As a member of the media, I can’t say this enough: It’s the media’s job to arm you with information. It’s your job to decide what to do with that information.

On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

Olive grove by olive grove, sheep pasture by sheep pasture, village by village — over the past two years, Israeli settlers, often with Israeli military support, have escalated their unrelenting campaign to seize land and erase its Palestinian presence. Paywall free: nytimes.com/interactive/...

I send my kids to a small Bay Area school where a high percentage of parents work in tech. My informal survey of popular holiday gifts found that the two most popular were the Yoto mini music player and Tin Can phone. Tells you something that all these families want their kids to be screen-free.

A+ data journalism. @karenyourish.bsky.social @kenvogel.bsky.social and @charliesmart.bsky.social analyzed 346 donors who gave more than $250,00 to Trump. They found that more than half, “benefited, or are involved in an industry that has benefited,” from Trump. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices..."“It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

I love that Yalda and the last night of Hannukah fall on the same day this year, (the winter solstice). Hafez and Latkes for all.

My first story for @nytimes.com: a profile of Rachel Reid, bestselling author of Heated Rivalry. Still pinching myself!

The power outage and spotty cell service sending Waymos in San Francisco into a total meltdown is pure comedy.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

The Pulitzer Board is actually fighting back against one of Trump’s vexatious lawsuits, saying, ‘If you were harmed, prove it — with medical and financial records.’ Not rolling over like some of the capitulating companies we’ve seen. newrepublic.com/post/204475/...

Look, at some point the universe is going to start smacking us over the head with the symbolism.

I want to participate in the Heated Rivalry discourse. Do I need to read the book first?

ICE snatched a human rights hero. Guan Heng risked his life to capture video of Uyghur concentration camps. After escaping to the U.S., Guan was in hiding for years, not knowing his work had been crucial to substantiating China's mass detention practices. On Monday, he has an asylum hearing in NY.

Kudos to the Brown University students who are posting continuous live updates, spaced just minutes apart, on the campus shooting. A lot of grace and professionalism under immense pressure. www.browndailyherald.com/article/2025...

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Did all the brands get together and decide that 30% was going to make us impulse buy our way through Black Friday? (In this economy?!?)

Please share your Thanksgiving traditions especially if (like me!) you grew up in an immigrant family and have created your own version of this holiday. We make: Turkey mole, pickled onions, jalapeño cornbread, cranberry salsa, roasted corn, and sage salsa verde (thank you Samin Nosrat!).

Because a lot of people might be talking about journalistic ethics this holiday weekend, I want to put out there how my editor at the NYT does anon sourcing for our stories. If something is stated and attributed to an unnamed person, she wants us to have at least three people verify it.

The most thorough reporting I’ve seen on how Chat GPT is affecting some people’s mental health, (and what the company is doing about it). Great work from @kashhill.bsky.social and @Jen Valentino www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/t...

NEW: For months, my colleagues and I dug into YouTube's conservative airwaves and found a flourishing network of host-read ads on right-leaning podcasts. This phenomenon has enriched hosts, YouTube, and businesses that use ideology to sell. bloom.bg/3Kaio9w

Cheat sheet for a perfect day: wake up on a small island in Fiji and pay a local to take you out on a boat. Snorkel wherever the water takes you until you get hungry. Breakfast is a sprouted coconut you found on the beach and some local fruit. Spend the rest of the day exploring tiny islands.

Just arrived in Paradise (aka Fiji). Going to check out of the world for 5 days.

Now making seasonal glazes for my mugs.

The videos surfacing online from Sudan are horrifying, and I say this as a journalist who has sadly become an expert on violent videos and images uploaded to the internet over the last decade. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/w...

Allan Brooks, the corporate recruiter from Canada I wrote about in August who went into a 3-week-long delusional spiral with ChatGPT, sued OpenAI Thursday, alongside six other plaintiffs. They blame ChatGPT for their mental breakdowns and for four suicides. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/t...

Disney: Be a beautiful princess and a prince will marry you and live happy ever after. Kpop Demon Hunters: Start a girl band with your best friends and slay all the boy demons to save the world.

Was talking to my youngest about Kpop demon hunters, and said something about how the male lead really helped save the day by giving the female lead a piece of his soul. Her response: “Mama, what do you mean, she would have killed him and saved herself either way.” We have come so far from Disney.

Today, a member of my family sent me an AI-generated video (from Sora) with the watermark blurred over. They had no idea it was AI. Amazing, how that took no time at all.

Having a real “you reap what you sow” moment. During peak pandemic years I got my then-toddler involved in regrowing scallions, garlic, and other alliums. She’s now 8, and won’t let me throw away ANYTHING that we can potentially regrow. Our kitchen has many versions of this:

PSA: It’s always ok not to post the violent video, or take yourself off social media if violent videos are a trigger.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb

"Mariam Dagga, a visual freelance journalist for The Associated Press, chronicled the stream of wounded and dead that every day flowed into southern Gaza’s main hospital, where she was often based. [...] Dagga was killed Monday by Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital, according to health officials."

At least half a million people in Gaza City and the surrounding territory are officially suffering from famine, a global group of experts announced, nearly two years into an unrelenting war in which Israel has blocked most food and other aid from entering the Gaza Strip. nyti.ms/4fOZPmP

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.
