Imagine being obliterated in a rocket explosion 11,000 feet above the Gulf of Mexico because you picked McNeese State over Gonzaga in the Sweet 16.

What a pleasure to be a guest at @mouniribrahim.bsky.social's Digital Content Provenance class at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA). This is the first course of its kind. The conversation was inspiring and so very relevant to this moment in history.

Excellent read @clairelwilmot.bsky.social & @newlinesmag.bsky.social. Tragic and often forgotten conflict in Tigray. This piece really helps give context and share the realities of the conflict in the fascinating lens of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church newlinesmag.com/reportage/th...

I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

Moving and thoughtful piece remembering President Carter from my former boss, Samantha Power. Carter was indeed a dignified, humble, and incredibly accomplished man. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/o...

The made-up drone panic, complete with opportunistic cameos by the usual cast of engagement- and clout-chasers on social media, ensnaring adults with the critical thinking skills of toddlers, is such a perfect distillation of this moment in American history www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

In online drone panic, conspiracy thinking has gone mainstream
Authorities are urging calm. But with trust in media and other institutions at all-time lows, fringe theories are winning the day.

The captagon story is yet another layer to this all. Its discovery in regime-controlled and regime-linked offices serves as further confirmation of the true nature of the Assad regime. #Syria
