News Summary

• Nic Reuben is leaving RPS to resume his glittering freelance career.
• He was a skilled reviewer and newsman both, exceptional at digging up the offbeat and the darkly fascinating, usually while deploying turns of phrase that could snap your neck with the G’s.
• He also knew when to sharpen that wit and point it fearlessly at deserving targets, be it embarrassing pro-AI op-eds or, uh, the deals posts that our bosses sometimes make me do.
