@MatthewPhillips @business Thank you, Matt 🙏

[Heather Landy @HeatherLandy]

Some personal news, as they say… After a nice break, it’s time for me to get back into a newsroom. And I found a great one. It’s the place where I grew up as a @business reporter, and where I’ll return Sept. 3 as a senior editor, leading Bloomberg’s work and management coverage

@KiraBind @business The perfect gif 👻🐶

[Heather Landy @HeatherLandy]

@eobinphilly @business All of the above!

Laura Lynch was legitimately one of the sweetest, funniest people I've ever known. She taught me how to eat an avocado (sliced, not smashed into guac) and how to properly TP a house (long story but a very memorable night). That she sang like an angel was just an extra delight 💔

[The Chicks @thechicks]

1/2 Laura was a bright light…her infectious energy and humor gave a spark to the early days of our band. Laura had a gift for design, a love of all things Texas and was instrumental in the early success of the band.

@justicesister Oh, Anne, this is just so sad 💔

The fourth and final story in @qz's Merchants of Care series is here, and examines the exploitation underpinning the employment of nurses at US hospitals. @auroraalmendral investigates, with generous support from @typeinvestigate and @pulitzercenter https://t.co/QNkyhN5uqJ

[Heather Landy @HeatherLandy]

For the third installment in @qz's Merchants of Care series, @auroraalmendral went to Nigeria to see first-hand the pressures prompting nurses to leave the country (and the health system they're leaving behind) and asks: Are rich countries to blame?

In part 2 of @qz's Merchants of Care investigative series, the amazing @samanth_s found out how nurses from India get pulled into schemes that exploit private care workers looking for opportunities in the UK. Thank you @pulitzercenter & @typeinvestigate https://t.co/wuYNKGnTpO

[Heather Landy @HeatherLandy]

For @qz, and w/ support from @pulitzercenter and @typeinvestigate, the tireless @auroraalmendral spent more than a year and thousands of miles investigating the impact of a global nurse migration. US/UK nurse shortages means opportunity for work—and exploitation—for others 🌎🌍🌏

[Quartz @qz]

A bidding war for nurses has led to a migration from poor countries to rich ones. What happens to them when they arrive at their jobs? What happens to the health systems they left? In partnership with @pulitzercenter & @typeinvestigate, we went to find out https://t.co/LQitp741pN

[Heather Landy @HeatherLandy]

@ambelenky @auroraalmendral @typeinvestigate @qz Thank you @ambelenky and everyone at @typeinvestigate for your incredible work and generous support for this project!

Given @elonmusk's deep, deep concerns about Google's approach to AI safety, I wondered: Should we all be as worried, or is this Musk-manufactured drama? I asked @WalterIsaacson about this, and about Musk's "hardcore" approach. Fascinating conversation https://t.co/xzRBl2Xsb8

[Heather Landy @HeatherLandy]

I can’t stop thinking about this beautiful question asked by Elon Musk's son Saxon: “Why doesn’t the future look like the future?” I asked ⁦@WalterIsaacson⁩ to examine it with me and wanted to know: Does ⁦@elonmusk⁩ look like the future? https://t.co/4chlPZa92r

[Heather Landy @HeatherLandy]

Anyway, am I a hypocrite for being back here after some time away? Maybe. It's the curse of rarely seeing things in black and white. Principles are vital. So is nuance. As a journalist I value both and I'm intrigued by gray areas, which have their own kind of conflict/story grist

[Heather Landy @HeatherLandy]

Finished the Elon biography and talked to @WalterIsaacson for @qz (video out soon). Between the book's scenes of @elonmusk's ingenuity and now this righteous free speech fight by @X, I feel compelled to tweet for the first time in awhile (thread)

[Heather Landy @HeatherLandy]

Re. the free speech fight in California, @elonmusk finally seems to be grasping the idea of free speech in the way the Constitution deals w/ it—it's about protecting us from government intrusion, not private company policies. And this California bill seems like a slippery slope.
