It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

And to spice it up just a little bit, I will match the first 100 donations of $5USD exactly that are made before the start of the run. Obviously it’ll be great if we get more, but I figure that’s likely what my goof would have cost me 😃.
So head over to desertbus.org and get those $5 donations in!

So here’s all I’m asking. If you’re reading this and you can throw $5 towards the cause before we start that would be swell! If all 7600 of you who follow me on BlueSky do that (and I assume you’re all active users who read every post I make) we’ll break records!

Few dare to pilot the Zeta Shift, starting at the stroke of midnight and running all the way to 6am. The Zetaful Eight ride again, bringing chill conversation, high stakes brick assembly, and musical interludes. If you're a night owl or on the other side of the world, they've got your back.

Technically kicking off the show (since we start at 3pm), and then occurring from Noon-6pm daily is Alpha Flight! With familiar faces shuffling into the shift, it's hard to pin down what they'll be up to this year, but we're sure it'll be fascinating.

We're 18 days (!) away from the start of our 19th run. Why not spend the next week with us welcoming the volunteers working in front and behind the cameras to keep our show running? Each shift runs 6 hours, features beloved segments, and might just have a few additional surprises or cross-overs.
