🚨Personal news🚨
After nearly 6 years, my time at @androidcentral has come to an end. Incredibly grateful for every moment and I will miss working with this incredible team ❤️
For now, I am officially open to new opportunities, particularly in PR and Communications!

Today, I got laid off from @androidcentral, along with the rest of the staff. I've enjoyed 7 absolutely amazing years there (5 of which were full time), and am beyond thankful for the opportunity to wake up and be a tech journalist every day.
If you're hiring, my DMs are open!

Well, this is one update I didn't think I would make.
After 12.5 years, my time at Android Central is at an end. I learned a lot, met so many amazing folks, and generally had a lot of fun.
I now need to figure out where to go next. Let me know if anyone is looking to hire.

I was excited to go to IFA, but I had my visa rejected. I submitted 60 pages of documents, IFA media badge, and travel history of the last 15 months (to 12 countries).
The embassy said I didn't share justification as to why I wanted to visit Berlin, and that's just ridiculous.

This is like being a meth head and asking someone who's never done meth how they're going to get through their day without meth

RIP Brooklyn Vegan. Absolutely bewildering. Thinking of all the great people there and the unparalleled music coverage they’ve done over the years. Utterly unceremonious and moronic actions by Veeps.

5-6 years ago, i refused to do the "shock face" youtube thumbnails even though people tell me "it's better for engagement"
now, i refuse to *hand hold* a mic up to my mouth that can be clipped onto my shirt even though people tell me "it's better for engagement"

Thanks @HadleeSimons for the interview & feature in @AndroidAuth - we promise to keep pushing boundaries of what's possible on Android, and break down accessibility barriers when it comes to gaming.

Google saying millions of people use AI Overviews is like saying millions of people love to breathe 500+ AQI air. They don’t. They simply exist in a place where the air has been polluted and have no choice to leave.
Stop shoving down AIO people’s throats and see the number drop.

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

Not only would US be getting ready to nuke Iran if a US school had been hit, but every other world leader from Japan to France to Singapore would be giving an angry speech right now.
The world is so unfair, man. Children's lives, essentially ranked

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Believe it or not, you can be both anti-Maduro and anti-American invasion, at the same time

I never want to hear American presidents lecture the world about the rules-based international order again.
Hadlee Simons retweeted
Btw, the US will also manufacture consent here if the 🍊 feels like it. We need to be very, very wary of the American attention we’re getting (in all forms).

Let me make this clear because of my posts about the United States attacking Venezuela.
I do not give a fuck about Maduro. Putin supports him, and Maduro supports Russia.
Fuck Maduro and his regime.
What I do not want to happen is United States military personal, or Venezuelan citizens getting killed under Trumps false pretenses.
This was not about drugs, it was about oil. It’s as simple as that.
