The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

There's no way this hasn't been an open secret among some journos and politicos for over a year. The fact that it took until now for it to be disclosed (behind a paywall!) is damning on the industry's own terms
okay so here’s the actual bad part of the article

“oh it never affected my coverage” horse and also shit

and what the fuck is Lizza doing sitting on this while RFK takes a buzz saw to American health so he can sell substack subscriptions

and with that, a person who might have become some kind of prolific serial killer was rerouted onto the path of writing the most unholy fanfiction of all time
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

I have never heard of a default under circumstances remotely like this—the defendant fired his entire defense team, and new lawyers showed up on the first day of trial, and weren’t admitted in the district and one was literally an accused felon out of bail

I think this is spot on. It's fun to poke at the shitty writing, but it's an absolute travesty that the Olivia Nuzzis of the world still have lofty perches in the journalism world while so many talented reporters are struggling. All the joking only boosts her profile as a "journalist"

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.

2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.
