Not unusual. I’ve seen where news comes out one day and crickets, but when reported again in different context the appropriate response is finally elicited.
With the pace of shit that comes out of the WH and his cronies, sometimes this is great. Deja vu is appropriate.
It's strange on here when you see a news story developing.Like last week,I swear the finer details of that "3 Yale professors move to Toronto" story got hammered out in the comments section of a post.If Historiography is the study of how history is told/taught,is there a corresponding study of news?
Not surprised. I came across Ken Klippenstein’s stuff a while ago on Substack. I’d never heard of him. He struck me as being full of himself and rather toxic. First post I saw from him after joining Bluesky I immediately muted him. I don’t care what that asshole has to say.
Not surprised at all by this move. @kenklippenstein.bsky.social has always been a clout chaser and grifter. Am surprised though he steals from @marisakabas.bsky.social, even I in the Netherlands heard about her investigative journalism and most recently her 🔥 work re: federal workers issues.
Don't know how to avoid that using social media. Those with more followers get more comments/likes, and thus more exposure to non-followers that then might follow.
I follow many known "klepto" posters. I view them as aggregators, bringing attention to something I may, or may not, have missed.
It doesn't help that even here, it is a popularity contest. Even if you don't follow someone, you still see their posts everyday. Millions of people here on Bluesky and the algorithm shows us the same people in the misnamed Discover. Even in following I don't see lots of people I follow.
The senior career FSOs eligible for retirement ( almost all of them) must either quit or admit they are first violin in the Joy Division. Assholes. My flaming hatred knows now limits. Traitors.
Well that makes for an easy unfollow and follow correction, I didn't mind too much his posting style but I abhor content thieves and liars, particularly the latter in news media.
Folks still getting grifted from 2016 hashtag resisters. Where's is Louise Mensch and... what was that dude's name that partnered with her? He went anti-Trump so well he started selling shitty paintings at stupid prices and made bank! I guess at least they were not stealing work for their glow up.
I’m not saying we should spam @kenklippenstein.bsky.social with this hbomberguy video every time he posts anything but I am absolutely saying you should do that
You know, I've been following you on here and I think on Twitter for years. I had no idea Darts and Laurels was back. (Or that Sewell Chan was now running CJR). That column was a must read for decades! I think I got a laurel once (though can't remember what for) and it made my year.
Well, this won't be the first time in human history that a man has appropriated a woman's work to reap the benefits for himself. Thank you for your excellent work Marisa, and I'm boycotting this Ken.
people who have no clue how the world around them works think liberal = leftist, when liberals are center-right wing, Stancil being one of the farthest right.
words mean things, but people who are used to indulging in politics as gossip & entertainment are free of that burden.

Surprise, surprise.
Mfer is silent as fuck on that
As always, awesome work, Marisa. 👏🏾
(fwiw I get Klipp's emails and I don't pay a dime for any of it...unclear what the $100 a year website is)
