Enormous congratulations and respect to @jkbjournalist, @caseyfrank1 and @EmilyMichot for this long-overdue and well-earned honor. Few journalists can claim to have wrought greater -- and more lasting -- change than these three, both for survivors and our culture. Bravo!
I did not do the Jeffrey Epstein investigation alone. I had the support of @MiamiHerald —it’s then executive editor, Mindy Marques; and these two incredible journalists, investigations editor Casey Frank and visual journalist Emily Michot. Thank you to all the courageous victims who shared their stories with me, and to those on the Pulitzer Board who made this honor of a lifetime happen. #pulitzerprizes

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this.
Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.

He is trained to ignore tourists, hecklers, and bad weather. He was not trained for this.The Queen's Guard is famous for their discipline. They are forbidden from moving, smiling, or reacting to anything. But this local stray cat didn't care about royal protocol.
He saw the red uniform and the giant fuzzy hat and thought: "New scratching post." While tourists watched in shock, the ginger tabby climbed up the soldier's back, sat on his shoulder, and inspected the hat. Through it all, the guard didn't flinch. He didn't blink. He stared straight ahead while being used as a human jungle gym. The soldier deserves a medal for discipline. The cat deserves a medal for audacity.
