#GVSpotlight did not begin as a fixed format. It began as a question: How can we slow down in a media environment that constantly demands speed?

Just finished Nicholas Enrich's new book, "Into the Wood Chipper," about Doge's destruction of USAID. It's a window into an asylum in which clueless zealots around Elon Musk were killing aid recipients worldwide without having a clue what they were even doing.

The Ethiopian community’s growth in the Twin Cities is visible here: years of faith, labor, community-building, and investment in America, while preserving deep Orthodox Christian and Ethiopian roots.

This is Minneapolis, Minnesota not Africa.
Ethiopian Orthodox Christians just opened their new church building after years of hard work. They’re praising God , keeping the roots of their religion tradition , and investing in America.

Two things can be true: It is entirely acceptable to say Candace Owens is a horrible person, an antisemite and part of the always-grifting right.

It is also acceptable to recognize that this mockup is a, yes, vile depiction of Owens — trafficking in classic racist and misogynistic tropes of black women (“USES RICH WHITE MEN!” Nice touch there). I’d say it is below the president of the United States, but that train left the station a long time ago.

Minneapolis immigrants are still paying the cost of Operation Metro Surge, housing advocate AsaleSol Young writes. An extension of the pre-eviction filing period pushes the burden onto families, mutual aid networks and small landlords.

The data-labelling industry relies heavily on workers in Kenya and Nigeria to annotate what AI systems learn. Those same workers rarely see their languages reflected in the systems they help train.

Believe it or not -- I sense we are going to look back at this time as the "good old days" of LLMs (before they became either impossibly expensive, driven by advertising interests or other enshitiffication)
