inspired by a post I saw on here and have since lost, I've started reading "AI companies" as "cigarette manufacturers," so something like this becomes "maker of Newports backs bill to fund smoking literacy in schools"

You too can drop out of community college, be gifted your dad’s company, abuse your dysfunctional brother and ride his popularity to squeak in to become premier of Ontario and then get an honorary doctorate from a third rate US university!

As a professor of it, I once had to describe — in a single sentence — where authority originates in journalism. Goes like this: "I'm there, you're not, let me tell you about it." In times of war it applies most www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7e3... I elaborated here: pressthink.org/2012/03/im-t... 1/2

Here's an example of a Toronto startup @thelocal.to doing wonderful work visually even as news photos are long gone in mainstream journalism. Note that none of the photos are strictly posed. They offer artistry, a personal view. The political candidate standing in the dirty snowbank is a classic.

Journalists aren't required to regurgitate whatever a spokesperson tells them. Edit it down to what's germane. Don't repeat insults or lies – unless you blow up the lies. It's your news space – don't surrender it to spokespeople. That doesn't make you look "fair" – it makes you look like a tool.

Why Wasaga Beach needs to be open to all
Wasaga Beach is a treasure of provincial significance. It deserves to remain owned by the public and fully open to all, with better access to those who can’t or don’t want to drive.

Hey Toronto & GTA, stay safe out there. A bike ride 2 years ago in heat like today caught me off guard with heat exhaustion hard and fast. Felt dizzy, nauseous, clammy, but luckily my friend recognized it and got me to shade to lie down for an hour, drink water. Recognize & know what to do👇 #BikeTO
Infographic about Heat Exhaustion vs Heat Stroke

Heat Exhaustion : orange background

Excessive sweating
Cool, pale, clammy palms
Nausea or vomiting
