Very normal conception of journalism from a person who has never been a reporter but now is in charge of one of the largest media outlets in the most powerful country on the planet.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

The relentless @djbyrnes1.bsky.social has spent day after day in court this week tracking what's happening with suits against DHS filed (disclaimer: we're plaintiffs in one of them), as well as protesters facing charges.

Get up to speed now:

Trump’s ‘Midway Blitz’ hits the courts in Chicago • The TRiiBE

No matter what's happening in the world, what fires we're putting out, how much it matters if we lose, we'll always have to deal with this during lunchbreak.

“Peace in Solitude”

Digital illustration of a black woman wearing a long turquoise dress, with braids swaying down her back, standing in a window looking out into brownish, red autumn trees. She is holding a glass of red wine in her hand with a half empty bottle on the window sill to her left. There are 2 black cats near her: one on a stool to her left and one walking towards her to the right. To the far right two large plants in purple and pink flower pots frame the image. To the left of them you can see a shelf with wine bottles and glasses on it. Light shines through the window with blue beaded curtains blowing in the wind.

I do this too, every time I run a Google search.

On rare occasion, if my query is complicated, Google pretends not to understand the "-ai" part. But it usually works.
