Wow. A youtuber exposed fraud the mainstream media ignored? Actually, no. @nytimes.com @startribune.com have been reporting on it for years. But they focused on fraud, not race or nationality. This piece from 2022 www.nytimes.com/2022/03/08/u...

The oil business is hurting but still in love with Trump Industry leaders are enjoying the president's push to cut regulations even as they wish for higher prices.

$3 gasoline and <$60 oil means tough choices in the oil business. But for plenty of people who make their living in oil and gas, one choice is still easy. They're with #Trump. www.eenews.net/articles/the...

PEN Guild wins landmark arbitration on AI protections - Washington-Baltimore News Guild This marks one of the first major labor-arbitration rulings on the impact of AI on journalism, setting an important precedent for the U.S. news industry.

Exciting news: my union @pen-guild.bsky.social won our fight to hold management accountable for rolling out AI tools with no notice & for failing to hold the bots to the same standards all of us humans must follow โ€” in violation of the contract they agreed to. A neutral arbiter said we were right!
