Biden rescinded the travel ban, but Trump’s life-altering legacy will reverberate for generations of refugees.

I wrote about one young man whose bright star was snuffed out during America's hour of darkness.

@siobhan_ogrady @nytimes Congrats! Amazing news.

Title X is a superb US program, traditionally bipartisan, to support contraception, cervical cancer screenings etc. But as @JillFilipovic writes in @nytopinion, Trump is now trying to redirect it to address things like erectile dysfunction. https://t.co/QBveZaD1wO

“America should negotiate with China a global pact on AI safety, which would impose universal limits on a technology that can do much good — but, in the wrong hands, would do much harm.”

I feel like in the last week we’ve moved from “everybody is using AI in their writing, just get over it” to “using AI to write is a gross violation of trust and an affront to the very idea of writing and thinking” and frankly I am glad we’re all finally coming to our senses

JOB: We're looking for a Burmese-language digital investigation editor to join my @AFP team in Bangkok. This is a great opportunity for a fluent Burmese-speaking journalist (with good English) to join an international news agency https://t.co/13auOzyxOz

It’s okay for hard things to be hard. On the subject of AI and writing, I like the way George Saunders puts it:

Quoted via @AFP on the big week ahead for Hanoi and its 14th party congress. If General Secretary To Lam acquires the presidency, then “Vietnam will become more like China and North Korea rather than maintaining a separation of powers".

Can’t wait to dive into my advance copy of @RobLalka ‘s new book The Venture Alchemists, which finally made its way to Hong Kong (and which I’ve had the pleasure of reading in drips and drabs since at least 2020). Congrats, Rob! What an enormous achievement.

For years, the people seeking asylum at the US-Mexican border have been diversifying -- then 2023 happened.

13,000 or so Africans crossed in 2022 -- then more than 15,000 from Mauritania alone came in 2023. I spoke to them for @AFP https://t.co/XejLlX2mrM

🎯 The horrors of this war do not have to be either/or. One can both face the mountain of evidence of sexual violence on Oct. 7 and confront the staggering Palestinian death toll

The @AFP bureau in the Gaza Strip, which has been relentlessly bombed by Israel, was significantly damaged by a strike on the building, according to a staff member who visited the site. [1/5]

No one who is in a creative field, or who cares about art or journalism or film or music or storytelling or the incredible human capacity to create, should be capitulating to those who want to suck the human life force out of art. Fight back. Stand with the actors and writers.
