sadly it's not in the best interest of a single uber rich person to fund real journalism

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

South Korea has mandated solar canopies for large parking lots. It's a no-brainer. We could offer firms incentives to do it here, or they could just friggin' do it! (H/t @assaadrazzouk.bsky.social)

Here's a little sumptin' I put together a while back...
What if Walmart turned its parking lots into solar farms?
We asked experts to help crunch the numbers.

AI is both efficient and lacks morality.

And it's controlled by profit-seeking entities.

What could possibly go wrong?

Actually, I think what most people really want is for Prince Andrew to "drop a dime" on Trump regarding Epstein, no? #PrinceAndrew #DonaldTrump #JeffreyEpstein #PrinceCharles

"It could be that Trump is now seen as more wearying than enraging; that Canadians are starting to realize no one can deal with him. But that also means the president may be less of a wild card during any future election" - @susandelacourt.bsky.social #Carney www.thestar.com/politics/pol...
Susan Delacourt: Canadians would rather get budget bad news from Mark Carney than Pierre Poilievre, poll suggests
But the same polling also shows that both leaders should be careful about tipping the country into an election with that budget.

"It’s worth noting Indeed’s job vacancy count also tells a somewhat sunnier picture for Canada than Statistics Canada’s payroll employment survey, released Thursday," writes Jason Kirby in @theglobeandmail.com #jobs #Canada www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...
Job postings expose the U.S. and Canada’s shared employment misery
Third-party sources such as Indeed.com are helping fill the data gap during the U.S. government shutdown

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want
