UW receives approval to move L&S’s largest majors to new AI-focused school The UW System Board of Regents voted Thursday to move three departments out of the College of Letters & Sciences into a new College of Computing and Artificial Intelligence. 

I have bad news about UW-Madison 🫠 (the MLIS program was already rolled into the School of Computer, Data, and Information Science a few years earlier, which is why it’s part of this move)

my “journalism” “career” started just like this and lasted from 2012 to 2021 and the bookends of graduating from college into all that and COVID were pretty perfect, almost scripted

In case you were worried women's hockey has gotten too advanced, let me remind you today is the first time three Black women have been on the ice together at the Olympics. Canada's Sarah Nurse and Sophie Jaques plus USAH's first-ever Black women Laila Edwards

Laila Edwards shooting the puck during an ice hockey game. The puck is visible in the top right corner of the goal.

I love her and I think sometimes she doesn’t need to make the extra pass and should in fact shoot the puck

I was among the layoffs at The Washington Post today. It has been an absolute dream to be a small part of this incredible team. Covering the Caps has been an honor; being a beat writer is an all-consuming thing that I love deeply. I hope I’ll get to continue that in whatever is next

I was among the many sports reporters laid off by The Washington Post today. Feeling a lot of gratitude for my time working for this paper.

Not looking back. Looking ahead to what’s next!

I was laid off by The Washington Post today. This is gutting for our readers and our section, but I’m grateful for the 4 years I had to cover sports alongside friends and legends.
