@KaitlynMcGrath @wusa9 Hey, @KaitlynMcGrath — Seeing. conflicting info: NOAA says 'tornado warning,' which means 'actual tornado.' But in the same alert says 'thunderstorm with conditions capable of tornadoes.' That's a watch, right? https://t.co/6bvL34bNuW

More rough news for publishers — having an AI summary on the page reduces clicks to search results by roughly half. And only 1% of people click a link from within the AI summary.

What's cooler than retro synthwave dappled with Japanese fusion? Having a son who just published his first EP, all in that style. Torn between being a proud dad and a fan, so I'mma go with both.

Convinced @Newsweek has the greatest newsroom breakroom view in all of breakroomdom. As a native Nebraskan, this never gets old:

The smell of democracy in the morning — captured on the commute from DC to @Newsweek HQ this morning on Election Day. No matter who you touch a screen, pull a lever or punch a chad for, get out and vote!

@lilyraynyc @danielwaisberg If I had a dollar for every time I downloaded GSC data did Excel-side massaging, I'd retire early!

But seriously: Have you thought about using Looker Studio connected to GSC? Can then do longer time frames, better viz, blend w/ other sources, etc.

NEW: Axios is laying off 50 people across the company. CEO @JimVandeHei just sent out this note — which says the layoffs are because of “changes in the media business”

Butler county district attorney Richard Goldinger tells me Trump was grazed by gunfire but is safe. An audience member was killed and the shooter is dead. Another person is in serious condition, the prosecutor said.

Sure, fireworks photo. But you gotta admit this is a pretty great view. Newsweek HQ:

Me: Did we really need a spinoff of The Office?

Also me: It's set in a 'dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it??' — BRB subscribing to a thousand Peacocks

In the 72nd floor of the World Trade Center, the @Newsweek newsroom has to have one of the best views in the nation. So cool to share the space with guests as we host the World’s Greatest Auto Disruptors.

Two reasons to watch the first episode of this @Newsweek series untangling the quirks of human behavior —

1: It's fascinating. 2: Features the always riveting astronaut @Cmdr_Hadfield

🔴 Why we think better in the shower?
🔴 Why we keep checking horoscopes?
🔴 Why we procrastinate?

We're partnering with best-selling author @MartinLindstrom & renowned cartoonist Liza Donnelly for a fascinating 9-part series titled “Why Do We…?”.

We’ll talk with everyone from Nobel laureates to astronauts to find the answers to these (and many more) fundamental questions.

This is an outstanding, thorough review worth reading. Also it has this dystopian sentence: "Unlike any other TV in your life, the Vision Pro can literally DRM your eyes — if you’re watching a movie and go to take a screen capture, the content blacks out." https://t.co/RIVQxGH98H

@BrunoPresents There has to be some kind of 'normalcy' index measured by trick-or-treat counts. Saw a lot of older kids, too — glad to see they made up for lost time after getting ripped off with a few years of weak Halloweens.

[Jess Awtry @jawtry]

We are getting MOBBED with trick-or-treaters. It's Spielbergian out there. Ran out of candy long ago. We are down to protein bars, y'all. We're 11 trick-or-treaters away from giving out Taco Bell hot sauce packets.

Building my crow army, day 82: they vanished for a few weeks and came back with extended family! 10 of them out there, patiently waiting for snacks.
