An Instagram post about Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to wealthy communities in Marin County, CA, turned one California student newspaper into a free-speech flash point. The students say they were just doing their homework.

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month.

noticing that this quote is more about how everyone ~but~ homeless people are doing. and genuine question, what kind of trauma-informed training has he gone through to approach people on the street? my guess is not nearly enough sfstandard.com/2026/03/12/m...
“We all need to be out and about and seeing what our small-business owners are going through and what our families and our children are going through,” Lurie told the San Francisco Chronicle on Wednesday (opens in new tab). “Our elders have to walk down those streets, too. 

“It is my job to lean in,” he added. “If I’m not doing it, how can I expect my department heads and [SFPD] and sheriff and park rangers to interact with people that are of concern?”

The endpoint of journalism is that an AI startup turns you into a fake "editor" without telling you and against your will www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
The feature, which launched in August, claims to help you “sharpen your message through the lens of industry-relevant perspectives.” When users select the “expert review” button in the Grammarly sidebar, it analyzes their writing and surfaces AI-generated suggestions “inspired by” related experts. Those “industry-relevant perspectives” include the likes of Stephen King, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Carl Sagan, among many others.

The Verge found numerous other tech journalists named in the feature, as well, including former Verge editors Casey Newton and Joanna Stern, former Verge writer Monica Chin, Wired’s Lauren Goode, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Jason Schreier, the New York Times’ Kashmir Hill, The Atlantic’s Kaitlyn Tiffany, PC Gamer’s Wes Fenlon, Gizmodo’s Raymond Wong, Digital Foundry founder Richard Leadbetter, Tom’s Guide editor-in-chief Mark Spoonauer, former Rock Paper Shotgun editor-in-chief Katharine Castle, and former IGN news director Kat Bailey. The descriptions for some experts contain inaccuracies, such as outdated job titles, which could have been accurately updated had Superhuman asked those people for permission to reference their work.

Ok I know I’m late to Super Bowl ads discourse, but anyone newly surprised/concerned by that Ring ad hasn’t been paying attention even a little bit to what Ring is. They’ve never pretended to just make security cameras; the networking and face ID tech has been part of their brand for years.

For @wired.com, I went to a Super Bowl tailgate party near Levi’s Stadium yesterday to ask attendees for their thoughts on ICE, AI, and the halftime show culture wars. What I found was a LOT of love for Bad Bunny, not too much love for ICE, and some really fun fashion moments. 👇
