I’m still lamenting the death of the Google Reader over here (remember blogging?) and this is like 1,000 times worse
The combo of walled-garden social media and AI replacing search means the death of the useful/open/free internet. Why would anyone create anything when it will just be summarized by AI and no one will ever see it? When social media deprecates outbound links, how will anyone find original content?

People mag going harder on Trump than, say, CBS or other legacy outlets was not on my bingo card
“As other legacy media outlets have equivocated on Trump, People’s recent coverage of America’s authoritarian leader includes headlines like: “Trump Says ICE Raids ‘Haven’t Gone Far Enough’ Despite Violence Against Immigrants and Bystanders”; “Trump…
If you’re wondering: has People magazine’s coverage of Trump’s second presidency been pissing him off, per our sources: yes, the literal president has noticed and he’s not pleased, particularly the framing and repeated coverage of his health.

This sucks so hard. Teen Vogue did a better job of calling politics than a few certain national papers.
Hope somebody is staffing up and can hire these talented reporters.

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.

Wikipedia is truly a wonder of the modern internet. Jimmy has sage words about the existential threat posed by how dwindling local news.
But I’m Lulu called him on trotting out the line that bias is why trust in journalism is failing — while Wikipedia is subject to the very same baseless attacks.

Several journalists resigned this week from three newspapers in Alaska after the publications’ corporate owner made significant edits to an article about Charlie Kirk’s death, after pressure from a Republican state lawmaker who had criticized the coverage.

My cat ate a hair tie and ribbon, an almost fatal combination for his intestines. He just finished recovering from surgery and promptly ate part of my purse handle.
Yesterday my vet gave him a heartfelt speech about how his actions are giving his owners a heart attack but I’m not sure it sunk in.
