From the article: "AI can also offer journalism a rare chance to break that cycle and build something better." Yeah, I don't buy it. AI is a feature of the utterly divided society in which the wealthy 1% own almost everything--including #AI programs and development.
Nieman Lab@niemanlab.org · 3d ago"The future, in our view, likely lies neither in pure human ideation nor in fully automated story generation, but in a hybrid approach where human intuition works alongside both visible and invisible digital assistants to collectively decide what stories need telling and how to best tell them."

I’ve noticed multiple media sources are using the phrase “AI Slop” to refer to posts by Trump late at night. Not garbage, not nonsense, just slop. Like ‘pig slop.’

So #Iran conducted cyberattacks on water plants in several states with an emphasis on small Minnesota towns, and Trump's response is to blame our governor. But Trump has previously killed off federal #cybersecurity staffing, so ... small towns are on their own. Make this make sense.
The reference is a little obscure at first, but I love it.

This thread - documenting the rapid growth of a new fire into Spokane, WA today - is terrifying. We’re used to wildfires in the Northwest but what’s happening right now in eastern Washington is not normal.
Spokane Rising@spokanerising.com · last wk.Holy crap. Level 3 (GO NOW!) zone now includes urban Spokane, south of Francis to Wellesley. Level 2 (GET SET!) zone now extends east of Division. Not to be alarmist, but at this rate, it’s not inconceivable that the Old Trails Fire merges with the Fairview Fire.
The writer points out that many Senators have been absent for extended illnesses, and that McConnell has always been a private person. The writer blames social media. Meh, I blame anger towards the guy for holding up that Supreme Court nomination. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

I dreamed I drove 350 miles for a job interview. They needed a bilingual purchasing agent, except they didn’t. They wanted a secretary who could talk to the food service staff. It was a 350-mile drive to the ‘70s.
