At Aerology, we’re training deep learning algorithms to predict air travel disruption and developing a mobile app to democratize those predictions. While we’re building (and automating), we’ll manually synthesize things here: that means interpreting weather forecasts, flight schedules and airport capacity to derive some rough disruption probabilities. While we have a geeky interest in the national airspace system—and suspect many of our subscribers do, too—we also hope some post views result in saved trips.

HELLO ALL, Welcome to my writing site. This is my favorite virtual hangout and a writing and reading cave. I hope you’ll join me here too. Here is share my column pieces from the multitude of international columns I write for, videos of interviews and lectures old and new, ideas and dialogue on global issues, psychology, arts and humanities, cultural perspectives, emerging ideas of social change, and commentaries on current events whether globally or in Malaysia.

Back to the Front offers a personal perspective on Ukraine, Russia, the Middle East and the Balkans through the eyes of Julius Strauss, a veteran foreign and war correspondent. After 15 years as a correspondent for the Daily Telegraph in the region, Julius was caught up in the Beslan school siege in southern Russia in 2004, in which more than 170 children were killed. He gave up journalism and moved to the Canadian wilderness.

Breaking the News will be the home for regular posts, podcasts, photos, reader-mail, guest essays, and other dispatches from James Fallows—that’s me. I am a long-time reporter and writer of books and magazine articles. At different times I’ve been a public radio commentator; once a White House speechwriter; and for two years a newsmagazine editor. In the 1990s, I was part of a software-design team at Microsoft; I’ve taught at a number of universities; and since the 1990s I’ve been an active instrument-rated private pilot.

Hi there! I’m Jessica Craven. When I’m not writing this newsletter I’m either working to elect great Democratic candidates, teaching my Activism 101 workshop, or making political Tiktoks. I have a trans teenager who’s amazing, a husband who likes woodworking, and a gray tabby named Walter. There’s also a sweet dog named Dolly. This is her. If you’re here you’ve decided you’d like to do a bit more to help our country avoid, well, a collapse into authoritarianism.
