It's not that Biden's decline while in office, and the effort to hide it, isn't a story. It's just that the guy currently in office is also in serious decline, dangerously so, and was even before he was elected, and there oddly doesn't seem to be the same fervor to cover that story.

Like you, this has been making me shout-at-the-screen angry I think there's a media sociology explanation partially at play here. I think it has to do with access to sources - but not like you think. A short thread:

On one hand, the news is another example that everyone watches women's sports, and that level of investment is a good thing. However. Has ANYTHING ever been improved by bringing private equity in?

When I interviewed KKK leaders in Arkansas, this is what they said too. “We don’t hate anyone. We just love our own people.” Then they burned a cross.

That episode of @pablo.show out about Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson did more than break news. It suggests an approach to journalism that lets us rethink how to tell stories. It also reminded me of the first season of Serial. New at Sports Media Guy: sportsmediaguy.substack.com/p/you-guys-a...

All the Dems looking for “the next Joe Rogan” are missing the forest for the trees which is finding someone who can craft a story with the audience and take them on a journey. That’s it

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

What I will never understand about the AI evangelists is, like, what are you doing with your life if you're not doing these things? If you're not planning your kid's birthday party and a family vacation, what are you doing? That IS your life, folks!

This book is truly excellent. It's funny, it's poignant, but most importantly, it is FUN! (You can hear all about it on The Other 51 later this week please like and subscribe). Congrats @williamfleitch.bsky.social, who remains the writer I want to be when I grow up.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

I don't think we can fight AI creep by weaponizing grades. Nobody learns anything if we decide our job is to be plagiarism mall cops. If we don't win this argument at the level of process, convincing students they CAN'T learn what we have to teach them if they outsource to AI, we won't win at all.

the thing thing about the admonition to “not take the bait” is that while it makes sense in the context of an election — where you are trying to communicate a narrow set of ideas broadly — it does not make sense in the context of “how do we make this president as unpopular as possible”

I'm going to write more about this episode over at Sports Media Guy soon. But not only was it so good and well reported, but as piece of journalism, I thought what @pablo.show did was fascinating. It gave me big Serial Season 1 vibes. Stick with me (a short 🧵)
