From the @semafor media newsletter: After New York Times journalist Katie Rosman broke a story raising questions about Amy Griffin’s book, Griffin tried leaning on a university higher-up to block Rosman’s kid from getting into the school.

The allegations around Amy Griffin's conduct — including, with the endless access available to her as a billionaire-by-marriage, attempting to take revenge against the *minor child* of a journalist who reported on her — are really sad and scary. semafor.com/article/10/25/20…

the reporting and photography, including of this Madagascar child drinking from a gold mine's waste water pipe, is incredible. the story is infuriating. a look at how dirty gold is laundered into the world economy, with help from the one org meant to regulate it. nytimes.com/2026/10/19/world…

I have not been to a movie theatre in almost a decade, and am thinking of breaking that streak for the Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Worth it?

Over the last few weeks there's been a lot of whether this platform is back. In that time, this platform has also become the central place where people have congregated to dox a woman who accused seven men of sexual assault. X has allowed it all. nytimes.com/2026/10/16/nyreg…

An FIT student has died after she was drugged and raped in an NYC college dorm room. Her perpetrator took naked photos of her while she was unconscious and sent them to his friends; 45 minutes later he called security to report that she was unwell. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new…

To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.
This is @infinite_jaz rushing to help Heidi under fire from Israeli settlers slings

To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.
The Prime Minister’s Office: The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation. Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable. But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual. The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence. We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.
