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. www.businessinsider.com/great-lock-i...

"We're not born with a specific set of talents, and we learn from failure," Pasquerella says. "But you have to have a curriculum that allows people to learn from failure and not kick them out if they fail their first few assignments." www.businessinsider.com/america-coll...

good morning, Go Birds, say it back

High tuition, AI disruption, and a culture war on college campuses — is this the worst time to start pursuing a degree ever? I wrote about the challenges facing the Class of 2029 for @businessinsider.com www.businessinsider.com/america-coll...

Once taboo, attitudes about office romance are changing. And despite the drama around the Astronomer affair that had everyone talking this summer, many young people see a benefit to RTO — meeting dating prospects IRL instead of on apps. www.businessinsider.com/return-to-of...

@amandahoover.bsky.social nails "Brain rot summer" www.businessinsider.com/brain-rot-su...

It's August, and there's no big song or trend of the summer. No brat summer or Barbenheimer or hot girl summer — just Jet2Holiday on repeat. For @businessinsider.com, I wrote about how the season feels chaotic, squishy, and undefinable. www.businessinsider.com/brain-rot-su...

Parents are more involved with their adult children. The irony: Most parents of Gen Z are Gen X, from a generation that has a reputation of being anything from free-range kids to forgotten. I wrote about the changing trends for @businessinsider.com www.businessinsider.com/college-pare...

Most fun I've ever had was reporting this on WTF is going on with hetero dating. It's basically what I had assumed: There are lots of smart, attractive, successful women and few men to match up. Wrote about this and my own dating woes for @businessinsider.com www.businessinsider.com/big-winners-...

This weekend, I heard several men at an upscale NYC bar use a slur thrown around by Elon Musk on the other site to yell at women who "cut" the bathroom line. Been thinking lots about the downstream effects of the broligarchs on young men as I wrote this one www.businessinsider.com/america-girl...

Bumble has new subway ads and I read one that said “dating in new york is a constant struggle” and said amen, brother — and then realized it actually said “constant adventure”

I spent last week in Taipei with hundreds of human rights organizations, many of which had been impacted by the US aid freeze. While we were there, news came down that even more grants had been canceled, some of which were then reinstated. "Total chaos." @wired.com www.wired.com/story/rights...

aren't we all

Remember when the internet was fun? That was @yahoo.bsky.social's heyday. I wrote for @businessinsider.com about Yahoo's attempts to reclaim its cool as competitors like Meta and Google become more and more cringe. www.businessinsider.com/millennial-y...

Not a PR pitch hitting my inbox to go cover an in-person event featuring my ex. Is this legal???

thats ok im already fluent in anxiety

I'm always looking for new editors and publications to work with! If you need media, tech, or wacky business/politics stories in 2025, hit me up! Reporting, analysis, columns, blogs, features, you name it. [email protected]

If you've been working remotely and phoning it in on Fridays, you're not alone. People are increasingly going out to eat on Friday afternoons and logging off early — sometimes without their bosses knowing. My latest for @businessinsider.com www.businessinsider.com/sneaky-rise-...

if any Meta employees want to talk anonymously about recent changes around the company’s attitude towards LGBTQ people, chat with me on a non-work device via Signal: reece_rogers.01

ok and??? www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

What do Fridays look like for you in a hybrid/remote work world? I'm looking to talk to people who are quietly checking out on Fridays and hitting the gym, salon, or restaurants or binging Netflix. Anonymity will be granted for this! Please DM me or email [email protected] if you want to chat.

everything about this new Meta AI bot is so dystopian but for me the AI-generated images of nonexistent donated coats is up there

My grandparents got a new coffee maker and somehow we have had an incident / coffee explosion every morning I’ve been here.

I fear the world will burst into flames when these two characters cross paths it is so wildly unnatural

My grandparents live in the woods and have a puppy (yes, both bold choices when you’re in your 80s). Now, my Gpop has a headlamp he uses to take the puppy out at night on a leash because there have been coyote sightings in the area. I do not know how he plans to fight a coyote.

really excellent work here from @klong.bsky.social & @thenewsham.bsky.social

really really great story up on @businessinsider.com today about zillow and the infamous zestimate! www.businessinsider.com/is-my-zestim...

I asked AI chatbots what to get my family for Christmas. There were average suggestions—Stanley mugs or digital picture frames—but the chatbots also suggested a Trump mug declaring my mom the best mom, and went deep on Twilight memorabilia for my cousin. www.businessinsider.com/ai-chatbots-...

Go Birds (I guess???)

Really being told to log off tonight, getting banned from even yapping privately

I love my group chat. It's a cult. And it made me start thinking about the ways that some of us are moving away from algorithm-driven social media and to ways that we can more tightly control how we socialize with one another and share information. www.businessinsider.com/forget-blues...

people in my building are really acting up yesterday/today, really giving last week of school before Christmas break energy and i am not here for it

Cities around the world are moving to regulate companies like Airbnb, from New York to Barcelona. Now, it’s looking to expand into new countries and more suburban or rural areas, where there’s less competition with hotels, and fewer regulations. More from me: www.businessinsider.com/airbnb-globa...

Why am I continuously being followed by only fans creators with variations of the name Julie in the past 24 hours

We’ll be here until March

Apple Intelligence off to a great start www.bbc.com/news/article...

I’ve never felt so betrayed like this

The ratio here really speaks to the moment

me but my dog is way fancier than i am

worth every penny Go Birds

New favorite political scandal just dropped www.inquirer.com/news/nation-...

I spoke to a designer who said he’s donating his Deny, Defend, Depose merch profits to a charity that helps people pay medical bills: “I don’t personally believe in violence, but I have a problem with their entire business making money off people suffering and dying.” www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...

As NYPD officials boasted of the resources expended finding the killer of a corporate CEO, another sidewalk murder the same week, of a migrant teen, has not received the same treatment. hellgatenyc.com/two-manhatta...

someone called 911 because they thought my neighbor was dead but a bunch of EMS guys just broke every lock on the door and the dude is simply not home and nearly certainly alive (according to other neighbors) and going to come back to see this nightmare

alleged shooter went to U Penn? did i not tell you guys Philly is the center of the universe??

Living in Philadelphia really puts you at the center of the universe, I believe my friend threw up in the parking lot of this Dunkin' in college. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/u...

Good morning, go birds

He wore a mask and took a bus? I’m shocked that this is the most sophisticated crime in New York

This is such a unique moment in the way that no one from this guy’s personal life or an army of internet sleuths, who thrive on vitality and opportunity that comes with big stories like this, want to ID him.
