Welp WIRED laid me off alongside a bunch of other talented people, and on the way out the door I want to appreciate some stories that I was proud to write while reporting on how AI can harm people, accelerate inequality, violate human rights, and threaten society. A thread 🧵:

You will be visited by ghosts on Christmas Eve: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, the Ghost of Christmas Future, the Ghosts of Christmas Pluperfect, Future Perfect, and Imperative. It’s gonna be a long night

I’m not making any resolutions, I think it’s time for the years to be better, not me.

Ahhhhhh! The most awesome person has another book coming out! Pre-ordering! So excited. Teachers, don’t miss this one!

We all face moments when things feel overwhelming, and that’s okay. Remember, you are not alone.

good morning

Voting is but an infinitesimal part of ‘the work’ that needs to happen to make our communities more free. No matter what, trans kids in Texas, babies in Gaza, pregnant people in Alabama, and marginalized folks across the globe need us to hold our elected officials accountable.

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today: – Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them.

If you are in line before the polls close, stay in line. It is your right to make your voice heard. If you have any trouble casting your ballot, call our Voter Assistance Hotline: 833-336-8683.

What’s coming is chaos, confusion, and attacks on every issue you care about all at once. That’s the strategy — mass mayhem and distraction. Don’t let it work. Define your sphere of influence: where you can have an impact, work on that, strengthen/build relationships.

Excited to present at #ncte24 - on Friday at 11:00 with Shana Frazin and my wife Desi Waters about bringing kids' out of school literacy lives to the forefront! It will be FUN! Room 104A. Cannot wait. And on Sat & Sun too w/ other great teams!
