Chicago’s first self-cleaning toilet opens today at the Polish Triangle. The free facility will be open 7-7 daily. The toilet bowl and floors are cleaned automatically after each use, and each visit is limited to 15 minutes, two technicians here told me. @BlockClubCHI

In October, @USATODAYCo laid off 7 reporters in Wisconsin, including at the @journalsentinel, @gbpressgazette, cutting essential local reporting from communities already dealing with reduced coverage. @mkenewsguild has organized a way to support our laid off colleagues⤵️

These publications want you to be everything. The reporter, the editor, the copy editor, the fact-checker, the videographer, the podcast producer, the graphics editor, the data editor, the audience engagement lead... It's exploitative, & the quality is suffering.

[Max Tani @maxwelltani]

From the @semafor media newsletter: Unlabeled AI writing is all over the pages of local news organizations across the country. Opponents of Waymo, for example, have been placing op-eds partially or almost entirely written with AI in local newspapers.

No matter where you are in Chicago, it inconvenient to get to Logan Square

[Kristen Lopez @kristenklopez]

Salon ceasing publication effective immediately.

One of the few sites not owned by a major corporation. Sadly, private equity did what it does here. Another outlet gone. Journalism is fucked and we’re all doomed.

One thing they don’t warn you about being a Woman in Journalism in 2026 is that you will absolutely have to watch men who are shitty to women advance in this industry and face zero consequences. It’s still the way of the world and will be until we change it.

How many editors have dismissed great ideas only to scramble to cover those ideas later...

Someone said “I miss when the internet was a library instead of a store”

I felt that deep in my Millennial soul

This is really cool: the Boston Globe talked to me and my middle school teacher @bobcatalini about how I caught the election bug in his class. And how we’ve reconnected via horse racing and @RealBackstretch

On this last day of Filipino American History Month, I share why this feature on Balikbayan Book Club is personal.

Foreign monarchs shouldn't vote in American elections, imo.

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

We have heard from several AP style fans that you're teaching your AI tool to proof for AP style.
We understand the appeal, which is why we've worked with the proofing tools company Tansa to offer automated AP style proofing for over two decades.
Why shouldn't you DIY this?
We have about 4,000 entries in the AP Stylebook, and many of them include multiple rules under one heading. That's a lot of prompts to write.
Tansa employs linguists who update the rules-based recommendations weekly when the Stylebook's editors add or change guidance. This ongoing maintenance is often what people don't account for when they set up their own AI proofing.
Try the AP style proofing tool we've sold since well before artificial intelligence was a trend: https://t.co/h0zvpbByTd

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

We have new artificial intelligence guidelines on Stylebook Online, informed by the AP's own policies on what we do and don't do with AI.
One tip: Any output from an AI tool should be treated as unvetted source material. You must apply your editorial judgment and sourcing standards when considering and editing any information for publication.
For the full list of considerations, subscribe to AP Stylebook Online. https://t.co/fCfjYvsDco
