Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

The CEO of Fiverr sent the following warning to employees that AI is coming for their jobs
“It does not matter if you are a programmer, designer, product manager, data scientist, lawyer, customer support rep, salesperson, or a finance person - Al is coming for you”
Shopify, Duolingo and now Fiverr

The final part of my series on children and the declining box office is here! This week, I ponder the future of labor in the entertainment industry and if the kids are destined to be forever freelancers.

I literally know nothing about this group, but I am very interested in the labor aspect of all of this and how we are moving towards online videos that appear all homey and relaxed but actually are fully produced production! (i.e. Kai Cenat!)
