Personally I think advertising ChatGPT to stressed college students is much worse than advertising cereals to children.

Sounds like it would pair well with Christine Wenc’s _Funny Because It’s True_ about The Onion.

I’m confused why they haven’t named any of these (barely functional) robots Rosie. I would like them to do it so they get sued for IP infringement.

What’s their end game? I know the nameless grunts have no idea why they do what they do, but someone needs real accountability. #SouthAsianHate

We literally fought a war to ensure that British people don't matter in our politics. The Times of London story about De Blasio and DeBlasio is evidence that that was a good thing.

Still won’t add group chat functionality but spent time on a slightly different app icon. @bsky.app still losing to X.

Why are you still using AI for your stories? Didn’t you learn your lesson with Marco Buscaglia? What is 2o24?

"Did BlueSky add group chat yet?" is my "Did the president call?"

Smacks of the β€œsegment producer’s cousin’s kid did this thing and now it’s an epidemic” that seemed to be CNN and local news’ standard way to fill the hole.

So how long until they tell Comcast and AT&T to turn off the internet?

I wonder when they’ll realize that β€œwe aren’t X” is not a long term strategy for them as either a product or a service if they don’t make a better app.

Penn State Plans to Shut Down WPSU After Trustees Reject Proposal to Transfer Ownership Updated 9 p.m. Sept. 11. A Penn State Board of Trustees committee on Thursday unanimously rejected a plan to transfer ownership of WPSU to a Philadelphia

Absolutely abhorrent for Penn State, a land-grant university, to abandon public media. I am ashamed.

WPSU is central PA's only NPR-member radio station and has been on the air for 73 years. It serves 13 counties.

This is a disservice to rural Pennsylvanians.

The first part of the interview couldn’t have been more apolitical β€œhow did he do it?” without mentioning what it was he motivated his audience to do. Schlapp, on his own, decided to blame The Media. It was poor sequencing on Martin’s part, but the end was inevitable regardless of the trajectory

The Free Press potentially being folded into CBS news is giving me memories of the 2006/2007 Blogosophere (never let the term die) where all major the independent voices sold out to Salon and Slate.

1. Angel Reese is 23.
2. Angel Reese is getting on-the-job media training.
3. Angel Reese is right.

Imagine being the president of the United States and casually and seriously threatening citizens of the United States on the weekend through pictures and jokes on social media. Petty and undignified embarrassment.
