I reviewed babygirl which will be remembered for

Remember in October when @NYMag published its annual Power Issue with members of the “media elite?" Well, @NYMagUnion thought you might want to hear from media workers themselves.
Presenting the 2024 Power Issue! We gathered 57 of the most powerful people in media for a tour through the state of journalism, assembled from dozens of hours of extremely candid conversations.
Read the new issue now: trib.al/DzUrUu1

This week, @NYMag published a very good feature story on low-grade AI-created content taking over the Internet and making it worse. It’s about what happens when human-made content gets replaced by AI slop:

Unfortunately there is not yet a robot who can sit on 57 couches.
so why won't @nymag include layoff protections in our @NYMagUnion contract? #writersnotrobots

Not interested in reading or supporting publications that use AI. Surely many others feel the same. #WritersNotRobots
The @NYMagUnion has been asking for basic job protections around the use of AI. For the last 6 months, our employers at @NYMag and @VoxMedia have refused. Help us remind management that it’s our *human* staff that makes New York the award-winning magazine that it is — not robots.

What truly matters in Luca Guadagnino’s sexed-up tennis thriller is not the love triangle at its center but all the details that surround it. @webschwartz on "Challengers."

how real is THE GILDED AGE? just ask dr. @webschwartz, who took a break from watching it (braindeadedly) to ask some historians about it (smartly) vulture.com/article/the-gild…
