Would like to hear Cassidy’s insight into the intentions behind posting a racist meme.

Coincidentally? he was not sworn in and did not testify under oath.

As I posted, at the heart of the parable of the blind man and the elephant, there is an actual elephant. Journalism's job is to describe, as best as possible, the elephant, not amplify each limited perspective as a potential true picture of the whole.

At the heart of the parable of blind men describing parts of an elephant, there stands an actual elephant.

Journalism's job is to convey the reality of the elephant, not portray each dissenting view as a potentially accurate depiction of the whole.

If it’s close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades, it’s good enough for air travel, amiright?

One of many error-ridden paragraphs in an article about Richard Zimmer: "His son Carl Zimmer, a popular science writer, recalled his father as 'a talented golfer, a great cook, and a skilled craftsman who took pride in every project around the house.'”

Newsmax fabricated a quote from me about my father Richard Zimmer today. They never contacted me. It's not just outrageous but funny. He was talented in many ways, but most definitely not at golf or cooking or craftsmanship. www.newsmax.com/john-gizzi/z...

Yes, if one person says it’s raining and someone else says it’s not, open the window and see.

I read this paragraph four times. Not because it's murky, but to let the message sink in. www.cjr.org/tow_center/b...

If an information company is clear and determined in supporting (not "saving') democracy, then it can be a home for good journalism. If not then the press must disengage. Now.

Or punish them for being sick. I was completely healthy until a routine mammogram revealed a small, nasty breast cancer that I’m in the process of stomping into oblivion. My premiums should go up? FFS, I’m a human being, not a car or a house.

It’s not just about springing forward and falling back; time zones are also out of whack. Revisiting this look at the implications of how we mark time.

On avg, having a baby in the U.S.costs nearly $3,000 out of pocket; infant childcare costs about $18,000/yr. (And far more in some areas.) Can't imagine why Americans aren't popping out more kids.

Curious about THC inflation and contamination in legal cannabis? I'm on Reddit today at noon PT/3p ET to talk about my investigative reporting for @Undark. Ask me anything!

Can In-Utero Exposure to Acetaminophen Cause Autism and ADHD? The question is a matter of fierce debate among scientists. Now it's making its way into the courtroom.

I’ve updated a ‘23 Undark story that takes a deep dive into the data on the potential link between prenatal use of acetaminophen and neurodevelopmental disorders. It reflects the uncertainty and nuance that is missing in much of the coverage. I hope you’ll read and share. undark.org/2023/07/10/c...

Can In-Utero Exposure to Acetaminophen Cause Autism and ADHD? The question is a matter of fierce debate among scientists. Now it's making its way into the courtroom.

To answer key questions about a possible link between acetaminophen and autism, I recommend this deep dive I did for @Undark in '23. Since then, a review of 46 studies found inconsistent evidence and a Swedish study of siblings (one exposed; one not) found no association. undark.org/2023/07/10/c...

Good Lord, no. You are not interviewing Joaquin Oliver and this is not journalism.

What could go wrong?

The question implies a moral justice that doesn’t always materialize. Some people will carry their evil or misguideness to the end without a pang of conscience. But, regardless, the world will move on.

The U.S. struggles to regulate the booming cannabis market without federal guidance.

Legal cannabis products often fail independent tests for THC, pesticides, & heavy metals.

My investigation on the cannabis industry for @undark.org — supported by @pulitzercenter.bsky.social — took me from farms in OR to MA testing labs to the OK capitol, uncovering corruption and highlighting change makers along the way.

It's quite the ride. Enjoy! undark.org/2025/07/16/c...

Or — hear me out — maybe the key question is how girls who were raped find justice.

World’s Premier Cancer Institute Faces Crippling Cuts and Chaos - KFF Health News After spearheading a 34% cut in cancer mortality, the National Cancer Institute at the NIH is bleeding resources and staff and could see its budget cut by nearly 40%.

I'm currently in treatment for an aggressive breast cancer, so this is personal. But, good grief, cancer touches every family. This affects everyone. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

A great example of the need for a public editor. The story may have been a calculated attempt at both-sides-ism, but that can't have been worth the reputation hit.

FFS. Mom, journalist, and former Texan here. Texas is purple. Children are dead. No one deserves this. In the worst moment of their lives, the last thing folks need is another unempathetic asshole.

@nytimes.com You know what would be awesome to have right about now? A public editor.

Godspeed to journalists covering the protests. Be safe. Shine a light.

Bookworms.

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far.

In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...
