Weather bets on prediction markets like @Polymarket & @Kalshi are booming and attracting all kinds of bettors: normies, weather nerds, AI tech firms. But as the money flows, a debate is growing. Is this crowdsourcing making better weather forecasts or is it just gambling on the atmosphere? 🧵

I've been laid off from the Post today, along with too many of my incredible colleagues, after eight incredible years, most of them in Hong Kong and covering China's expansion, a story that will define our generation.

THE WALL DANCERS: Searching for Freedom and Connection on the Chinese Internet, is out today!!

It's about the Chinese internet and how it transformed Chinese society over the last three decades. It's also about queer communities and entrepreneurs, underground music and migrant labor, solidarity and censorship.

Along the way, I try to make sense of what it means to live with dignity and hope within the technological systems that shape all our our lives.
