As AI-driven systems, predictive technologies, opaque platforms, and automated decision-making become integrated into public life, many people are asking: How do communities organize, dissent, or seek justice when decisions are made through AI systems? Join us! #Mozfest2026

Language shapes the help we speak about how we feel as journalists. mdrnet.org builds literacy around mental and emotional strain, helping journalists and leaders translate experience into action. The moment we are able to describe how we feel, the better advocates we are of our wellbeing. 🌳

One of the handful of articles telling it like it is instead of misinforming the public. By @saragoud.bsky.social for @thebulletin.org Yes. Its bad science based on numbers out of various behinds, but that's not how most of the rest of the media is discussing it. thebulletin.org/2026/09/how-...

How the bad science of AI doomerism is good for big business

There is no clear path showing that today’s AI systems will lead to superintelligence, much less a basis for calculating the probability of doom.

After Khamenei, What Now?

Iranians want democracy. Trump wants a brief conflict. Neither seems likely.

Is #journalism’s role to make space for many truths to be acknowledged and understood and/or to make sure people understand the notion of where you are is basically where you stand? Read my latest article. medium.com/@luortizpere... #Ethicsinjournalism #Careawareness
