Teaching journalism and lit @PrattInstitute. Finished making a new podcast about neuroscience and art. Moved my lil pony and me (parttime) to the Hudson valley.

this is as predictable as it is obscene.

One of my students told me that during a daily hour on TikTok he watches or sees more than 100 videos. Possibly 200. Are we talking attention and learning yet?

We're at behavioral self-justifications by a racist, misogynist mass murderer on primetime US news? So wrong. So sickening.

[EllenBerkovitch @ellenberk]

The "activity" around 3d St. and Avenue C is symptomatic of this era of the last year when the scope of inequity is writ hugely large on the streets and measured by such things as how long has the scaffolding been up.https://t.co/7K3O619rhc

I am under the Illusion (self-delusion?) that looking at houses in remote locations is an aging journo's example of continuing on the hunt.

More murderous violence against women in media and journalism. Lamentations.

[The Current on CBC Radio @TheCurrentCBC]

This week, three young women who worked at a radio and TV station in Afghanistan were murdered by ISIS.

At 8:37am, three women in journalism in Afghanistan — Najiba Ayubi, @HossainiFatimah, and Liza Karimi — weigh in on the situation there. https://t.co/E9FSOwrcbP

thinking of writings @gsholette after finding myself staring down the ruins of consumerism in an empty outlet mall. on shelves: two boxes petrified vanilla marshmallows; a full monte of turkey brine and a very large (very red) mixer with only one attachment. Unplanned art stop.

[EllenBerkovitch @ellenberk]

Great comments @gracielamochkofsky
@newmarkjschool re balancing funders who say what collaborations need to be and working newsrooms left to figure how to reallocate journos' time and co-design sharing of reporting (and credit). How not to be "extractive and unequal" in collab.

[EllenBerkovitch @ellenberk]

News yesterday that Karl Friston has agreed to an interview for my new podcast totally thrilling and sent me back to @lexfridman video channel to listen with imagination.

[EllenBerkovitch @ellenberk]

Tuned in to #kmf21 and remarking to self that the resilient yet often tenuous connection between verifying and accountability are as important now for my students @PrattInstitute and my practice making a podcast @PrattSTEAMplant as when I was just coming up.

One of the saddest days of my life

[Marisa Demarco @marisa_demarco]

A lot of people are asking me what they can do. I think what we can all do is hold tight to each other and keep fighting for the things Hannah cared about. And I just hope she knew how much we love her. https://t.co/aHcExuR5ly

Fires burning in NM. #mediofire. That apocalyptic feeling mashed up with futility.

[EllenBerkovitch @ellenberk]

I somehow wound up with two Twitter accounts and can't figure out how to merge them. But here is a new story I wrote for @NMreport #foodsecurity #solutionsjournalism.

Where there aims to be community and collaborative journalism, media literacy programs need to come in as well. The militarization of so much of our everyday language is numbing.

The t-shirt says it all. Great peaceful march energy Friday and yesterday. Solidarity, trust, unity, messages of change.

[EllenBerkovitch @ellenberk]

Automatic-rifle toting militia members appearing at rallies in Albuquerque and stores in Santa Fe being protected by armed guards. So much violence against free speech and please, reporters on the spot, please find out more.

Did he just actually say NYC "guarantees" healthcare to all its people?

[EllenBerkovitch @ellenberk]

"People are in the streets because they don't have affordable housing, health care, stable jobs.. The things we're hearing from the Mayor are upsetting." Understatement @BrianLehrer

[Yoav Gonen @yoavgonen]

Mayor can't seem to distinguish between protesters and looters. He keeps wanting to talk about the criminal activity that happened this weekend, and not the largely peaceful protests of the past few days
