I know several people who have covered right-wing folks and white nationalists for years. I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous and hard the work is, how much of a toll it can take on their mental health, and how newsrooms undervalue it even when that expertise is clearly relevant and needed.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History
Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

Some of y’all noticed I’ve been uncharacteristically offline. This is why, and I remain on leave for a few weeks to handle a PTSD relapse. CJR was dogged in its pursuit of my story. Because of what I do and who I am, I felt that I had to answer their questions honestly.

Something not noted in the CJR piece is that Olivia often reported on the very worst cases of sexual assault for **several years** at the Daily Beast, including brutal details of mass rapes, cases inside schools and prisons, as well as many lawsuits. I am beyond furious.

Don't mess with librarians.

Today, at Law Dork.

And, if you're at the Library of Congress — including the Office of Copyright, Copyright Royalty Board, CRS, Law Library, or elsewhere — and get notice of changes or see something weird happening, reach out via Signal (crg.32) from a non-work phone.
Monday's lesson: Don't mess with librarians.
Ultimately, though, the question with Trump's effort to take over the Library of Congress could come down to whether Congress says, "Don't mess with Congress."
