Kudos to my The Wall Street Journal London colleagues for lining up for buzzcuts to support ⁦Evan Gershkovich⁩ who got a prison buzzcut of his own while he faces false charges in Russia. By the time the hair grows back, we hope he will be home! #IStandWithEvan

NEW: We took a gander at what TikTok was showing before and after the Biden-Trump debate, relying on a network of automated bots we've set up. With the esteemed John West (and great visuals by Ariel Zambelich): wsj.com/politics/elect…

I've read ~400 books in the last 5 years and keep an obsessive spreadsheet with tags for each book. I've implemented a "self-organizing map"—an older #machinelearning technique that clusters like with like—for my books. I'm on vacation, considering writing something up about it.

Burst into tears when this push alert landed. I don't have the words. Thank you to everyone who helped make this moment happen. Every post, share, button worn and event hosted/attended mattered. #FreedEvan

WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich is free. This is a day of great joy and relief for Evan, his family, WSJ colleagues, and all those who campaigned so hard for his release. It is also a great day for press freedom. Follow the story here (no paywall) wsj.com/articles/evan-…

This Reuters investigation is equal parts shocking and powerful: "How a US health agency became a shield for polluters." Just fantastic work from Jaimi Dowdell, M.B. Pell, Benjamin Lesser, Michelle Conlin, Phoebe Quinton, and Waylon Cunningham. reuters.com/investigates/s…

Elon Musk has tweeted about 300,000 words over the last 5 years. Add on what he’s often replying to, and that’s 1.5 million – about the length of two King James Bibles. Wall Street Journal analyzed them all for you. (1/4) 🧵 wsj.com/tech/elon-musk…
