The Post was foolish enough to unleash a bevy of the world’s most talented multi-disciplinary journalists out there for their competition to scoop up. These are some of the most hard working and skilled people I know.

News: I was cut yesterday in a newsroom-wide layoff affecting 300+ staff at The Washington Post.

I spent the last decade leading and building the award-winning Graphics team. I'll miss them.

I'm now exploring senior graphics, cartography, or leadership roles. Intros welcome.

Don’t forget about Daniel @sadbumblebee.buzz himself, who is a brilliant and compassionate writer, climate reporter, and developer — among many other talents.

Some of my faves of his work:

New by me: OpenAI won’t say whose content trained its video tool. We found some clues.

from the genius mind of @janicekchen.bsky.social check out your city's tree diversity and its vulnerability to pests

Does your city have too much of one kind of tree? That can be a problem.
Many urban canopies across U.S. cities are dominated by only a handful of tree types, putting them at risk of being wiped out by an insect or disease.

It's not just the gulf! Here's all the places in the U.S. that share a name with foreign countries - and the etymology behind a sliver of them.

Column | It’s not just the Gulf of Mexico. Why is so much of America named after foreign countries?
Our exhaustive search of American place names discovered that one country has been a shockingly dominant source of inspiration. You’ll never guess which one.

No daylight saving time? See how early or late you would be in the dark.
Would you be okay if the sun rose before 4 a.m., or after 10? Not changing clocks is a popular idea, but we’d have to live with the extremes.
