Seeing people in the news industry say that articles should be AI-generated is absolutely bonkers and the antithesis of why so many of us became journalists in the first place—because we aspired to the art of reporting AND writing. I will never release AI slop under my byline.
"In a callous job market where it can feel like everyone's hungry and nobody's making it to the table, recruiters and job seekers alike are looking for a shakeup. But anytime the rules of the game change, there's bound to be new winners and losers."
The résumé is dead. Companies are advertising jobs saying they won't read them. They're shifting to skills-based hiring and quiet recruiting for jobs.
Résumé evaluation was flawed. But as the rules of the hiring game change, so may the losers and winners.

The feelings people have about data centers are tied to their own energy costs — a local issue that's not yet an indictment of the centers at large. But as more communities fight to defeat them, it's more bad PR for Big Tech. Politicians will take note.

Big shoutout to the gay hockey boys and Bad Bunny for making 2026 the year i learned to feel again.
i wasn't sure if my Heated Rivalry hyper-fixation would ever be cured. then i discovered the Bad Bunny half time show.
eek ty for catching!
"keeping kids off the internet is couched in language of protecting them, keeping them safe ... But there is a piece of it that is inherently rooted in the idea that they have nothing valuable to add to society or that there's no point in listening to them." www.businessinsider.com/kids-parenti...
Hmmmmm, indeed.
It's a popular sentiment: social media is bad for kids. But as someone who grew up on and loved the OG social web, I looked deeper at the ways teens can benefit from social media — and what we all get when young people shape online culture and activism.

SCOOP from me in this week’s @wired.com Inner Loop newsletter: A look inside a forum where users claiming to be ICE/CBP vent their frustrations and concerns about their jobs.

a glorious rat coin purse
twitter comments that range from "oh! so contradictory - laugh & cringe" to "so curious to know who would want this - any ideas?"
twitter must be dead dead cause someone posted a rat coin purse that would have 2019 twitter losing its collective mind and most of the top comments are bots saying random words or people not nearly amped enough about the rat coin purse
people really trying anything to get in on the Heated Rivalry hype

I've been seeing posts for comms roles on LinkedIn with salaries that seemed, to me as a journalist, staggering. I wondered why this was happening amid an AI boom. Turns out: there's a premium on good writing and creative thinking in the age of AI slop.

I’ve been thinking about Dan non-stop, and what I’ve come to understand is just how much I admired him. Dan built his life and moved through the world in a way I wish I could emulate more easily. I’ll keep trying, and in moments when I succeed I’ll think of him again. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...
shout out to Dan McQuade, who took me up on an offer to see Hannibal Buress at the Troc, pulled out his phone to record the Bill Cosby joke, and through the butterfly effect of the internet sent Bill Cosby to prison and kickstarted the #MeToo movement. He was one of the kindest guys I’ve ever met.

Forget trendy foods from TikToks and exclusive reservations. People want to become regulars at their own Gen Z versions of Central Perk or Cheers. And there are tech companies that want to get in on the trend by rewarding people for customer loyalty.

Generative AI has turned everyone into an armchair expert. It's driving real experts crazy. Lawyers are inundated with inquiries after AI told them they had a case; doctors are dealing with second opinions generated by ChatGPT. Latest for @businessinsider.com

2026 resolutions are underway for many. That might mean more than Dry January or joining a gym. People are lonely. They want to meet IRL. The concept of connecting over shared interests and going out without heavy partying could bring people together.

Working on weekends is typically a sign of over-working. But for some white collar workers, logging on during the weekend is the greatest form of freedom and autonomy. I wrote about the trend for @businessinsider.com

2025 was the year of vibe coding. Big Tech execs loved it. But as the hype fades, 2026 might be the year when reality sets in, and the value of having humans with deep knowledge of AI and their systems becomes clear. My latest for @businessinsider.com

Unrealistic beauty standards dominate social media and dating, but being hot is also career perk. I spoke with people who work 9 to 5s about how they feel the pressure to look young, have perfect smiles, and be thin in order to succeed. @businessinsider.com

Spotify Wrapped said I am 70 years old. Goodnight.

the Great Lock In is upon us. Personally, i am locking in for the Birds and the Phillies, but plenty of people are taking on more personal goals this fall, hoping to emerge in 2026 as a better version of themselves.
