It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.

The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

Thank you for the nice story @kaylacobb.bsky.social, and long live doing creative work on hard mode.

“We are also doing it on hard mode. If you use AI, you’re not working with us. It’s just not happening. If you have at one point worked with f–king Palantir, you’re not working with us,” Collins said. “But I think it also hopefully gets us some credibility with creators that we are doing what’s best for them and not necessarily just to make as much money as possible.”
Part of that approach is so that Collins and his team can sleep at night. But jokes aside, whether the new InfoWars becomes a decades-long household name or if it’s a blip that will be forgotten by next year, Collins is focused on the broader ramifications of what they’re doing.
“Your children and your grandchildren and the people you’re not related to will judge you based on your character at this point, so that’s what we’re doing,” Collins said. “We are playing the long game over here at The Onion, as we’ve always done.”

Yikes. Women accounted for all of the job losses and all of the labor force decline in July, according to @nwlc.org

WASHINGTON — Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center jobs analysis of monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That brings the total net number of women who have left the labor force since January this year to 845,000. In comparison, there are 406,000 fewer men in the labor force now than in January.

A total of 165,000 women, aged 20 and over, left the labor force last month — meaning they are neither working nor looking for work — while men's labor force participation was unchanged. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. Women accounted for all of these losses, losing 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000 jobs. Women make up 50.1% of the workforce.
