the funniest thing that ever happened to me on Threads was the singer on a drug commercial tried to bully me when I complained that the jingle was annoying…

motion to continue to call him "Sid the Kid" even after he 100 years old and retired (probably) "Sid the Kid’s Penguins have also won three of the previous four playoff series he’s been a part of vs. Philly and have hoisted three Stanley Cups since 2009." share.inquirer.com/YAIPLD

my dog does not like closed doors; she wants to hang out wherever there is an available human and assumes she is missing out on treats or something if the door is shut. Dog FOMO I guess?

just wondering why the PG still has a paywall up and is accepting new subscribers, and a banner ad for "top Pittsburgh workplaces" links to a page that references a September event. No mention on the "about us" page that they're pulling the plug in May. www.post-gazette.com/about

In the media industry, though, it’s not going to be that simple. First, we should be busting our asses right now to lay down this principle of journalism ethics: Thou shalt not publish any AI-written journalism. Ever! AI, no matter how well trained, no matter how much it can simulate the tone of a newspaper, and no matter how many editors you have look over what it spits out, lacks one vital thing that must be present in any ethical journalism: Accountability. It cannot tell you how it made the decisions to write what it wrote, and the editor checking its work can’t tell you either. Therefore AI must be limited to being a tool for journalists to use, rather than a technology that replaces journalists. I assure you that that is not a limit that the executives of media companies imagine exists. But if they don’t respect it, they are selling out their own future by auctioning off the credibility that is their real product.

lol can always count on a little low-key snark in NYT stories about the WaPo and its subscriber numbers www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/b...

A screen capture of text from a New York Times article that reads:
The slide deck compares the 200 million target with efforts to land a man on the moon — and it is an ambitious goal: The Post currently has fewer than three million digital subscribers; The Times, an industry leader, has roughly 11 million.
