Thank goodness for both Lisa Rubin & @mollyjongfast bringing feminist perspective to the testimony of Stormy Daniels and how she was treated on the stand (and in news media).

Rather than all these early-birds-get-the-worm deals with AI companies, the news industry -- and the culture -- would be better off creating a collective API for news to license to AI companies. But news companies never collaborate, especially not with each other.

Meredith Clark in the Hulu Black Twitter doc: "Sure it was created by someone else. It is embedded with the values of that creator. But because my mind is expansive I am going to disrupt and remix and cut this up and deliver it in the way I want it to go. So in the same way that we took scraps and leftovers and made soul food and in the same way that we took our lamentations and made gospel music, we took a site like Twitter and we made it a storytelling forum."

Ron Charles begins, as he should, with Old Yeller. "The description of Cricket’s Last Stand is the one time in this howlingly dull book that Noem demonstrates any sense of setting, character, plot and emotional honesty."
