Thanks to #AI like #ChatGPT, welcome to “zombie #newspapers”:“Minneapolis neighborhood newspaper the Southwest Journal shuttered at the end of 2020, but its web domain continues to post fresh content under the auspices of a Delaware ‘SEO company’ whose leader lives in Serbia.”A few legacy articles under fictitious bylines still appear but recent posts are “junk content…to manipulate search engines.”The new owner has “no interest in the #news business.”#Journalismhttps://www.minnpost.com/twin-cities-business/2023/02/zombie-newspaper-sites-including-minneapolis-southwest-journal-rise-from-grave/

@davetroy Dr. Peter Beter seems to have made a splash in #RightWing #conspiracy circles with the cassette tapes he distributed during the 1970s-80s.Alleging David Rockefeller made off with the #gold at Fort Knox (prompting actual discussions in the U.S. House), that the Soviets had submerged #nuclear bombs at numerous locations around the U.S., that America would be disarmed and merged with the Soviet Union... and even vote machine rigging, and something called "The Gathering Storm."#QAnon

@davetroy A few more clippings re. Dr. Peter Beter. All of the clippings in these two posts are from 1974-1977, save the one headed "Open Forum," which is kind of an obit for Beter that was published in 1987.

Robert Reich: "The Fed has raised borrowing costs at 10 consecutive meetings, increasing its benchmark rate to over 5 percent. Yet #inflation has barely slowed. Why? Because the Fed’s rate hikes barely affect big #corporations that continue to raise prices to fatten their #profits...Corporations aren’t raising prices to cover increased costs. The Producer Price Index dropped 2.3 percent for the 12 months through April...(and) wage gains still lag behind price increases."https://robertreich.substack.com/p/its-greedflation-stupid

@TucsonSentinel @TexasObserver “86% of #transgender and #nonbinary youth said anti-trans bills negatively impacted their mental health...‘It’s a constant debate on my existence and it just makes me exhausted and frustrated that I have to legitimately just live,’ one #trans individual responded…Others said they feared for their life, safety and future…‘#LGBTQ young people are watching, and internalizing the anti-LGBTQ messages they see in the media and from their elected officials’…”

Different manifestations of the same issue, from the Colorado River to rural Nepal."Climate change and nature losses are fueling harsher and more frequent droughts and shifts in #rainfall patterns, with ever-scarcer #water expected to become an increasingly major driver of #migration."In Nepal, "increasingly extreme weather fueled by #ClimateChange is bringing worsening water extremes, from #droughts to #floods that wash away homes and even entire villages." #climatehttps://www.context.news/climate-risks/migrate-to-survive-water-woes-clear-out-villages-in-hilly-nepal

Apropos of nothing, since Pat Robertson was such a loathsome human.His obits mention a contrite apology for having called for the #assassination of #Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. #Robertson said, "Is it right to call for assassination? No, and I apologize for that statement."But most profiles omit his immediate, laughably transparent equivocation on-air: "I didn't say assassination. I said our special forces should 'take him out.' 'Take him out' could be a number of things, including kidnapping."

@clive "In the US, minimum width standards of parking spaces usually range from 8.5 to 9.0 feet... (and due to larger US vehicle sizes) most #parking spaces will be within 16 to 20 feet (4.9–6.1 m), with 19 feet (5.8 m) feet deep being the standard DOT recommended depth for standard perpendicular parking."The #Ford F150 is 19.3 feet long and 8 feet wide. It's been the best-selling US vehicle for for decades, only recently eclipsed in this country by the #Toyota RAV4.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_space#Marks_and_space_size

“Half of Mexico’s Congress is #female. The cabinet is #gender-balanced. And now, #women have won the primaries of the two leading political blocs—making it likely that this traditionally macho nation will elect its first female president, ahead of the United States…#Mexico ranks fourth in the world in female participation in national legislatures, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union. The US ranks 71st—just below Iraq.”#equality #WomensRights #voting #feminismhttps://wapo.st/3LetHuR

"In the 1920s, after discovery of the massive #oil field on the #Osage Reservation, the US government took away the Osage’s right to their wealth...Sixty, and likely many more, Osage were assassinated... their 'guardians,' their murderers–inherited their oil rights."The story unfolds in a new film, Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.And where that film ends, @GregPalast's new documentary, Long Knife, begins. And the trail leads to Charles #Koch.https://www.gregpalast.com/until-they-killed-them100-crucial-seconds-of-a-story-buried/

@clive A sentence that could be parsed in two ways: when disguised as Clark Kent, newspaper reporter, he tracks down rackets and injustice... or, #Superman, who incidentally disguises himself as newspaper reporter Clark Kent, tracks down rackets and injustice!"Disguised as CLARK KENT, newspaper reporter, SUPERMAN tracks down rackets and injustice!"

"The Israel-Gaza conflict has taken a severe toll on journalists since #Hamas launched its unprecedented attack against Israel on October 7 and #Israel declared war on the militant #Palestinian group, later launching ground raids into the blockaded #Gaza Strip... In the first eight days of fighting, at least 12 #journalists were killed, two were missing, and eight injured."#journalism #pressfreedom https://cpj.org/2023/10/journalist-casualties-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict/
