🚨SCOOP🚨 I’ve joined @nytimes! I’ll be covering business and technology, with a focus on AI, for @dealbook
Send me tips at [email protected] or via Signal at srimuppidi.13. I’ll still be based in SF, so invite me to your happy hours & events.
Here’s me from my 1st day!

Business Insider has moved away from aggregation. Under @JamieHeller leadership, the website is 80% scoops/exclusives niemanlab.org/2026/07/busine…

Always, always, always read @mjcontrera. Her latest, originally meant for The Washington Post, isn't just about AI. It's about family and grief — and how sometimes, it's easier to talk to a chatbot than each other. In this week's @NewYorker:

When my dad died, @om sent me this beautiful message. Today, his words feel prescient.
“His life was a gift… I hope you will find his memories and his lessons as a guiding light for the future.”
Here’s the to carrying Om’s light forward. ✨🙏❤️

the best part of succession is that it never used flashbacks tbh. a whole show about familial trauma and abuse was weaved into the way everyone interacted with one another, that specific kind of pain you can only pick up on based on how siblings fight and share stories

Eli Northrup winning is so amazing, he’s truly a saint
The way he helped formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs in the New York cannabis space without ever once taking credit is next level
He’s a mensch in every definition of the word and I’m so happy he’s heading to Albany

The @NYCMayor youtube channel no longer has the old pressers and streamed events from @ericadamsfornyc and @BilldeBlasio. This is critical for broadcast reporters who want to use archival sound and footage. It’s also NYC history. Please bring them back! @the_vello @anna_bahr

Being 43 is wild. People your age are living completely different lives.
Some are grandparents. Some are raising toddlers. Some are newly divorced. Some are newly engaged. Some haven’t slept in three years. Some are in St. Tropez posting Aperol spritzes from a yacht.
Some look 25.
Some look like they personally remember the invention of Tupperware.
Nobody got the same assignment.

Last Friday, a Brooklyn woman was forced to give birth in shackles in open court after 24 hours in custody. Police and courtroom staff denied her adequate medical care, bodily autonomy, and privacy as she went through labor. 1/

Thinking today of an Everlane ex-employee who told us this in 2020

new @NewYorker column, on the rise of hyperlocal neighborhood email newsletters, solo shoe-leather operations telling you what's going on on your block.
In Brooklyn alone there's the Carroll Gardens Times, the Court Street Journal, the Grand Army Gazette, the Boerum Bulletin...

Not to be dramatic, but if we lose @NYMag too, I might die

My ex Dan Eggen passed away. I miss him already, I keep texting him as if he will respond. He had been laid off not long ago from the Wash Post but had texted me how excited he was for his new job at NOTUS. (More)
