The combination of having a stupid and destructive idea and the unearned confidence to boast and preen about it is not new, but in the RFK Jr. era, these guys have all gotten so LOUD. In any case, this editor belongs nowhere near journalism, and for "ingest" alone, he should be invited to retire.

“We plan to hire an AI rewrite specialist to ingest the reporting by Hannah and others and use AI to convert it into stories.” The editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer said it will use AI to ‘write’ its articles. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/10...
The answer is a rewrite experiment, backed by AI. We plan to hire an AI rewrite specialist to ingest the reporting by Hannah and others and use AI to convert it into stories. The role will require an evolving expertise in prompt writing for an AI chatbot, to get the quality stories you might want to read. This is not a one-and-done kind of thing. We envision the rewrite specialist tweaking the stories a good bit with additional prompts for refinements. I see this as a writing role.

This is straight-up Nazi rhetoric from Musk, and the only tiny thing I can do is address myself to those of you who are still on X. No more excuses about how you need "reach" or how good the conversation is there or the importance of debate. You will not regret walking away, and it's time.

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism. There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision. Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.
Musk advocates white monoculturalism

I like watching them both now that they are solidly in their "Ask your doctor if ___ is right for you" years. The fifties are when male movie actors either decide to get more interesting or they panic and try to stay young. I think they are in general going in the right direction.

I'm watching The Rip. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are approximately the ages William Holden and Art Carney were when they made The Towering Inferno and Harry and Tonto.
William Holden in The Towering Inferno, looking old AF.
Art Carney in Harry and Tonto, looking like the father of old AF.

It was so whiplashy! An hour of "Anyone can fall in love" followed by an hour of "Come spend time with us and let us demonstrate to you how stupid you are for wanting what you think you want."

NYCers: If you've never had occasion to be at the NYC Marriage Bureau when a bunch of couples are marrying, I recommend it with all my heart. It is one of the most joyous things imaginable and an instant reminder that the city is both unbelievably diverse and bursting with hope and optimism.

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.    Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.     Watch the full video at Youtube.com/nycmayorsoffice

But yeah, those who were hired by Trump appointees for mid-level positions at, for instance, HHS, Justice, and Interior are going to have to be looked at very closely in terms of both qualifications and ideological tilt. If they were hired as loyalists (or loyalists of loyalists), well, that's life.

No, "restaffed from the ground up" does not mean "Fire park rangers." But when the fed govt is run by a party opposed to a huge number of its functions, whole structures start to erode or disintegrate. Entire internal divisions have been gutted & will require restaffing. Thus, "from the ground up."

I mean, to offer just one example, the Department of Education is being overseen by people who are ideologically committed to its future nonexistence. So fixing it is going to be much more of an effort than just putting people back at those empty desks and saying "As you were."
