A few months ago @thelocal.to got a promising pitch from a writer with bylines in whole bunch of reputable publications—The Cut, The Guardian, Dwell, Architectural Digest, etc. Then I started investigating. Here's a story about fabulists in journalism's AI slop era. thelocal.to/investigatin...
Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era | The Local
A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

cis women gatekeeping period pain is so weird, like, if you’ve had bad gastrointestinal distress before you’ve probably felt something pretty similar

Yeah I can shit on Keith Olbermann but I’m going to also say that Olivia Nuzzi has no self respect & is really a damaged woman. I can see white women making excuses for her already. The grace she’s being shown is never given to black women. Ever.

Olivia nuzzi’s entire career arc makes so much sense after reading this. An aspiring pop singer who turned to writing, in spite of a complete lack of ability for it. Journalism was just a means to fame after being a pop singer didn’t work out
For my newsletter, I wrote about Olivia Nuzzi and the older men who have taken advantage of her her whole life. www.burnsnotice.com/olivia-nuzzi...
Olivia Nuzzi is an Embarrassment to Journalism
She seamlessly landed a plum role at Vanity Fair and got a sweetheart book deal after breaking a fundamental journalistic ethics rule.

I’m reading Black Reconstruction right now, and it’s just so wild that we have this entire bull shit narrative on the civil war being about states rights when the confederate themselves were constantly like “this war is about getting to own people as slaves”

Two weeks into a new program that gives New Mexico children free childcare, officials are opening up about the surge that happened day one & how it’s been moving forward. In just a short time, the state said thousands of children are now enrolled in free childcare, & daycares are lining up to join.

There’s a Video. It was shot on handheld camcorder in the 90’s. That’s why there’s been a whole genre of AI videos that look like they were filmed with 90’s, so that when The Video comes out, there will be Very Measured Speculation that will cast enough doubt on its validity

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Sorry but I think the theme is here. (Also let it be known Issaquah is an affluent suburb of Seattle… far from “shithole” status.)
