i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.
A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.
Just wrapped up 55 min of therapy talking about my struggles getting started drafting my book, time to take a big sip of coffee and check in on the book world over here, let's see

And yes this will be recorded--register and you'll get a link to the recording, live for two weeks.

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

Not the only thesis of the book I’m writing rn but…
Orbit is not an infinite resource. Once things start colliding—and they will—the debris makes the space unusable, and we’ll have a couple centuries without satellites. It might not *end* civilization but it will sure fuck it up.
Once again: there is zero valid reason to put a data center in space. In addition to the launch costs and inability to service them, you need significant cooling infrastructure. The only reason to do this is a) you are an idiot, or b) you are grifting money from idiots.
1:30pm ET today, if you want to sign up! It'll be recorded and you'll have the video for two weeks.
jaimegreen.net/classes“The point here is not whether you believe these bots are conscious.” Then don’t write it as if you think they are! These aren’t little lobster dudes, they’re language shuffling programs regurgitating weird shit in their training data.
insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

Been thinking a lot about ICE and feeling helpless and horrified, grateful for the people putting themselves on the line, knowing the line will eventually come for me. And so I decided to ramp up what I already do—buying and cooking for the community fridge—to start volunteering with a program ...
