At least twice the #fcc has referred to reforming a fictional law: the National Environmental Protection Act. It's the National Environmental *Policy* Act. #FactCheck #copyedit #google, #doge staff cuts?

Is anyone else seeing blurred out #joblistings on @linkedin.com with a note that you must subscribe to #premium to access them? I've not encountered that before.

Well, at least they are honest about the working conditions in this LinkedIn job post.

I asked ChatGPT to recommend pretty churches with stained glass windows near me...and got a recommendation for Michael's crafts store. When I walked WTF, it apologized and gave me the same response. Is this the beginning of ads?

I've been playing with chatbots to provide news summaries. ChatGPT is doing quite well, Google Gemini not so much. It predicted fed rate *hikes* and provided these worthless summaries of entertainment news.

Perhaps I'm the last person to figure this out. But using Apple to subscribe to online services seems the most convenient way to both subscribe and especially *unsubscribe*

Wow, these #Amazon strikes organized by the @teamsters.bsky.social are really taking off. Is this a new era of big-tech activism? And what can we expect from tech office workers next year?

More Amazon Teamsters authorize strike-now at DIL7 station in Skokie, Ill. I feel good that @fastcompany.com started reporting on tech labor activism (not just @ Amazon) before latest wave of strikes. Sources like @techworkerscoalition.org say expect a lot more in 2025 @teamsters.bsky.social #Amazon

We wrote about little-know hybrid-electric airplane technology in the @wsj.com in August. @archeraviation.bsky.social 's deal to develop hybrid craft for the military indicates that this trend may have legs. And OG electric plane expert Mark Moore's LinkedIn commentary backs that up.

Any incongruities in this @forbes.com job post?

Lately I've been doing a lot of reporting on
#longevity #healthspan #lifespan etc.
I wonder if researcher/entrepreneur Matt Kaeberlein's public split from researcher/entrepreneur David Sinclair &co portends a bigger divide.
