Today is World Homeless Day, and after years reporting on this crisis, I'll just say: homelessness is neither inevitable nor intractable. It's the result of choicesβ€”political, economic, moralβ€”that can be unmade.

And this: how we treat the unhoused is a bellwether for the violence we will tolerate.

Talia was born today in one of Gaza's last hospitals. Her mother, my friend Sama'a, needs all the help we can give to keep her safe and healthy. Even a small donation makes a difference.

Is the Magic 8Ball sentient? We asked the Magic 8Ball, the company that are raking it in from the toy & the players who are using it rather than going to therapy.

An LLM is a predictive algorithm that replicates the most common or likely response. It's like asking if a fruit machine is suffering.

Are we planning to watch Israel murder every journalist in Palestine while still making sure we're being careful not to single out Israel because it makes it feel bad? What is the fucking plan? Who are you calling today? Where are you sending money today? What meeting are you signing up for today?

writing a book is so vulnerable, and yet so much self-doubt and humiliation goes on behind the scenes! worth a read, even if you're not a writer, or a published writer, or someone who aspires to either.
