Earlier this year, I had an important question: why are all songs about my brother — Ethan — about him pooping? Luckily, @agoldman.bsky.social and his team at @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social were there to find out. And now you can too: www.hyperfixedpod.com/listen

In July, @sanshey.inold.news & I travelled with a conservation team to release 14 endangered parrots.
What followed was a story of unexpected twists.

The way billionaire-owned social media companies are going, I think journalists/media/creators have to more proactively encourage audiences to spend at least part of their day being more active consumers, not exclusively passive. Changing behaviours is hard, but better to start sooner than later?

It's no surprise that audiences primarily get their news on social platforms. But what I didn't know is that 77% of news influencers in the US don't have a background in journalism.
