“What AI imperils is not human creativity itself but the ability to make a living from creative endeavor,” Caitlin Petre and @jticona.bsky.social write. “The AI industry claims that it wants to democratize creativity, but the real goal is dominance.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/o...

"No taxes on tips" was supposed to help low-wage workers, but because of the platforms used for tipping and Trump's steamrolling of data protections, it may instead have dire consequences for them. @hannahwohl.bsky.social, Lindsey Cameron, & I in Newsweek today. tinyurl.com/yc27dah7
