This camera was just ... awful. But it plays games!

I mean, if this isn't a great use of AI for filmmaking, I don't know what is.

[Mr. Newberger @jeremynewberger]

The power of AI has allowed me to bring you the Trump Harris debate one night early, or at least Trump's top secret strategy to win.

[Wasim Ahmad @PicGuide]

I have said it for years and I’ll say it again: stop saying things are “sexually and racially charged.” The things Donald Trump says are sexist and racist, full stop.

I’m aware that @nytimes doesn’t follow AP style, but AP has also come to the same conclusion about “charged.”

Management at Hearst have FIRED a union organizer in a clear case of retaliation. Tell Hearst to reinstate Adrian and recognize the @CTnewsguild! #UnionBustingIsDisgusting https://t.co/z0bDpceGI4

Been called a lot of things in teaching evaluations over 15 years. None hurt more than being called a #DEI hire by a student who didn't put in the time & was graded accordingly. That @RepTimBurchett employs the same attack against @VP @KamalaHarris shows him for the #racist he is

[Manu Raju @mkraju]

Rep. Tim Burchett, a conservative Republican from Tennessee, attacks VP Kamala Harris as a "DEI hire."

FSTOPPERS: Photojournalism Is Still (Mostly) for White Men, as Revealed by a Stunning Getty Images Photograph https://t.co/m6YOv06dup @fstoppers @picguide #photojournalism #journalism

[Chirag Wakaskar (चिराग वाकसकर) @chiragwakaskar]

As with any article that challenges how White a profession photojournalism or photography is - the comments are often equally revealing.

@chiragwakaskar There was another moment where I thought to write this a third time but I’m sure the actual number of times I could reuse this article is considerably higher. Thanks for shining a light on the issue.

For his first NYT byline @ShawnMcCreesh pens a lede for the ages.

@danpassapera @sacredheartuniv Congratulations!

[Wasim Ahmad @PicGuide]

As professors, one of the unwritten parts of the job is to protect our students in any way we can. It is shocking in this video how @CarolineFohlin was treated for doing just that in what appears to be the least threatening way possible.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Antisemitism is never acceptable. But protesting against the slaughter in Gaza is not inherently antisemitic.

It is doing what should be done on a college campus – taking a stand against a perceived wrong, thereby provoking discussion and debate. https://t.co/RakHQStpMP

[Wasim Ahmad @PicGuide]

@morgantencza I am so sorry you had to experience that. I have heard from many colleagues in the industry that they have had these kinds of comments directed at them and it’s never OK.

[Wasim Ahmad @PicGuide]

@NicoleMcisaac @danpassapera My son wants to know if you got in trouble lol

[Austin NewsGuild @AustinNewsGuild]

Denied use of their professional cameras by @Gannett, this is the only image striking Austin American-@Statesman photojournalists were able to take of the 2024 total eclipse in Texas 😔

[Wasim Ahmad @PicGuide]

If you know a high school student that's into photography, consider sending them to my camp @QuinnipiacU this summer. It's a great way to get a taste of the college experience, make some life-long friends, and learn some cool stuff along the way: https://t.co/O2sMHtdO0z
