This was a great newsroom, which produced great stories and nurtured great talent.

Could not be more deserved!! Jen is the magical force holding Maisonneuve together all these years and just toils tirelessly behind the scenes ❤️

Bystander on the F line: “I already regret not intervening, and I'm not sure why I couldn't. Part of it was shock. … “There just was not a lot of compassion for the person lying on the floor, not breathing." hellgatenyc.com/confusion-shoc…

When we launched Hell Gate *subscribe today!*, it was a bet (a guess? a hope?) that a lean news shop, owned and run by journalists, supported by and accountable to readers, could offer a way forward for local news. One year later, we’re still here. This might just work! hellgatenyc.com/hell-gate-birt…

This is a legit bombshell washingtonpost.com/history/2023/0…

BREAKING: New report says the Earth is likely to cross the 1.5C climate threshold by 2027 - far sooner than had been thought. We are speeding toward complete environmental catastrophe. Stunning how little the world's major powers are doing to stop this. theguardian.com/environment/20…

I'm in New York and

Absolutely effin' crazy. According to an estimate by NRCAN on July 17th, Canadian wildfires this year have thus far emitted 1.42 Gigatonnes of CO2equivalent 👀 That's more than 2X Canada's entire anthropogenic emissions in 2021.

Anyone have any good links or anecdotes about what regular Canadians can do/are doing in response to the Meta online news ban? I know about the ad boycott but am wondering about any other actions people have taken, no matter how small-scale.

Put Adrienne Arsenault in charge of the CBC

Extremely sad about this news out of Halifax about the first paper I ever worked at, which was full of great people and IMO needed on the east coast.

This is truly a moment for campus media, who know their own campus better than everyone else. I’m listening to WKCR, the Columbia student radio station right now, and it’s another level of up-to-the-minute: cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/#

This is incredible 💀

Delved into real-life futurism with this piece about predicting wildfire - the recent bad seasons spurred some amazing science. Foretelling lightning strikes days ahead of time, pinpointing tiny breaks in grassland across the entire USA, other wild stuff. theguardian.com/world/article/…

Also! For some reason NYC has been announcing its porous pavement projects a few miles at a time, but what it hasn't explained is that it's actually turning 40+ miles of South Brooklyn parking lanes to "sponge" - the biggest test/use of this technology in the U.S.

If you're buying flowers for someone tomorrow, make them tulips. They're the only flower mass-grown in the USA/Canada in winter and are more climate-friendly than the rest. (Did a tulip write this, you may ask?? Nope it was me) nytimes.com/2025/02/12/cli…
