You know my favorite thing about "AI"? It's how pretty much any painted fantasy or sci fi cover now reads as "AI"-generated to me. Really love that. Yep. It's great.

(It is not great. It's terrible. Really freaking terrible.)

your first response might be that bari weiss is incredibly incompetent, but your second response should be that this is exactly what she was hired to do
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Note the timing of this Dem capitulation: Not when Americans are in food pantry lines, only when they're in TSA lines.

And there it is, folks. The AA CEO made the call.

5️⃣ Musician Klaus Flouride (Dead Kennedys) donated records dating back to 1901. “I didn’t want them to go in the trash bin. I know they are preserved here,” he said, looking forward to online access.

A lot of nyt folks, me among them, believed we could change the culture and the coverage from the inside. That by working within channels, we could convince the leadership of its obligation to cover trans ppl fairly.

In hindsight I’ve come to think I was naive.

I miss 'stunting' when a station was changing formats. I posted a couple of one hour recordings from a tiny AM station that helped save my musical life.

It started started in 1980 as KDJQ-AM and was at the far end of the AM band at 1510 khz.

This ran for a week. It's etched into my brain.

I found a one hour 1989 recording of the tiny little rebellious AM station in my hometown that, along with imported John Peel radio dubs, helped shape my musical tastes shortly after high school.

The program director would regularly fly to Europe and the UK to assure he was the first in town.

Hey, everyone! I'm still alive, honest!

I've had three major life events occur in the past three weeks. One of them has been particularly devastating. It's been difficult to motivate myself to do anything, which would be okay if that's what I wanted, but I've hated that 'paralysis.'

This week I decided to leave CBS News.

CBS is a place I loved so much that, after leaving for The New York Times, I returned in 2023 for a new role that had been created for me. But it's becoming a different place now. And I realized now is the time to pursue an independent path. (1/3)

Spent a nice morning sitting outside hanging out with a friend. I know it doesn't fix the world's problems to simply log off, but it's important especially right now to take care of your mental health and stay connected to your friends, neighbors, etc! Fulfill yourself and be there for others.
