One more day to give in 2025. So tell me and everyone else: to which nonprofit newsrooms and news publications should I and everyone else make sure to send some $$? National or local. All suggestions welcome. Even better if you link to a sample of their great work.

big fan of these writeups, especially coming from these two reporters who amaze me all the time

I thought, based on the social media-fication of the @rachelaviv.bsky.social Oliver Sacks piece, that Sacks had invented patients wholesale. But instead it’s what was once seemingly secretly acceptable among highbrow writers: making up quotes and details about people to make them more interesting.

Syrians emptied Assad’s prisons. They’re filling up again, and abuse is rife. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

I did not know that Bobby Kennedy, father of Trump’s anti-vaccine health secretary, RFK Jr., once worked for Joseph McCarthy. (from: “Ghosts of Iron Mountain”)

With news that the data breach at web and phone analytics giant Mixpanel includes the viewing habits of Pornhub users, here's my TechCrunch story from early December about why this data breach is a big deal — and what sort of data Mixpanel tracks about millions of ordinary people every day.

New: @ajvicens.bsky.social and I have been able to establish that the Pornhub user data being bandied around by ShinyHunters is at least partially authentic. At least two former customers confirm to us that their emails are in the sample data shared by the hackers. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

About halfway through this wild story about missing American nuclear generator in the Himalayas Gen. Curtis LeMay makes an appearance and it all makes a lot more sense www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

New! We worked with the Public Interest Research Group to test a bunch of LLM-driven toys ahead of the Christmas. That sexual talking teddy bear wasn't a one-off; it turns out disturbing behavior is deeply built into these toys across the board.

This brings to (at least) 20 the number of lawsuits filed by people fired or otherwise punished for comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Our story from last month on the sweeping crackdown against those who criticized Kirk (with @ajvicens.bsky.social). www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Incredible headline.

Deeply reported piece on how US authorities are detaining people based on nothing more than driving patterns captured by hidden cameras and flagged by opaque algorithms.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.
