"CBS News is laying off national environmental correspondent David Schechter, reportedly leaving no one at the network dedicated to covering climate change.

CBS also cut another correspondent, Dave Malkoff, a national correspondent whose work included climate and environmental reporting across the network’s platforms."

CBS axed its last climate reporting pillar

CBS News is laying off national environmental correspondent David Schechter, reportedly leaving no one at the network dedicated to covering climate change. That means that when CBS does cover the issue, the reporting will be more likely to omit scientific context and elevate misleading or contrarian framing, a shift already visible in the network's limited coverage so far in 2026.

Krita’s Maintainer is awesome!
The main thing I learned from the Claude Code leak is that they plan to go out of business before anyone has to maintain it

It'll take me several days to actually get home, but I'm about to start the first leg of the #ProfSamLectureTour return trip.

I'd like to point out that while I was here, the 3 of us friends who wrote the cow-culation paper also wrote a scicomm article https://theconversation.com/a-new-space-race-could-turn-our-atmosphere-into-a-crematorium-for-satellites-276366 and an obituary. (While I also travelled around and gave talks about satellite pollution and helped with teaching).

What a year these last 6 weeks have been! Thanks for all the flat whites, Christchurch!

A new space race could turn our atmosphere into a ‘crematorium for satellites’

Planned ‘megaconstellations’ of satellites could cause unforeseen harm to the ozone layer and climate systems. Global regulation is needed before it’s too late.

Claude Code leaked: Billions for AI security, zero for software hygiene

No hack, no exploit – just a forgotten switch. And it is precisely this process failure that makes the Claude code leak so dangerous, argues Moritz Förster.
