journalism’s pivot to ai is the next pivot to video.

[Deadline @DEADLINE]

EXCLUSIVE: More than two decades after soaring through the skies as Peter Pan and Wendy Darling in Universal’s 2003 live-action version of 'Peter Pan', Jeremy Sumpter and Rachel Hurd-Wood are reuniting to star in 'Strawberry Roam' https://t.co/F6GYPT8ceA

And how does this all affect the websites that made Google’s AI possible in the first place?

We used @ahrefs to estimate search traffic figures between 2023 and 2025 for over 500 web publishers, big and small.

Our data shows that nearly four in five web publishers have experienced traffic losses since June 2023, with almost half of all websites analyzed seeing traffic from Google Search dropping by at least 60%.

As if AI slop wasn’t enough of an issue for Reddit mods, Google has now created a shortcut for anyone wanting to rank on the first page of results.

Now, Reddit is full of posts asking for advice that include products the OP is “considering” hyperlinked to Amazon listings... We found many many MANY "Redditors" with a post history full of “questions” about products 🙄

Beginning to feel consumed by what I can only describe as climate anxiety but for AI

[Stand Up To Racism @AntiRacismDay]

We organised protests to oppose the far right across the country last weekend, and hundreds more this week

With racist attacks & fascists on the streets, there is an urgent task to build the antiracist fightback

[Thorowgood Community Group @ThorowgoodCG]

Thanks to everyone from our fantastic community who turned out for our consultation on Thursday 18th - we had amazing weather, amazing food, and so many brilliant ideas for the future of the Thorowgood Building.

We're excited for what comes next - follow here for updates!

NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BC HE DIDNT HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HES SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG IM EMOTIONALLY RUINED

[Alex Hanna (اليكس حنٌا) @alexhanna]

We need to ban tech CEOs from using the term "democratizing"

What the hell does "democratizing creativity" mean? Are y'all blocking access to pens and paints?

[Brian Merchant @bcmerchant]

The irony of this vacuous statement is that OpenAI is doing the exact *opposite* of “democratizing creativity”—by flooding the market with cheap AI products they’re destroying the market for creative work, making it harder than ever for all but elite creatives to earn a living

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

we live in a paradox bc there has never been more freedom and more options, but for the majority of men, dress has never been uglier bc so many are afraid of standing out in any way. "don't wear this" and "don't wear that." so then you're left with chinos and a polo shirt.

[Serious trans vibes Comics @AssignedMale]

Goodbye, Lynn. Thank you for your constant support and encouragement since the first day I started these comics. It has meant the world to me, and I wish I could have told you. We will remember you forever.

[Public Hakita Is a Good Idea @HakitaDev]

Even the more business-minded people around can recognise that if you pirate a game, then enjoy it, spread word about it and get someone else to buy it, that's at worst an equal trade, at best an additional sale that wouldn't have happened if you hadn't pirated it.

[Bex Sentance @rainbowbex]

@LincolnMargison @HakitaDev Adobe is virulently anti-piracy... so not sure this is true 😅

[Bex Sentance @rainbowbex]

This is very very good. https://t.co/LXwICzNVfE

@Deku_shrub @emilymbender But also the evaluation could contain hallucinations. These things aren't reliable.

[Bex Sentance @rainbowbex]

Not the point, though, is it, Google? Because if someone *had* Googled that query, they could have used context to infer that the results were not serious. AI overviews erase that context.

@emilymbender makes this very salient point in her post here: https://t.co/hd0EbCfcWv
