The pivot to video is a tax on women's time and dignity, I will die on this hill.
One thing about the enormous pressure journalists are under to make videos and TikToks and do streams that kills me is that, like… some of us are meant to be read and not seen. Commenters get SO MAD about the way I look whenever my face breaches containment! Just let me write!

Moltbook is Reddit for AI bots, and some people are freaking out about how amazing and sci-fi it is to see bots talk to each other. But..... it just sucks lol www.businessinsider.com/moltbook-ope...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

American business leaders need to speak up about Alex Pretti's killing
