You know that AI search result about recent news? Well AI only knows the answer because a human reporter did the work and wrote the story. So support local news and read the actual article instead of the robot summary. You’ll learn a lot more and support the work of human beings.

The Toledo Blade’s shocking, inevitable news.
When I joined as a political writer, Toledo’s famed daily was known for its ambitious local newsroom. Now it’s preparing to publish its final issue.

No pharmaceutical company will spend the billions required to appease this President’s incoherent call to split the MMR vaccine into three on a whim. In 2 years, the EO expires. And it has no teeth. This is theater at a time when people need real substantive leadership.

Here in Chicago, where we unfortunately know Rahm Emanuel well, we marvel at how he gets the national press to help him manufacture the myth that he's some sort of visionary. No one here forgets that his administration covered up a police murder.

I have also wondered what I would do with 30 seconds of magical inter-species communication, except I have thought I would like to tell our three black cats that humans can't see in the dark the way they can see in the dark and they need to stay out from under my feet at night.

Ok, so ethics aside, the "correct" way to use AI here, according to NYT guidelines, is to use the AI, then go look up the thing you asked AI about. Kind of amazing when the actual journalistically correct thing to do would be to just look it up. So, what is the use case for AI in the first place?

This story -- aside from not mentioning the new owners signaled they want to cut staff and the Guild in Pittsburgh, which is badass, warned them "not so fast" -- also adds offhandedly near the end that the Blocks also own "a newspaper in Toledo." Ouch. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/b...

It's perfectly safe to go out there and call Trump all the horrible names you want to call him, because he is not, in fact, a dictator."
