Here for the chat. Politically agnostic, MAGA & ACAB are the same anarchist craziness to me, but Brian Thompson trespassed on rail lines & got hit by a train.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

The Good Friday Agreement was signed 27 years ago today. I'll always feel grateful to the people who made it happen - and tbh, even after all this time, am still quietly amazed almost to the point of disbelief that they prevailed. A fundamentally human miracle; imperfect, resilient, generative.

Toni Morrison-- "Fascism talks ideology, but it is really just marketing—marketing for power. It is recognizable by its need to purge, by the strategies it uses to purge, and by its terror of truly democratic agendas.

The basic problem with elite American journalism is that it can admit the possibility that a politician could be corrupt, unfit, criminal, or even authoritarian but it can never, ever actually arrive at the conclusion that a major politician IS any of those things.

Saddened to lose a good bluesky-er to the “people who ask for paywall labels are scum” crowd, but he blocked me so evidently we don’t stand apart in good faith. Lads, it’s the same as Alt text. An inclusive gesture, albeit not as essential. To let it anger you is silly, to fall out over it tragic.

Tell you what, even if your work *isn’t* at threat of existential crisis, this is a good idea.

It has really hit home to me this week, spending time with European allies, how much the vibe has shifted regarding the USA - not only for the present, but for the foreseeable future. Not a blip, but a fundamental reorganisation of our outlook. You can't surge trust, and it is largely lost.

I feel like I’m about to get blocked for opposing someone throwing his toys out the pram for being asked to label his paywalled shares.

Nope. You put “(paywall)” on the post. Assumption of access is what the Tories do. And we are not Tory here. Same for ALT text.

Never thought I’d react to a story about the US not being ready to mount an amphibious assault in the Atlantic with relief, but here we are.

The more I watch security-related pressers, the more I feel the impulses of journalists can push us towards irresponsible coverage. I'm watching journalists try really hard to tease out the narrative China was trying to weave in an influence campaign as security officials tell them it's unhelpful.

I wonder what it’ll take before @skynewsrss.bsky.social & others stop broadcasting the orange scumbag live. When he declares “liberation” of Canada & Greenland? When he goes to war with Europe? When there’s a war on the Americas?
