       At this point, I recommend we all check our garages, attics, closets, and basements to see if any of us have top secret or classified files lying about. Nice to know our nation's most sensitive secrets and security documents can be checked out like a damn middle school library book-on-tape! Good Lord! #NationalArchives #GetYourShitTogether

       @atomicpoet @fediversenews "196 Mastodon instances have put digital barricades in place that makes it impossible for journalists on journa.host to see, interact with or follow users in their communities."An overwhelming number of journalists I follow here have absolutely no desire to interact or follow users anyway.  Most of them refuse to leave the other site and are now PAYING a sociopath money to be there. They're only here to build their brand, not actually contribute to the platform.

       @stationkeeper Yep.  I keep trying to explain to the "freaker-outers" that the term, artificial intelligence" is a misnomer at best, pure marketing horseshit at worst.There IS NO SUCH THING as "artificial intelligence", and it is unlikely to be a thing for several decades--if ever.  Machines don't think or reason; they calculate algorithms based on data provided by people.

       @grammargirl So, by utilizing Descript, would you say it's all uphill from here? 🙃 Great epi yesterday! Liked that the kid got to record his question to be answered. Nice touch.

       @grammargirl Every SEO plugin I use in my work will literally highlight multisyllabic words it deems "too hard for readers to understand" and states it may affect my SEO scores.I die a little inside each time. And don't get me started on all the Medium articles I read where nearly every paragraph is a single sentence long.Algorithms are LITERALLY making people more stupid in return for Internet likes.
