I think satire is dying on social media. You can joke about a totally impossible to do thing and you get punished by the platform for trying to...encourage people to do it? All to avoid the platform maybe getting sued if someone takes it totally out of context and does something insane. Ugh.

@usatoday.com has greatly disappointed me. I'm not surprised by @theatlantic.com or @nytimes.com blocking @archive.org because it enables people to call them out easily. But you guys? LLMs can scrape your content directly. Why not sue the companies that do bad things instead of punishing all of us?

A major US newspaper publisher is rolling out an Al-generated content farm that will use the bylines of real reporters without their consent.
But McClatchy executives initially indicated they'd like more control over how they label reporters' work.
Kathy Vetter, McClatchy's chief of staff for local news, said during the March 17 meeting that the company's general policy was that reporters who cannot revoke the use of their bylines must keep them attached to CSA-produced stories. For those who can revoke their byline, she said, McClatchy will still use their work anyway.
"We have every right to use their work," she said, according to multiple sources familiar with the meeting. "It belongs to us, and if an editor wants to go ... in there and repurpose a reporter's content, they can put their name on it."
"If they don't have the ability in their contract to remove their byline, we're going to use their name," Vetter added in response to a question. "Now, I'm not asking

Something I think about is how common it is for inexperienced people to think they can do complex jobs they're not qualified for and then very qualified people are always like I don't know what I'm doing how did I ever get this job I need to work harder.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Realistically acknowledging events & reactions that are out of our control & placing proportional blame where it belongs is not a "victim mentality." Actual accountability is as much about letting go of what isn't our fault as it is taking responsibly for our role.

“Functional medicine” was invented in the 1990s by Jeffrey Bland to sell dietary supplements and shot to fame by its poster boy, Mark Hyman. It is a marketing term designed to confuse patients, promote pseudoscience, and sow distrust in mainstream medicine. It is a scam.
