I gave myself a goal of 10,000 personal and 10,000 work-related words for #writingmonth. My personal goal is far from any real goalpost, but I've knocked out 3,000 words towards work due to a talk I gave last week! Love tracking this through writingmonth.org 😄
Huh. Everyone keeps saying that the next generation that comes after GenZ would be called Gen Alpha or Gen A or something. I think they'll just be called... GenAI.
I'm reading a rather timely book right now called Manufacturing Consent by Herman and Chomsky. They propose a "Propaganda Model" to explain why news media toes the govt line often.
The very first pillar of that model is "Ownership". As in, news media is expensive to run, so owned by exceedingly rich people, whose priorities and concerns run diametrically opposite those of working folks.
This is literally playing out today with the LATimes and WaPo.
