This story is wild! An imposter has been impersonating ProPublica reporter @robert-faturechi.bsky.social and he tries to figure out who it is.
I built a dashboard to explore the last 25+ years of @nytimes.com coverage. 1.5B words, 2.2M articles, 26K reporters. It's fascinating to look at the world’s preeminent attention-gathering org not as daily stories but as patterns of attention, ebbing and flowing. tedalcorn.github.io/nyt/

A mysterious impostor who claimed to be ProPublica reporter Robert Faturechi reached out to a Canadian official and a Latvian businessman working with Ukraine. So, the real Robert did some reporting of his own.
If you are user of the Python package Pandas, I cannot recommend switching to Polars highly enough. #astrocode
