On July 8th, we published a piece on AI in Heated Rivalry fic fandom. On July 30th, the New York Times ran a piece on the same subject. We weren't surprised—because we knew a Times reporter had read our coverage.
A tale of two fandom articles, part of a longstanding dynamic in the media industry:

Excuse me? Washington *D.C.*? The city that is one open-air mildewed locker room built inside a sweat sock for two months of the year? That Washington?

LMAO -- Fox News is again broadcasting from Trump's state fair and again there is *nobody* there. I've seen fairs in rural parking lots with more attendees than this.

There is a viral Instagram post claiming the Knicks have turned down the invitation to visit the White House, sourced to nothing, apparently just a photo with some text written on it. It’s been reposted 10,000 times. Can’t find any indication it’s true.

sorry i know its fun to be conspiratorial about everything but let me tell you from decades of experience in labour, it's totally normal to put up a tarp for this kind of thing. Not everything has to be some grand, shady mystery.
HERE'S YOUR PHOTO!
How fitting that this ended with yet another shameful cover-up, though.
Perfectly, perfectly Trumpian.
