Encouraging news.

Hey there’s my book! And some good company to be in.

Congrats to Tom on his book publication! Certainly going to be added to my queue!

Admirably direct and factual headline here (good story too)

This is as unrealistic as decent quality AI video will ever be. In other words, it’s going to get even harder to discern imaginary from reality. We are so not ready for this.

Major scoop from @marciabrown.bsky.social and one that’s deeply disturbing to this former WSJ reporter. Markets and the broader economy rely on data and confidence in that data.

Celebrating my pub day for Cloud Warriors, my book on the future of weather forecasting and how to be smart about putting predictions to work. Thank you St. Martin’s Press and Macmillan, and especially everyone in the world of weather who helped me tell this story. Info: www.cloudwarriorsbook.com

Not true! Here is the REAL design!

Costs of $4-7 billion. Of course, the US government has stopped tracking billion-dollar weather events in “alignment with evolving priorities, statutory mandates, and staffing changes”

This is a dangerously uninformed view

The story of how much cancer research is being intentionally dismantled is hugely undercovered. Thi matters to so many people but we are failing to tell the story clearly. So great to see this.

Respond to this with an image from a movie that always cheers you up, but don't name the movie. Just the image.

Rümeysa Öztürk, the Tufts PhD candidate whose sudden arrest by federal immigration agents made national headlines, walked out of a Louisiana detention facility after a judge ordered her release. “Thank you for all the support and love,” she told supporters outside. trib.al/UkF8nkC

I just asked Copilot in MS Word to set up a five column document, one for each weekday, and have the letter paper in landscape not portrait. Set up 5 columns? ✅ Label with weekdays? ✅ Adjust page setup? ❌ I don’t need help writing! But a virtual asst that could do formatting perfectly would be 👌

I often give newspaper headline writers a hard time. But this is sub-tweeting and situational-awareness at a genius level. ('Journalism' is favored horse in Ky Derby.)
