NEW: Remember when John Oliver opened a church to expose how easy it was to get tax exemptions? This year, ProPublica reporters set out to establish private schools to test if, truly, anyone could open one. We founded two.

I know, you know I've said this before but today's headline in the Guardian 'live' section just (as always) makes me grind my teeth... housing price rises are not 'growth'... they are, let's be clear: ASSET PRICE INFLATION.... and as such *not* a good thing that needs to be maintained or worried about when it such inflation is 'weak'. Until we end this mind set we will be unlikely to solve our housing problems #housing #media #politics

"AI Bros Are Having a Meltdown Because the Associated Press Stylebook Clarifies That AIs Don’t Have Feelings" by @Futurism@flipboard.com - The @AssociatedPress@flipboard.com Stylebook was updated to prohibit anthropomorphizing #AI, referring to it like a thinking person. "Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics". AI #tech delivers on artificial, with appearance of intelligence as a goal. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-bros-meltdown-feelings #GenAI #AISlop #media

Van 119000 in 2024 naar 124000 in 2025! Als we het afzetten tegen de CBS leeftijdsopbouw cijfers zien we dat het stabiel is (of eigenlijk steeds BETER gaat..). 1-1-2024: 3.693.313 / 119000 is 1 op de 30 1-1-2025: 3.755.379 / 124000 is 1 op de 31 https://nos.nl/artikel/2632831-veel-ouderen-lopen-zwaar-letsel-op-door-val-actieweek-van-start #misinformatie #media #nos

From Gus Bova: Joe Rogan often speaks positively of James Talarico, and negatively of Ken Paxton. But his views on the midterm race, and how it might influence his listeners, are harder to discern. We analyzed 20 episodes where the candidates got mentioned. https://www.texasobserver.org/joe-rogan-james-talarico-ken-paxton/ #media #podcast #midterms #politics #Texas #news

Hear, hear! "Make the White House press corps nothing but women. Right now, Trump (like all chauvinists) sees every man in that gaggle as a potential ally–every time they don’t call out his behavior, it is tacit approval. (And, honestly, it sort of is.)" https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/two-ways-to-stop-trump-from-abusing-cnns-kaitlan-collins/ #USPol#media#Feminism
