I'm working on a story explaining why this should matter to regular people. Can someone point me to an expert who's willing to comment on this on the record? #journo #journalist #journorequest

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

Not People Mag retrofitting a trending keyword into an article. But let's take a look at how this happened because I think it's a cool window into the way Google's search algorithm coerces media outlets into publishing non-stories 🧵 1/? #genehackman #fakenews #santafe #cult #debunking #threads

Importantly, Let's Hold Hands is not a late Valentine's card, but an exercise in reaching out and linking paws with an online stranger. Here's how it came to be and why. #untested #tech #apps #projectdemo #mentalhealth

love the idea of UBI until we think about who gets to decide which people/groups "deserve" it and based on what criteria. or is it going to be left up to AI (with the programmers' biases baked in)? #ubi #universalbasicincome #ai #ainews

WTF Romania? "Their flight to the US comes after the Financial Times reported that Trump’s special envoy, Richard Grenell, had spoken to the Romanian foreign minister, Emil Hurezeanu, about the Tate brothers at this month’s Munich Security Conference." www.theguardian.com/news/2025/fe...

I wanted to see if I could get a language model (used ChatGPT and DeepSeek for this) to rate language from news and headlines as either Kiki or Bouba, but was also interested in the broader question: does AI 'get' the Kiki Bouba effect? #kikibouba #ai #chatgpt #Deepseek tinyurl.com/yc2xu7su

I'd like to take 30 seconds to boost the signal on @journoresources.org.uk, who are doing fantastic work connecting journalists at all career stages with career ops, workshops, networking, grants and mentorships, pitches and so much more (prob screaming into the void here, still worth it tho)

this freaks me out so much because the numbers look more or less the same in my home country. presidential elections almost got hijacked last year by a (former, alleged) FSB agent strongman type who wanted to base Romanian economy on horses and hemp, and outlaw C-sections tinyurl.com/yt7hcwym
