claim that people don’t “wish” to do $120,000 / year jobs as automechanics seems detached from reality. www.bls.gov/ooh/installa... “median annual wage for automotive service technicians & mechanics was $49,670 in May 2024…lowest 10% earned less than $33,660, & highest 10% earned more than $80,850.”

How people really use ChatGPT, according to 47,000 conversations shared online What do people ask the popular chatbot? We analyzed thousands of chats to identify common topics discussed by users and patterns in ChatGPT’s responses.

"Emotional conversations were also common in the conversations analyzed by The Post... In some chats, the AI tool could be seen adapting to match a user’s viewpoint, creating a kind of personalized echo chamber in which ChatGPT endorsed falsehoods and conspiracy theories."

Far-right provocateur Nick Fuentes is triggering a MAGA civil war Once barred from nearly every social media platform, Fuentes’s resurgence has driven a wedge through the conservative movement.

Four years ago, far-right white male supremacist Nick Fuentes was deplatformed pretty much everywhere.

Now he's back with a vengeance—and the online right can't stop fighting over whether to condemn him or welcome him. My story: wapo.st/4nJbt4M

I think we continue to underestimate the net negative effect of twitter as a form of mediated propaganda environment, esp for in-group dynamics within media, industry, and the beltway. What made twitter good is now what makes it a cesspool for fascism, brain dead punditry, and woohoo economic policy

Once again, the "excesses" experienced were largely hallucinated through social media. People in positions of power, addicted to Twitter, scrolling through stories and opinions that they found confrontational--or reading conspiracies and horror stories from their fellow travellers.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Beans and rice, foods that won’t go bad: Creators give advice on staying fed if SNAP benefits stop With a possible pause in SNAP benefits this weekend, content creators are giving advice on how to keep from going hungry by using pantry staples.

“I think a lot of people mentally shift into maybe I’m a discard of society, maybe I haven’t worked hard enough for this,” she said. “You deserve to be fed.”

Friends choose your so-called "critics" carefully.

Its not a binary.

If people do circular citations and happen to never cite the women who laid the groundwork for decades and pay the price, there's a problem.

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

"D’Angelo also chafed at the description of his music as simply neo-soul. “I never claimed I do neo-soul,” he said in a Red Bull Music Academy interview in 2014. “When I first came out, I used to always say: ‘I do Black music. I make Black music.’”
