@TheConversationUS @jeff Actually, seems to be caching because I’m seeing some posts of newer articles with the link 🙂

@TheConversationUS @jeff But I’m not seeing “More from The Conversation” link below. Do you know if thIs is because the article metadata is cached, or because this needs to be while listed somewhere?

I haven’t been to Atlanta in over a decade - if you see someone wandering around looking for CNN Center, that’s me

Inspired by sessions at #INSS, I'm sharing this comment from a reddit user about one of our articles, which captures the value of @TheConversationUS so well:

"This article felt like a huge breath of fresh air, I've been seeing waaay too many AI written articles or just poorly written in general. I actually read the whole thing instead of just skimming through, something I haven't done in a long time"

Does Tim Walz use the word ‘damn’ too much?

My favorite factoid about Tim Walz is that during his career as a high school teacher, in the same year, he coached the football team to a state title AND served as the faculty advisor for the school's first gay-straight alliance (GSA) club.

What does the VP actually do? (Asking for a friend)

That's one of the questions we are thinking about, with current vice president Kamala Harris poised to announce Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.

Bad: horse race journalism about polls
