Sometimes I forget exactly how quickly AI has advanced. Working on something about birthright citizenship and data for second generation immigrants. Finding and collating research took me weeks in 2024. Right now Elicit is doing it in..... minutes. That's extraordinary.

Who puts their voter guide (a total for-the-public-good product) behind a paywall ON election day? Apparently @sfchronicle.com I will gladly pay for local news, but honestly, voter guides should be free and this was not behind the paywall yesterday, which feels extra tricky.

This is why the USAID cuts have been the topic of nearly every convo I’ve had with other journalists lately. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/b...

chúc mừng năm mới!! This is also my yearly reminder to journalists that multiple other Asian countries celebrate Lunar New Year, so please be culturally inclusive and call it as such as opposed to Chinese New Year, which continues the poor practice of lumping diverse, rich countries together.

I have never read a "morning routine" from any person (celeb or non) and 1) beleived they actually do that every day 2) thought their routine is doable for a regular human being.

Every year, I release the booklet I designed to help me reflect on the last year and set goals for the next. This year, I didn't change the design, but some key questions have been adjusted for today's times. I release it as part of my newsletter The Middles. buttondown.com/kimbui/archi...

Writing this was a bit of a leap for me (I don't usually pontificate on funding), and it's an argument that only has so many legs, but we can all agree 2025 is going to be a pivotal point for press freedom from oligarchs / plain ol billionaire owners. This, I think, might get lost in that fury.

I use @buttondown.com but beehiv is good too. Substack…does not match my values.

Every year, I release a goal setting workbook. I create them for free, and have sent them to my newsletter list (themiddl.es). I haven’t sent anything on that list for a year. If you use the booklet, tell me: keep it on my newsletter list and hope I write more next year or release another way?

Computer science pioneer and United States Navy rear admiral Grace Hopper was born #OTD in 1906. 🧪 👩‍🔬 As far as I am aware, she is the only person who has both a supercomputer and a US Navy destroyer named after her. (1/n) Image: Computer History Museum

Because I’m mildly annoyed, if you’re looking for media/news folks to follow, I strongly suggest you look for ones with diversity and this one popular one I see is….not diverse at all. A good example: go.bsky.app/BmnETn7

Non-midwesterners never believe that my first exposure to Mexican food was a place called Chi Chis (yes, now I know what that means). But I bring you proof, it is apparently coming back?? www.msn.com/en-us/foodan...

So being a widow made me realize how terribly we treat people who are going through things like this. Most places barely give you bereavement leave and FMLA is a fight. I was lucky enough to have an understanding workplace, but many aren’t.

If I'm gonna invest in this thing, is there an app that is worthwhile? I miss Tweetdeck.
