Marie Claire actually left a prompt from an AI in one of their recent articles.
While there’s still some great journalists and publications left, this is utterly shocking. No wonder I’m trying to pivot.

This displays the stark arrogance of legacy media types. "I went to the right school and come from the right family, so my opinions MUST matter."
That attitude is how you turn the most infamous newspaper in political journalism into a billionaire's vanity blog, and yourself into his PR agent.

There still is absolutely no plan for how to finance & operate our universities without foreign students or restored federal funding, & the public still has zero awareness of the magnitude of this existential crisis, because our leaders have been totally absent from the public stage.

It is fine for the parties themselves to choose their candidates and even if primary elections weren’t perversions of democracy in several ways (which they are) they’d be a piss poor way of choosing candidates, and they separate parties from accountability.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

oh, *that's* why this is going around again today
Every new right-wing publication is named The Daily Constitution and pays a dozen writers mid-six-figure salaries thanks to backing by the CEO of fascism.
Every new left-wing publication is named Lazer Sword & pays fifty contributors $300 a month, funded by laid-off journalists donated buyout pay.

There's a good reason people in positions like this need to choose their words carefully. He's using "no quarter" because he thinks it means "we're being tough," but it's a real term and opponents will take a different meaning
This pushes opponents to declare no quarter because we did it first

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.
We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
