My podcast with @mmasnick.bsky.social and @berinszoka.bsky.social is up now! Listen to me nerd out about the Fourth Amendment, Berin nerd out about the history of the FTC, and all three of us complain about this terrible, terrible FTC order with Aylo.

Condition: “Used — Good”

Uh, ok buddy
Screenshot of a Facebook Marketplace listing offering for sale a 12” wasp nest. The listing includes a photo of said nest beside a measuring tape, for proof. The seller’s asking price is $40. Out of frame, the item’s condition is listed as “Used — Good”

Now, in this exciting new chapter, I get to be even more involved in the important discussions that produce the technology we use every day.

A huge thank-you to Lara, Ned and rest of the team at Google. Let’s go!

For fans of the channel, worry not: the stream isn't going anywhere, though the schedule and format will likely need to flex going forward. (If you’re not a follower yet, come join the fun at twitch.tv/BrainFungi.)

This year I got to combine both those interests by becoming a creator and launching my own channel on Twitch, an experiment in new media many of you graciously supported.

I’m immensely proud of my reporting at world-class newsrooms like CNN and The Washington Post, where I helped millions grasp how technology, and technology policy, can influence our daily lives. I care deeply about the future of journalism, and about the decisions that shape the internet.

Having spent the last decade covering dialogues on internet policy, I’m excited for the chance to be a part of one. The conversation unfolding now is urgent, nuanced, and vitally important to everyone who relies on the internet for knowledge. There’s no better time to jump in.

Both tech and media are in a season of disruption. In my new role, I’ll be thinking and communicating about Google’s involvement in some of these monumental changes, looking to build bridges and a better understanding of the shifts that are transforming the web.

On Lara Levin and Ned Adriance's team, I’ll apply more than a dozen years of journalism experience to help Google address novel, challenging questions about what AI means for news and the broader information ecosystem.

Actually, I take it back — for some reason the lifeguards turned off the music in the middle of ”Never Gonna Give You Up,” which IS a crime

Takes some real skill to have the same Rule vote nuked by the same folks in your own party two days in a row. 👏🏻
