We had just beaten back a scam attempting to pass off fake, AI-written story as a hard-hitting investigation when @hallielieberman.bsky.social pitched me this. I was pretty sour on AI at the time! Glad I set aside my annoyance to allow that AI might have a positive use: helping women escape abuse.
You’ve heard of women with AI “boyfriends,” but what about women with AI marriage counselors?
Women in unhappy or abusive relationships, both cis and trans, are divorcing their partners on advice from AI, reports @hallielieberman.bsky.social

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

As someone who's lived abroad, I frequently compare the experience of getting health care in those places w/that of the US. So when @rewirenewsgroup.com was pitched a story contrasting the pain & cost of IUD insertion in 3 countries, I jumped to assign it. Wild guess: How do you think the US fares?
I Got Birth Control in Three Different Countries—Here’s How the U.S. Stacks Up
Analysis: Intrauterine devices, or IUDs, are an increasingly popular, long-acting contraception. But pain management and cost inhibit many patients in the U.S. and abroad.

Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

This is a massive swing left for BA legislature. This previously longtime Republican body has been basically almost split even for about a decade, with a sometimes small D majority of a seat or two. +12 is radical departure
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Man. 60 Minutes does such important work. Investigative journalism for a mass audience from a trusted source is rare indeed in today’s U.S.
What will become of CBS News and 60 Minutes?
It’s far too early to say, but a segment on last week’s show isn’t encouraging.
