A year or two ago, Gannett was advertising heavily on LinkedIn for AI reporter roles, described as a reporter that would use AI to assemble large numbers of stories with fast turnover. I didn’t apply. Worth reading the whole thread here.

Danny Trejo, Harvey Keitel and Henry Thomas to star in Daily Wire‘s new pro-ICE movie

What happened?  

I thought that Harvey Keitel starred in too few films in recent years... and now this?

"A call sheet seen by Deadline lists Danny Trejo, Harvey Keitel and Henry Thomas among the cast."

I have been seeing braindead takes like "antisemitism isn't systemic" but the way that the Trump admin is bestowing and revoking conditional whiteness onto Jews suggests that antisemitism is very much systemic, and closely connected to other forms of systemic oppression, especially islamophobia.

A lot of people in the comments are mentioning that USA Today is owned by Gannett. One of my big concerns is that *every* Gannett-owned newsroom might have access to my interview now. I will never interview with any of them again.

I’ll also add that most of the heat should be directed at USA Today, but the journalists who participated in this breach of ethics also made a choice. Organizations are made up of people. We can’t absolve the people who do harm on the behalf of an organization.

When mask bans were first being enacted, disabled people warned they marked a return to Ugly Laws. They were a crucial step towards eliminating us from public life. They were designed to make us hide away, unable to safely exist in public. Disabled people are the canaries in the coal mine.

Rod Serling was a king. WWII paratrooper in “The Death Squad,” TV pioneer, LOUD critic of McCarthyism who knew his status as a war hero put him in a privileged position to call shit out. Wrote critiques of racism into his scripts, created The Twilight Zone to escape the censorship that brought on.

The issue with "monsters are marginalized people in fantasy clothes" is that it ends up with things like people making orcs more explicitly like people from IRL sub-Saharan Africa. "There's kind of a racist subtext with orcs, so we've fixed it by making them H. Rider Haggard Zulus." Which, um.

A cat approaches her.
The cat leaps up toward the scribble (her dark thoughts).

For the record, you are a rape apologist if you argue: "But we don't KNOOOOOOW his victim wants you to take away his platform! You shouldn't do that unless she says to do it! 🥺👉👈" There are ZERO fucking victims who want their rapist to keep power, fans, and a platform. Sew your damned mouth shut.
