Grieving the loss of Ryan Stollar—a kind, brave & deeply intelligent advocate for the overlooked children of fundamentalism, who I met reporting on the movement he helped begin. As the right re-embraces the harmful ideologies Ryan did so much to deconstruct, I'll miss his clear moral voice.

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
