Corporate communications @ Mobileye, self-driving/safety technology that may be in your car already. Former automotive journalist with many interests beyond wheeled objects. Esse quam videri.
Absolutely wild example of how data errors and national surveillance can blossom into serious problems for innocent people. Sorry that @joelfeder.bsky.social had to experience it, but glad he was there to capture it:
Joel Feder@joelfeder.bsky.social · 4w ago"Thank God our kids weren’t with us. I’m not sure if I would’ve been able to react as calmly." Just published the absolute craziest story of my entire career. www.thedrive.com/news/how-flo...
The Mermaid Avenue set was one of the top musical experiences I’ve had. This captures the vibe of the weekend:

While Lord of the Rings fits the trend, it’s too on the nose, and the only workable answer is MUPPET CASINO ROYALE.
Ryan Whatever@silberwhatever.com · 2mo agoWhat should have been the third literary adaptation to finish the MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL and MUPPET TREASURE ISLAND trilogy?
Him: The Scottish drank every bar in Boston dry. Me: That’s why you send the Scottish games to Wisconsin. This would never have happened in Milwaukee.
Have been working around cars much of my life, and I have never heard the term “VIN matched” about a pair of vehicles before. I feel dumber knowing what it is:

There are many sports things to celebrate this weekend, but Lewis Hamilton winning an F1 race for Ferrari after two years brings me joy.
London cops arrive at report of a dead body to find an old police box with a deceased woman outside (Billie Piper). The whole season is a mystery: Who Killed Doctor Who?

The last laps of the Monaco #F1 race coming up in a few minutes may be more interesting than the last several years of racing there.
Also true if you’ve ever smelled a working dairy farms:

The world can be a rough place, but today in DC some 430 bands/performers will be playing across the Petworth Porchfest. It’s a great day to walk around and put your ears on shuffle.
A reminder once again: a US vehicle safety recall is about compliance with law, not the scope of the repair. Typos in owner’s manuals have triggered them in the past.

In my newspaper reporting era, I chased Barney Frank around Congress a lot due to his big role in the Detroit 3 auto bailout/rescue. He was frequently annoyed by reporters, but we got along pretty well - I figured out he hated dumb questions and didn't ask those: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/u...

Jess Calarco@jessicacalarco.com · 3mo agoKind of surprised that this hasn't been bigger news. It's finals week for a whole lot of universities, and yet, Canvas (a learning/grading platform used by ~9,000 schools globally) is currently inaccessible because of a pay-or-have-your-data-leaked hack. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...
My Sony headphone app now offers a ranking of the most popular songs users listened to in the past week. What would Casey Kasem say?
Most guests at the WHCA dinner aren’t daily working journalists — the ones who are were on the clock:
Jim Farley's BaT bid history is an amusing trove of information about the Ford CEO, including that he loves '80s Ford Sierras as much of the rest of us. Also, The Pope apparently misses his six-speed manual Fusion! The Pope can drive stick, y'all! www.theautopian.com/heres-what-f...
Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!
It’s fun—a macabre sort of fun—this parlor game of “Who Goes AI?” And it simplifies things—asking the question in regard to specific journalists. www.todayintabs.com/p/who-goes-ai
Who Goes AI?

For those who hadn’t seen: George Kennedy, a mentor and friend to generations of Mizzou journalism students, died yesterday. He was my boss at the Columbia Missourian for just a little more than a year and remains one of the most influential people in my life.

this is completely insane: since when is it acceptable for a tech company to rewrite news outlets' headlines without their consent? especially at a time when audiences are sensitive to how stories are framed in headlines? (ie Israel/Palestine, the Trump admin, ICE) www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...

I know Scott from my prior DC career - he’s a top-rate journalist who’s done essential work over the past few years. Whatever he does next will be worth paying attention to:
