Someone hire this young and excellent journalist, who interviewed me last summer about concentration camps for his Texas newspaper. He's won accolades from Scripps Howard, NY Press Club, ONA, NLGJA, and the Society of American Baseball, not to mention a shoutout from Best American Sportswriting.
Friday news dump? I was recently laid off by McClatchy/Fort Worth Star-Telegram. I loved expanding into politics/policy reporting, and pursuing stories about communities underserved by their local paper.

Dusting off my course on financial fraud bc the AI collapse is shaping up to be a cataclysm on par with the OG stock market scam, the South Sea Bubble that burst in 1720.

Granted, wishful thinking is difficult to puncture: last time I taught the course, students were eager to show off their NFTs.
This is as close as the lawyers at the Journal allow reporters to get to "fraudulent fraudsters sighted wearing fraud pants and doing a fraud." www.wsj.com/tech/meta-ai...

Due to an overwhelming amount of Nonsense going on in the US farm sector, I am in need of a half-time to full-time video editor

Anybody know someone who is 1) real good at it and 2) not heinously overemployed already?

Dear military members,
The financial pain you and your families are experiencing is due to the Republican Party’s unending desire to hide Donald Trump’s child sex crimes from public view.

No money in the red kettles. Mutual aid instead.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
