Journalists. Please. Too many of you are going to call this a tax “on Colombia”.
It’s a tax on Americans. All Americans who ever drink coffee. Or buy cut flowers.

Nearly all coffee consumed in the United States is imported, and the largest source of that coffee is Colombia. Trump is putting a 25% tax on our top source of coffee, and that tax will be passed on to American consumers
BREAKING: Trump orders 25% tariffs on all goods from Colombia after 2 deportation flights were rejected

Technically, he /tried/ to tell a bunch of journalists, but only ProPublica followed up on the story, which tells you everything about how the mainstream media treats right-wing terrorism with editorial kid gloves.
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

Whenever critics say that abolishing the police will only lead to more private security that are even further shielded from public scrutiny, I’m reminded that police already take millions from Big Oil, tech giants, and a number of multinational corporations

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are
The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."
BuzzFeed sells "Hot Ones" studio for $82.5 million as it pursues more AI-driven content
The company said the sale will allow it to depend less on human-created content in favor of "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."

Someone from the news was there for the initial spill, before the goop multiplied 100 times and engulfed the road. We can't find the guy who took the picture. Sad.

It's very funny when NPR is
interviewing an expert in something and it all feels fairly normal and evenhanded and then at the end they're like "and that was Christopher Halliburton from the Center for Exploding Venezuela"

I'd be so mad if I was like a data scientist doing AI-adjacent research that was not evil. Like if you specialize in using machine learning for some legitimate research purpose and now it turns out everybody thinks you work for Shitty Skynet

1. On day 1 of prefiling, Republicans have filed 32 anti-trans bills in the state of Texas.
The bills target transgender people with bounties, could shut down Pride parades, ban gender marker changes, and force mass-scale chromosome testing.
