Making a brief return to this toxic platform to say that I have five Bluesky invites to share. You don't have to be here. There are options. Shoot me a DM if you're interested. nytimes.com/2024/01/25/us/…
Returning briefly to this hellsite to let folks know I have two invites to Bluesky, if anybody wants one. Just DM me.
A Nazi hashtag is trending here. Just in case you were wondering whether this platform has somehow gotten less shitty.

Feeling like the police raiding a local town newspaper might have been a strategic mistake now that millions of people across the country know some restaurant owner named Kari Newell desperately didn’t want people to know about her DUI

Since he's making the rounds on Twitter again, I would like to reissue a PSA that I am not Canadian politician Andrew Scheer. Thank you very much.

My week in Twitter jail is up. Seems like the place is still burning to the ground nicely.
After becoming the first Colorado newspaper to unionize in 80+ years, Loveland Reporter-Herald journalists have won raises for their entire newsroom. These reporters endured years of disinfo from their out-of-state hedge fund bosses who said unionizing wouldn’t change anything.
Remarkable how closely the characteristics of anti-vaxxers resemble anti-trans activists (from "Anti-vaxxers: How to Challenge a Misinformed Movement" by Jonathan M. Berman)
Saying the loss of newsrooms is why democracy is in danger overlooks the existence of journalistic practices that are damaging to democracy. The resurrection | creation of newsrooms alone will not address the threat to democracy without fundamental changes to the practice itself.
I understand that old guys shouldn’t be hung up on such things, but I am having a very good hair day and am rather happy with my appearance at the moment and felt like sharing these facts.
It used to be that Twitter sucked but at least it was good. Now Twitter sucks but it also sucks. I know y’all get exactly what I mean.
Nah Vince looks like he’s about to defraud the Muppets
done with chemo, hopefully forever. i’m looking forward to resuming life as usual. no more disruptions. no more cancer. just a long life filled with crazy fun stories to tell you all.
I love trans @newsguild members, leaders and staff. They make our union and society stronger and better. 🏳️⚧️✊
I hope people see this as news organizations taking a stance that credibility is not something you pay for. I saw at least one story about whether news orgs would pony up, but framing should be more focused on why paying for verification is a faulty concept to buy into.
In an internal note, Politico announced that it will not pay for Twitter Blue accounts for staff. "In the future, a checkmark will no longer mean you are a verified journalist. Instead, it will simply mean you are paying for benefits such as longer tweets and fewer ads."

Left-wing billionaires want to do “innovative” projects about The Future of News or whatever but their money would be far better spent just hiring 10 reporters each for the Village Voice, the Portland Mercury, etc.
And every subsequent person being like "but really, how hard can stopping Dracula be"
The thing that makes the John Wick movies conceptually fun is how hard they leaned into the inciting incident being -- essentially -- "oops, you just carjacked Dracula"
