Business reporter and '26 @Bagehots fellow in NYC while I learn at @columbiajourn and @Columbia_Biz. 15+ years at @cbcnews too!

But always and forever... فضول

It's goodbye to the newsroom grind for the school year as I kick off my time as a @Bagehots fellow at @columbiajourn @Columbia_Biz.

The reporters in this group are exceptional. I'm excited and thankful for the opportunity to spend these months in NYC with them!

33 years ago today... TRAMAPOLINE! TRABAPOLINE!

#TheSimpsons episode “Bart's Inner Child” premiered November 11, 1993.

@dfriend I’m no longer sure if this is technically the channel originally licensed as “Star!” but certainly it’s that in a spiritual form. Another piece of Znaimer’s CHUM bites the dust.

I'm going to put a hold on this at the public library.

Decided to finally see what this AI thing is all about

[Anis R. Heydari @RadioAnis]

@Mill_Moron I mean I’d welcome a judicial ruling on this. Given the way the laws are structured and how pensions work more broadly… it’s arguable, to be honest.

(I fully get that from a “normal” perspective it feels comical. And I’m not saying the applicants don’t have a case either!)

[Anis R. Heydari @RadioAnis]

@SusanBonner Big congratulations Susan. Speaking as both a viewer, listener and reader of your stories, then as a colleague - well deserved!

Friendly reminder that if there is no such thing as a faithful AI upscale. AI will hallucinate details that do not reflect reality and it will put your integrity at risk to present an AI image as reality

[Anis R. Heydari @RadioAnis]

@RahRahRaina I will admit, it’s just been a couple of months here and I already find myself often confused and (frankly) fascinated with how often I get asked what I want to choose … well, I’d, uh,choose the option that gets me the medication I need? How are citizens equipped to know?

What possible context was offered at the time to change the meaning of this quote:

“But from a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer.”

This WEEK?
Kudos to the journos who keep pushing.

[Ashleigh Stewart @Ash_Stewart_]

It’s been 2 days since we asked the Department of National Defence for an update on the number of injured still in hospital after the CFB Wainwright fire — mostly because there’s conflicting information in recent reporting on this. Wildly different numbers.

After follow-ups, we are told “we expect to be in a position to provide a confirmed update this week”

[Anis R. Heydari @RadioAnis]

Holy dinah, this is impressive. Major kudos to @AnnaEconomist and the Bloomberg team. I wish we had done this at @cbc!

[Anna Wong @AnnaEconomist]

An announcement that is as personal as professional:

18 months ago, we started collecting online prices in real time to track how Liberation Day tariffs were feeding into inflation.

A lot has happened since. The BLS commissioner was fired. The longest government shutdown in US history meant CPI wasn’t published for the first time. And the case for an independent measure of inflation became much stronger.

What started as a tariff inflation tracker has since grown into something much bigger:

The Bloomberg Price Project (BPP), our attempt to build the US CPI from the ground up using alternative data.

Today, BPP covers 87% of the CPI basket, across both goods and services (more new data will be added in coming weeks). Every month, we collect millions of prices from card transactions, e-commerce sites, grocery stores, pharmacies, rental listings, corporate data, Bloomberg Terminal market prices and government records. And more data are coming.

The payoff is detail. Official CPI data let you drill down to categories such as “uncooked beef steaks.” BPP goes much deeper — breaking the CPI basket into almost 700 line items, compared with roughly 200 in the official data.

Brought to you by: myself, Troy Durie, Daniel Ripperger-Suhler, Joshua Danial and Scott Johnson from across Bloomberg Economics.

I learned a lot - worth a watch from my friend John about a disability you are born with versus one that comes on later in life. Take a look, I promise it's worth your time! https://t.co/gPLuY2z0wP

@GK_Fellows honestly it's at times like this (GET IT??!) that I think the CBC should bring back Midday. That way we can just wait for a big flying clock on the TV to tell us when it's lunch

[Anis R. Heydari @RadioAnis]

@CBC I should have included a link to the story!

[Anis R. Heydari @RadioAnis]

It's the @CBC's 90th birthday today! They made a very impressive montage showcasing who we are and what we've done over the decades.

Me: "oh wow they used one of my stories in the montage!"

The story:

@piya @harrisonlowman lol @piya beat me to this response. But I got a good chuckle, and I’ll probably do something similar to my children in the future

[Anis R. Heydari @RadioAnis]

@David_Moscrop OK I know that’s a lot of candy. But also it warms my heart a LOT.

[Anis R. Heydari @RadioAnis]

OK so I got to spend Halloween in Manhattan. And sometimes you’ve just got to enjoy that life is fun

BRAVO KenLariviere 🎃 You win Halloween!!!

[Archie Woodrow @SamuraiApology]

trying to work out why Patrick Stewart's death has affected me more than celebrity deaths usually do, and i think part of the answer is about the way Star Trek: The Next Generation kind of functioned as a slightly more grown up version of Sesame Street??
