I've been impacted as part of the layoffs at The Messenger. It was a pleasure working with @abebrown716, @dewalt and the tech team there. I look forward to continuing to cover AI and tech policy, but since I'm back on the market it's worth noting I've also covered everything from the use of tech in political campaigns to cryptocurrency and privacy, among other areas. Feel free to share any full time or freelance roles. Finally, here is some of my recent work:

Highly recommend taking a few minutes out of your day to read this absolutely wild story from @curious_founder heated.world/p/meet-the-man-… – at Bahía de Banderas, Nayarit

Meet the man fueling clean energy opposition in the Midwest

Kevon Martis and a group of fossil fuel-funded allies have led a decades-long campaign to sow fear and misinformation about renewable energy. It’s working.

Looks like hosting your own Mastodon server is going to cost less than paying for a blue checkmark on Twitter. Except when you pay to host your own Mastodon server, you own your data, identity, and social graph fully.

So police spotted the vehicle, a short pursuit ensued and they managed to arrest him, a mass shooter, and take him in alive without firing 90 bullets…interesting
