While digging around their website, I found their ethics policy—including a section on AI-generated content. I suspect that’s a part of what happened here. And I’m upset about that too! I did NOT speak to a journalist with the assumption that my interview would be funneled into producing AI slop.

As an update for anyone who isn’t digging through the comments: I found more articles by USA Today journalists I’ve never met. There are THREE that used quotes from my interview recording—including many quotes that were never publicly published anywhere else.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

This was the first thing I wrote after I left the Washington Post almost three years ago. What a wild ride (to hell) it has been. gillianbrockell.com/one-neat-tri...
So, here it is - with apologies to my former editor for getting this out way too late - one neat trick that proves the Civil War was not about states' rights:
If the Civil War had been about upholding states' rights, then slave states would have been fine with non-slave states passing laws protecting Black residents who had self-emancipated ("run away") from slave states. Slave states weren't fine with that.
They pushed a federal law - the Fugitive Slave Act - that superseded states' rights, forcing federal marshals to arrest and transport these people, regardless of the laws of the state they were in.
Bloop! That's it!
In the lead-up the Civil War, this was a common point made by antislavery activists
- a ubiquitous thing we have somehow forgotten, like sewing our own clothes or shape-note singing.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.
