Thanks to @ericzorn.bsky.social for his shout-out to the Sun-Times coverage of the death of Rev. Jesse Jackson. The paper certainly did shine. I was amazed how my obit meshed with Fran Spielman's piece on Jackson and Chicago mayors and Lee Bey's on pop culture.

The editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer / Cleveland.com has caused a stir with his columns extolling the use of AI in his newsrooms. I look at what he wrote and offer some thoughts about it ericzorn.substack.com/i/187899566/...

The purpose of the "alternative" Super Bowl halftime show is a celebration of racism. That's it. It's "revenge" for a Puerto Rican man being selected to perform.
Any excuse or fake explanation by any performer participating in it is utter bullshit.
