I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.
It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

If you’re a romance reader might I suggest letting Harlequin know they’re being incredibly shitty and short-sighted

French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

I just had a major issue with my septic system and had it pumped and the main drain line cleaned out, and the sum total of all of Megan McArdle’s columns wasn’t worth the 1500 gallons of sewage or the 5 pounds of tree roots that got removed.

The photos of those Haitian refugees was his first big break, as they earned him the Robert Capa Gold Medal award, which catapulted his career. But at the moment he took the images, he and the other men on the boat thought they were going to die.

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important.
An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

Okay, so AI rips off artists without compensation or permission and uses absurd new amounts of energy when we already use so much it threatens climate catastrophe, and the results are full of errors and misinfo because it’s just fancy probabilistic autocomplete, but is it profitable? Absolutely not.

The solution here is of course a robust welfare safety net so that if she loses her job her children don't go hungry. The solution is definitely not "Let's just let hideous racists keep their jobs no matter how much more racist they get to customers and coworkers."
