Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Amazing Gallup finding reported by @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social today:
“The U.S. is stronger as a nation because it has people from different races, religions and cultures: 84%.”
MSM can’t get enough of “concerns” about multiculturalism. So how bout reporting this?

the Harvard Crimson called Epstein a “child sex offender” while the Chronicle of Higher Ed called him a “disgraced financier” and that pretty much sums up where we are with higher ed journalism

SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend.
Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

This could also be about journalism. The idea of fighting back against the smears was rarely taken seriously, capitulation was widely accepted and treated as both inevitable and right
Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

At the other place, we all put #BLM in our name-thingies, which is still a good idea. For the moment, I’m going with the pig. Would love to see so many that we get anguished MSM takes about whether it’s fair and smart and going low.

As they say, every accusation is a confession. The man is a pig.
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me
