CBS News veteran Jan Crawford apologized Sunday for a social media post about a political town hall that clearly violated the standards of any legacy newsroom....but the imbroglio comes as CBS News has embraced more opinion and commentary... variety.com/2026/tv/news/cbs…

To reflect “changing consumer attitudes” and adopt a more “mature look” in the wake of the September 11 attacks, toy store franchise Toys R Us radically changes the design of its mascot, Geoffrey the Giraffe. Pictured are Geoffrey’s old and new looks:
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Toys R Us redesigned Geoffrey the Giraffe to a realistic version in 2001 as part of a pre-planned rebranding tied to store redesigns and its Times Square flagship, not due to September 11 attacks or changing attitudes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_… toymania.com/news/messages/… adweek.com/brand-marketin… advertisingweek360.com/design-evoluti…

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

My thoughts on the @mcclatchy massacre: The hedge fund that owns McClatchy newspapers has forfeited the right to use the McClatchy name. Details here: jimboren.substack.com/p/the-…
McClatchy layoffs just gutted newsrooms from Miami to Sacramento: - Nearly 1/3 of Miami Herald's staff gone - 1/3 of unionized workers cut at papers in Idaho, Washington - Many of those axed at Charlotte Observer were honored with awards last night status.news/p/mcclatchy-layo…

I was perfectly happy with Ask Jeeves.
Replying to @hilbertspaess
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.
