Reminder: the Star Tribune is purging editors

Today’s layoffs hit the journalists who do the most and get the least credit. The editors, the copy desk, the page designers, the librarian and archivist, the news assistants. My editor led our immigration coverage during Operation Metro Surge and they just…let her go.

retiring journalists when u ask about their favorite story

If any editors are looking for journalists to cover the end of the SAVE plan amid an affordability crisis, and how that's going to impact people economically, I have a pitch ready to go that I'd love to send! [email protected]

Editors, fact-checkers, designers and news assistants at the Minnesota Star Tribune are losing their jobs today. Anything you can donate to help our laid-off journalists is greatly appreciated. Can’t donate? Share this post to boost our efforts.

A KPMG report on how AI is being used by businesses around the world exaggerated adoption of the technology with bogus case studies hallucinated by AI:

Can an article be joyless AND vain AND way, way too long AND just really poorly written? Reader, yes. Can we let people simply have their goddamn fun? Not if this young scold has anything to say about it.
