This is so crazy because there are so many talented journalists out there who will do the work for very little pay (unfortunately). It's such a weird scam, but also another sign that AI as it exists now is not targeted in the right direction.
“Freelance journalism in 2025 is an incredibly difficult place to build a career. But, it turns out, it’s a decent enough arena for a scam.”

I would get rid of editorials altogether, but it you're going to insist on writing them, maybe move beyond pet peeves.

In college I wrote a piece called "Up Yours Star Wars," which I still stand by, with honorable exception of Andor.
There are two great SW movies (1 and 2 here) and one great show ("Andor"). The rest ranges from fun slop to awful slop.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

I was in the UK, a few miles from Monmouth, when this happened and it was all over the national news that day with reporters/cameras on the scene.
On the frontline of a deluge on the Welsh borders, @juderogers.bsky.social heard local stories of devastation and heroism – but incredibly, the disaster was barely referred to in Westminster and the national press

Today, Supreme Court justices discuss in private whether to take up cases on Trump's bid to curtail birthright citizenship -- on the merits this time.
Probably won't be any immediate action, but seems likely the court will hear the cases this term with a ruling by the end of June.
