That's a thing

... another day, too.

But we do know that they're using it.

Muck Rack's latest, uh, survey of journalists, it's actually the 2026 State of Journalism Report, found that eight out of 10 journalists are using at least one AI tool, and that's up from 77% last year.

ChatGPT is, is first, Gemini, Claude.

Claude l- usage this year has doubled to 12%.

So this is what journalists are reporting that they're using.

who we are sarah you want to take it away I do.

Hi, everyone.

I'm Sarah Larson.

I'm a menopause coach here in the Twin Cities.

My deepest passion is making sure women have access to good information and then know what to do with it.

So the three things I'm most excited to talk to you about that I picked, at least for today, because there's actually a crazy long list that we don't have time for.

What are the symptoms that people often are coming to that was like their aha of okay, this must be perimenopause or menopause?

You have lawyers and, you know, f- former government workers, and then you also just have like tourists, but are there any interactions you had that kind of stood out to you?

I mean, I get depressed about politics often in the last decade-plus, and I do a fair amount of writing about political events of various kinds all over the country, and it always amazes me how encouraged I tend to be after, um...

When I just talk to regular voters, regular citizens, I tend to come away encouraged rather than more discouraged.

And this was definitely an instance of that.

I- I was really moved almost to tears by everyone who told me why they were there and what they were doing.

You know, there was a, a woman who was a lawyer for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau who was telling me what Doge had been doing and how, you know, she hasn't been working since February and she's been going to protests and hoping that her agency will be able to be saved.

There was a constitutional law professor.

What did people at the protest seem most upset about in terms of Musk's recent actions? Like did you find that they were most often talking about Doge and the idea of this unelected billionaire kind of coming in and making critical decisions about the federal workforce? Was it about getting involved in the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race? Was it SpaceX and Tesla and the actual companies that he owns, or was it just like all over the place?
