This is completely surreal but The Parenthood Dilemma is in The New Yorker!!!! newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…
Best hire ever!
I've started as the ABC’s national AI tech reporter, after 5 unreal years at Crikey.
AI is one of the biggest stories of our time. It's ripe for critical, nuanced reporting about what it means for us in Australia.

For your weekend longread consideration: A case I first heard about years ago, as an urban myth. But as I began to dig into the disappearance of Eloise Worledge, the reality was far more interesting and more shocking abc.net.au/news/2026-01-11/e…

I like in/out year-end lists but some of them read like
IN: Kissing and hugging me, my powers being valued, society recognizing my powers
OUT: Dog biting me, me being forgotten by history, me being forgotten by history and then stepped on by a dog, matcha

can't wait til every university combines all its humanities disciplines into one Storytelling Studies department to be housed in the engineering division
storytelling is the only way to impose meaning on abundance, coherence on noise, & legitimacy on power.
strategy, ops, & capital are all downstream. without narrative control, none it will ever stick.
this has been the core premise of my account. in a world of infinite output, story is the scarce primitive. whoever can compress chaos into something ppl can feel, remember, forgive, & rally around actually runs the system. this skill is worth more than the entire c suite combined.
Incredible episode with Perry Duffin, best crime reporter in the country, recounting arriving on the scene at the Bondi massacre after his friend was shot.
