Living in Florida for nearly 12 years must have prepared me for Singapore, because the weather is not as bad as the Internet made it out to be. It’s also one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited.

I spent that past week in NYC chatting with too many wonderful people to list about AI Ethics + Journalism with @poynterinstitute.bsky.social and @apnews.com. More to come soon, but a huge shout out to @alexmahadevan.com and @aimeetwoee.bsky.social! Y'all both made this a wonderful experience.

I have curated this app with almost nothing but journalism friends, journalists and other news sources. It’s a bleak space to be in. But outside there’s wonderful light over my mountain.

I’ve had By the Fire We Carry on my shelf since its release waiting the right time to read it. It’s a powerful journey and just reinforces everything we’re currently experiencing. Even though I knew most of the history I was still so incredibly angry while reading. @rebeccanagle.bsky.social
