The billionaire media is laying off great tech journalists in crazy quantities this year - replacing them with AI and sycophants. This would be a great time to throw some dollars, euros, pounds, or dollarydoos to @flipboard.com/@404media, @ProPublica or another independent outlet.

@propublicaguild is very close to going on strike because @ProPublica won't agree to worker demands regarding AI.
It's a serious bummer.

On the plus side, I just heard of @propublicaguild in this post and am thrilled to see there's such a well organized union at @ProPublica. That makes me feel better, not worse, about my subscription. :)

I've noticed that seems to be the tenure.
I hope you will keep reading PP, though.
