SUPPORT LOCAL JOURNALISM

These moves only make sense to corporations that care about journalism that's cheap, not good. A deceased columnist's fans don't want a digital simulacrum approximating an opinion of a gallery. Greed paired with a disregard of quality yields ghoulish outcomes

I am fed up with the app-ification of things. I don't want 327 apps on my phone or whatever in order to see my bills and pay my bills and order pizza and check the weather and find out when the garbage is being collected and get notified of emergencies. This is ridiculous.

A good demonstration of how journalism is a unique mess of a field where despite the often high stakes, the professional accreditation is minimal and the ethical guidelines varying and often self-enforcing

It's absolutely critical that Kamala Harris strongly emphasized that a Dem president and Congress will codify Roe nationally in her first speech as presumptive nominee. This has huge political benefits that are going underappreciated. 1/ New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1841...

the state of journalism.

Pushing Biden — or any unwilling incumbent — aside is pretty uncharted waters that, at minimum, require a huge amount of coordination from basically every major lever of the Democratic party. Inertia is the deciding factor here.

Between 1998 and 2023, Israel declared 28k dunams as "state land" (=land for settlers). In 2024 alone, Israel declared 24k dunams as state land. (1 dunam = 0.25 Acre)

As a legal reporter, I struggle with describing the Supreme Court’s decisions as “findings.” It’s a term of art in the legal world, but I worry it implies that the justices are engaging in a good-faith effort to “discover” the law rather than interpret it in a way that confirms their existing views

“Can you have a debate built on reason, to measure reason, when a candidate insists on something beyond reason?” youtu.be/0X2xaM4w8AI?...

Companies are attaching "AI" to seemingly everything, but it's not what they always make it out to be. I wrote about how regulators and investors are beginning to hold them accountable www.law360.com/insurance-au...

Shameless plug for my brother @simchagross.bsky.social’s book, now officially launched! Simcha is the most profoundly rigorous and brilliant truth-seeker I know, and it’s a joy and privilege to see his talents achieve this shining revision of crucial Jewish history www.cambridge.org/us/universit...

The Federal Trade Commission, of all entities, is out here writing absolute bangers about AI snake oil. www.ftc.gov/business-gui...
