More breaking news: Kentucky has passed 100 cases of measles just days after stating they were not concerned because they were below 100 cases of measles. Also, it would appear they added another county to the list.

You’d think that for some Republicans that would be crossing a line. But no. It shows how far the Republican Party has fallen.

Our local governments have started producing AI slop images and whole email newsletters, which means I will now have to start filing public records requests for LLM prompts. What a strange time to be a journalist.

“When I was in kindergarten in 1961, I survived a near-fatal case of measles… my clearest memory of that period is my father carrying me to our station wagon & rushing me to the hospital. I stayed for a month, part of it in a coma, my blood pressure dangerously unstable” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social
