The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story.
The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth.
And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

FREELANCER TIP: THE 25% RULE!
The MOMENT payment hits your bank account, calculate 25% of the value of the invoice and then transfer that amount immediately to a savings account and DO NOT TOUCH IT. THAT'S FOR TAXES. Then pay yourself the remaining 75%. Account for this when determining rates!!!

“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.”

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Like a decade ago I decided to sit down and do a trans reading of the entire manga series trying to prove just that point. Totally forgetting how one of the last few chapters just straight up ends with this panel.

Hey Folks,
As I clean up my office today, I happened across a bit of a flashback to my days on "The Batman" with my pals Jeff Matsuda and Jose Lopez.
I had great fun doing expression drawings for Jeff's take on Batgirl.
Cheers!

Jess and I turned Saturday night into Cocktail Night. We would experiment with cocktails we'd never tried, and the bartender of the hour set the mood by choosing music to pair with the drink. We did this every Saturday as a date night.
What's a charming memory you have from the worst period of the pandemic?
