Had a great conversation about pink-slime journalism (fake-local news) with @jflannys and Domenic Camia on their podcast Laid Off and Looking: https://t.co/hegtMUhvKT
Is it due less to who than when: did the POTUS serve during a boom or bust (e.g., depression, recession, inflation, recovery)? Or is something about a GOP Prez antithetical to job growth? Data: https://t.co/pp9vf7lkbk 3/3
In messing with historical BLS Jobs data, found a surprise. Only one POTUS had a net job loss, that's Trump. And the POTUS with the #1 most jobs gains (per-month average) is… Biden. By far: almost double #2 Clinton. 1/3
Except for Nixon and Reagan, the GOP jefes tend to cluster at the bottom (least jobs/month) with Dems at the top. The chart shows each Dem regime building up the monthly job numbers followed by GOP regimes knocking them back down. 2/3

It wasn’t just Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat. This week, the women behind the Montgomery bus boycott tell their story in their own words.
“The bus boycott was not about sitting next to white people. It was about sitting anywhere you please.” https://t.co/MrXULmvIQz

Journalists continue to get AI wrong: It's just math. It does a few things better than humans. At most tasks it's somewhere between sux-and-OK. Still, major news sources gush over each new AI app (see @random_walker , @sayashk): https://t.co/a07NglTesb
Blockchain was once one of the many "things that will save journalism." Now it can barely save itself. Why? Ask ex-AWS (and XML spec co-author) @timbray : https://t.co/JNWsVRiS4K
