Bondi, predictably, has said she'll appeal. But this is still a win for the rule of law.

Gen Z Wants To Ditch Tinder. But Can They Find Love IRL? Young singles have dating app burnout, but still rely on them to meet lovers. What comes next for the iPad generation?

Before Thanksgiving comes for Blackout Wednesday, when singles mingle at their hometown bars. @cuteflesh.bsky.social's latest sex column for @rewirenewsgroup.com. includes describes life IRL as the "meaty fleshspace"& features some Carrie Bradshaw-esque anthropological dating observations. Enjoy!

It’s the small bathrooms with the inward-opening doors for me

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

A Kennedy (of the Schlossberg branch) writes about childbirth and dying while her cousins RFK Jr. assaults the health system she and so many millions of others rely on—and discredits the scientific research that is her only hope at survival

Christmas tree already?

Wired, Business Insider delete phony articles allegedly written by AI under alias ‘Margaux Blanchard’ At least six publications have uploaded articles by the alleged AI bot, allowing the alias Margaux Blanchard to use links to previous bylines to substantiate her career.

Actually, one last chapter in this rant. I bring you: the infamous byline of "Margaux Blanchard"

It's all so annoying that this is happening, as if media didn't have enough problems already.

End of rant! Now, enjoy this story about humans using AI to improve their lives. It's been fact-checked and thoughtfully edited. The author is a real person and a fantastic writer. It's a great read.

Our newsroom is rapidly developing systems to detect & prevent fake, AI-generated copy. Chatbots are not journalists no matter how pretty their prose! We want real news, written by real experts who've brought deep sourcing & human judgement to the task.

@rewirenewsgroup.com's rigorous fact-checking process has saved us from AI slop on two occasions now, as has @natasharoy.bsky.social 's spidey sense for these things. When she gets a wiggly feeling in her gut, she tells me, and into the AI detector that copy goes.

A big red flag is sources with no online presence; that is unusual in the digital era. But sometimes the AI invents interviews with real people. The only way to know whether the "author" actually interviewed them is to see a transcript and call them up.

I wrote about AI's incursion into news in today's Rewire Weekly newsletter. The fabricated pitch and chatbot-authored reportage turned out to be only the opening salvo of an ongoing battle against AI-generated content. We routinely find AI pitches now, and have identified more AI reporting.

We had just beaten back a scam attempting to pass off fake, AI-written story as a hard-hitting investigation when @hallielieberman.bsky.social pitched me this. I was pretty sour on AI at the time! Glad I set aside my annoyance to allow that AI might have a positive use: helping women escape abuse.

Artificial Intelligence Told These Women To Divorce Their Abusive Husbands Can we trust ChatGPT to help people experiencing domestic violence?

People use chatbots as their life coaches and boyfriends, so why not as marriage counselors, too? @hallielieberman.bsky.social reports on the rise of the AI-inspired divorce for @rewirenewsgroup.com

Cool cool cloudflare is down, and with it our website. Just what we all needed this morning

Oh who am I kidding the only thing an editor really wants is some nice, clean copy.

I wish I Jane Austen had written more books, is what I’m saying. May be time for some re-reads

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman in possession of good taste must be in want of a Jane Austen novel. Alas, there are far too few to go around.

Immigrant Women More Exposed to Breast Cancer Risks At Work Jobs disproportionately held by immigrant women came with significant exposures to cancer-linked chemicals, a new study finds.

This makes me mad on so many levels

I Got an IUD. Why Didn't Doctors Prepare Me for the Searing Pain? I learned that my experience is common. I also learned that anesthesia, or any prescribed pain management for IUD placement, is nearly nonexistent.

You're hardly alone. @rewirenewsgroup.com has covered this issue before, in 2021.

That sounds terrible!

We’re always looking for stellar writers over at Rewire. Let’s talk!

I Got Birth Control in Three Different Countries—Here’s How the U.S. Stacks Up Analysis: Intrauterine devices, or IUDs, are an increasingly popular, long-acting contraception. But pain management and cost inhibit many patients in the U.S. and abroad.

As someone who's lived abroad, I frequently compare the experience of getting health care in those places w/that of the US. So when @rewirenewsgroup.com was pitched a story contrasting the pain & cost of IUD insertion in 3 countries, I jumped to assign it. Wild guess: How do you think the US fares?

Boarding a flight that is scheduled to land just before midnight. Here’s to hoping it lands in the United States, ideally New York! ✈️

In addition to being a YesAllWomen moment, this makes me concerned about the attentiveness of her security detail

Virginia state seal, which shows an awkward white guy in purple armor and leather sandals lying on the ground, his crown cast aside (Tyranny), as a woman in a blue toga with one breast exposed, holding a spear in one hand and a parazonium in the other (Virtue) stomps on his chest. The text encircling them says VIRGINIA SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS

Sic Semper Tyrannis, y’all 🫡

Mamdani was born in Uganda and elected mayor of New York. I think you’re onto something here…I just don’t know quite what

Guys I’m posting from a taxi in bogota, that’s my excuse

Omg the typos! VA

This means an abortion ballot referendum to constitutionally enshrine repro rights will almost definitely be presented to voters next year, as @cameronoakes.bsky.social and o reported last month

This is a massive swing left for BA legislature. This previously longtime Republican body has been basically almost split even for about a decade, with a sometimes small D majority of a seat or two. +12 is radical departure
