holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

look i get this is good news, but from a media standpoint, can people maybe please stop sharing posts from this account? this post doesn't credit the source AT ALL, and most others bury the link in a second post, which is extremely shady www.thelec.kr/news/article...

Just when I can’t imagine any more antipatterns to hate about Substack: not only are authors over there allowed to subscribe me to their stuff without consent, that then creates an account for me without my consent, which makes other people think I have an account, which they can then follow.

Amazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results. t.co/JXeTALBPds

Social Media really did doom us by driving elites crazy. Marc Andreseen became convinced the social contract had broken down and that there was no point trying to be a socially responsible wealthy person because there was no philanthropy he could do that would make people stop yelling at him online.

The very same corrupt PR-journalism nexus that protected Weinstein for years are the exact same people who are now most enthusiastically pushing Cuomo's candidacy

A couple weeks ago, Inc. laid off a couple of executive editors and is now hiring...an executive digital director to replace them? One of the reasons readers have lost trust in media is because pubs lay off institutional knowledge. In order to save a buck, these publications wind up spending $3.

working in public health policy, over the years you develop a good eye for a propaganda strategy called the "manufacture of doubt". what the new york times did here was exactly that. big tobacco would be proud

This is, at best, really sloppy work. At worst, it's NYT doing what they do best: obfuscating the facts.

People outside the games industry don't grasp that this is absolutely unheard of. Workers don't get royalties, and we definitely don't get performance bonuses. When we make a hit game we sometimes just get laid off

I couldn't let that Confessore piece slide. It was such a disgusting hit piece on a vulnerable community in a moment of crisis. I dissected the article and why its framings are dishonest at best and outright lies of ommission at worst. www.thedissident.news/anatomy-of-a...

It's really easy to be negative about social media - the platforms deserve every bit of criticism they get - but I've met so many truly lovely, wonderful, interesting, mind-expanding people through Twitter, Instagram, and now Bluesky.

I'll say this: Growing up in the rural Pacific Northwest and listening to things people have been saying there over the past 20 years makes what's happening today a lot less surprising. Timothy McVeigh was an inspiration to white supremacists I met on construction sites.

I hate AI/LLMs but also the idea of constantly altering my own prose (and the prose that appears on Typebar) to filter out words ChatGPT allegedly likes to use sounds like a recipe for insanity.
