentage of parents work in tech. My informal survey of popular holiday gifts found that the two most popular were the Yoto mini music player and Tin Can phone. Tells you something that all these families want their kids to be screen-free.
- A+ data journalism. @karenyourish.bsky.social @kenvogel.bsky.social and @charliesmart.bsky.social analyzed 346 donors who gave more than $250,00 to Trump. They found that more than half, “benefited, or are involved in an industry that has benefited,” from Trump. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

- I love that Yalda and the last night of Hannukah fall on the same day this year, (the winter solstice). Hafez and Latkes for all.

- The power outage and spotty cell service sending Waymos in San Francisco into a total meltdown is pure comedy.

- Look, at some point the universe is going to start smacking us over the head with the symbolism.
- I want to participate in the Heated Rivalry discourse. Do I need to read the book first?
- Reposted by Sheera FrenkelICE snatched a human rights hero. Guan Heng risked his life to capture video of Uyghur concentration camps. After escaping to the U.S., Guan was in hiding for years, not knowing his work had been crucial to substantiating China's mass detention practices. On Monday, he has an asylum hearing in NY.

- Did all the brands get together and decide that 30% was going to make us impulse buy our way through Black Friday? (In this economy?!?)
- Please share your Thanksgiving traditions especially if (like me!) you grew up in an immigrant family and have created your own version of this holiday. We make: Turkey mole, pickled onions, jalapeño cornbread, cranberry salsa, roasted corn, and sage salsa verde (thank you Samin Nosrat!).
- Because a lot of people might be talking about journalistic ethics this holiday weekend, I want to put out there how my editor at the NYT does anon sourcing for our stories. If something is stated and attributed to an unnamed person, she wants us to have at least three people verify it.
- The most thorough reporting I’ve seen on how Chat GPT is affecting some people’s mental health, (and what the company is doing about it). Great work from @kashhill.bsky.social and @Jen Valentino www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/t...
- Reposted by Sheera FrenkelNEW: For months, my colleagues and I dug into YouTube's conservative airwaves and found a flourishing network of host-read ads on right-leaning podcasts. This phenomenon has enriched hosts, YouTube, and businesses that use ideology to sell. bloom.bg/3Kaio9w
- Cheat sheet for a perfect day: wake up on a small island in Fiji and pay a local to take you out on a boat. Snorkel wherever the water takes you until you get hungry. Breakfast is a sprouted coconut you found on the beach and some local fruit. Spend the rest of the day exploring tiny islands.
- Just arrived in Paradise (aka Fiji). Going to check out of the world for 5 days.
- Now making seasonal glazes for my mugs.
- The videos surfacing online from Sudan are horrifying, and I say this as a journalist who has sadly become an expert on violent videos and images uploaded to the internet over the last decade. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/w...
