The VC media playbook really seems to be:
*Buy a struggling legacy media brand
*Fire most of the reporters, strip it for parts
*Expect to get similar pageview numbers even though you're doing little to no journalism now
*Maybe ChatGPT can write us some free articles?
*Shit somebody saw us
Sports Illustrated appears to have published affiliate articles under the bylines of fake writers, complete with made-up bios and AI-generated headshots. After we asked The Arena Group about it, the bylines were deleted entirely. For @futurism.bsky.social

New York Times writers who signed a letter in support of Palestine had to resign. New York Times writers who display this kind of openly sneering contempt for pro-Palestinian arguments get their words published in the paper. www.nytimes.com/2023/11/09/u...

A copy of “Twelfth Night” just spontaneously combusted
A Texas high school has told a student he can't play the male lead in "Oklahoma!" because he's transgender, citing a new school policy requiring all roles in student productions to be cast based on the gender assigned at birth.
Sherman High School transgender student loses lead theater role over gender policy
The district said for this specific show, the gender of the role as identified in the script will be used for casting.

when wikipedia launched, the idea that an encyclopedia could be reliably maintained by the public was a joke. now, it's a marvel, a remarkable resource, virtually the only website that remotely delivers on its potential and practically the last pleasant browsing experience on the internet.

I was trying to explain to my coworkers why I didn’t want to win the lottery because if I had a billion dollars I would immediately show my ass as a complete moron and they didn’t seem to get what I meant but this is what I meant…
I finally got hold of the government exhibit that SBF's lawyers worried prosecutors were using just to "show that he’s some sort of crazy person"

New- Reported on viral falsehoods on X. I and my colleagues found the attack in Israel saw posts that led to confusion, misinformation and conflict on X, exposing how Musk's policy changes transformed the platform into an unreliable resource during a crisis.

*extremely* telling that the NYT frames a family leaving a state because their trans son literally could not get the medical care he needed as a "politically motivated move" and an abstract "issue" rather than one connected to their child's intrinsic humanity www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/u...

In my latest column at @rewirenewsgroup.bsky.social, I pull together some threads from recent reporting to ask: Are anti-trans activists going to use the “crisis pregnancy center” playbook against trans people? rewirenewsgroup.com/2023/10/03/w...
Will Conservatives Use the 'Crisis Pregnancy Center' Playbook to Attack Trans People?
The anti-abortion and anti-trans movements share many core beliefs and goals, leading us to some ideas about what their next moves may be.
