Like the title says, I’m a reporter with UF / WUFT in Gainesville, working on a story about Santa Fe College’s reputation in town.

Do you feel like SF students are looked down on by UF students? Or do you feel fully welcomed by them?

Do you feel comfortable mentioning your SF status in town? Do you hide it among certain crowds?

Do you feel like you have had to justify WHY you’re attending SF, or been confronted for it?

Please comment or message me if you’d like your opinions to be included in a published news story on the topic, your help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you! (from a fellow SF grad 👨‍🎓 👋)

Every single social media platform is absolutely brimming with (usually incredibly obvious) Chinese bots. They usually spam inflammatory or political comments on American content, trying to stir up social turmoil.

How can I know this?

Go on ANY political, travel, geography, history or similar post on Instagram or Reddit, and comment ANYTHING in reference to Chinese concentration camps or their treatment of the Uyghurs.

Your inbox will instantly be filled with dozens and dozens of accounts (almost always called something like “Rick_Stevens13” with a stock image of an American man as a profile picture, and less than 50 followers) saying one of 3 things. Those being: telling you to kill your self and instantly being extremely aggressive, claiming that there is no such concentration camps and there never has been, or rehashing your own LinkedIn (or other public shit) into the chat to say you’re somehow unqualified to make that claim.

This happens EVERY single time, no matter where you comment this. They’re literally magnetized towards it so strongly that they drop the act of being an American person just being agitating online, and basically expose themselves as Chinese fake accounts. I’ve had numerous DM me in Chinese after the first public conversation.

This is a legitimate issue, and honestly (slightly) justified the whole US purchase of TikTok from awhile back.

I’m a University of Florida journalism student who’s attempting to write a news piece on bottle digging in North Central Florida.

The drought here has made it a great place to partake in this hobby, and I’d love to hear from (potentially ask a few questions to) some Floridians here in your experiences.

You don’t have to be from Florida or living here right now, any input that you’d want the public to know would be great!

This story may be published to the news!

With the droughts recently, the bottle digging in and around Gainesville has been great. Wondering if anyone else in town is into this (admittedly niche) hobby at all?

Any cool finds? Spots? Anything, let me know!

I am interviewing for my first SaaS sales job currently. I have a decent amount of sales experience, outreach experience and an (I guess) impressive AI solutions consulting role from earlier this year.

This all on my resume has got me an ok amount of interviews, but not enough where I can be too picky with “which job I take”. I have an interview for the Enterprise SDR role at Rippling, which comes with a bit more perks than many entry level SDR roles, and importantly, an honestly strong base pay compared to the others I’ve interviewed with (~$15k more base, which is a lot for a new grad lol).

Issue is, I hear Rippling is straight up horrible to work at.

I know it’s worth taking the interview just for good practice, and I know the experience and pay would be great on my resume, especially as a first job, but I worry if it’s as bad as some online say, that extra money won’t make it worth it.

So, what to do? Help me out!
