and y’all need to STOP treating kalshi and polymarket as if they’re The News. they are BETTING platforms, and treating them as if they’re AP or reuters (who they steal their “reporting” from) lends them legitimacy that they did not earn and do not deserve.

My father suffers from PTSD as a result of his time as a 9/11 first responder. Last year while laying in the hospital after an attempt drink himself to death, he told me about a funny thing that happened at Ground Zero. His story inspired a year-long hunt for a lost piece of art. I wrote about it for @vulture edited by @megh_wright vulture.com/article/a-funny-…

A Funny Thing About 9/11

My father will always struggle with his harrowing memories as a first responder. His only positive one got us talking again.

This isn't a new phenomenon, but it is always interesting to see the person who controls this platform and has its most followed account engage with and spread unconfirmed information in the aftermath of a breaking incident.

There is currently no information about the shooter, much less their motive.

Our ex-BuzzFeed team has provided a testimonial to the immigration court about the value of Guan's work and his incredible bravery. I hope that this man - who I am in absolute awe of - is granted the asylum he needs and deserves. You can read more here: hrichina.substack.com/p/man-…

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention site to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many places. He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him. wsj.com/world/china/ice-hold…

ICE Holding Chinese Man Who Documented Uyghur Camps

Heng Guan is awaiting an immigration hearing on Monday that could lead to his removal from the U.S. and ultimately land him back in China, according to his lawyer and a New York-based activist group.

A quick update: A few weeks ago, I left my role as Social Media Director at CBS News after a great run navigating 2024 and first chunk of 2025. I learned a lot and am very thankful for the opportunity to work with an incredible team, but it was time for something different🧵

I took a few weeks off, and now I'm on the hunt for what's next. I'm hoping for a role focused on my passions: finding audiences where they are and connecting them to important journalism, developing newsroom strategy, and building up the next generation of audience specialists.

One of my favorite things about George Lowe was he was constantly doing interviews and press stunts donning a full Space Ghost costume. His interview with C-Span is one of my favorites.
