This is journalism malpractice 101, and it should be taught in J-schools as such. What in bloody hell does "widely accepted mean"? It's not "widely accepted". It's true. The other alternative is false. Full stop.

Underneath all of those articles is a deep fury that Bluesky punishes instead of rewarding lazy and/or hostile engagement farming. Try to build a following here with trolling and slurs and you'll find yourself in a ghost town. To them that is simply intolerable.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

You can always count on The New York Times to minimize the scale and impact of protest. Yesterday's 2000+ No Kings actions smashed records for the most demonstrations in a single day. So the Times decided to publish a horseshit map of just a handful of "confirmed locations." We're not fooled.

Just think of all the narcissistic injury Trump could’ve avoided if he had only celebrated his birthday by holding an invitation-only Gala for his biggest supporters.

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Also see everything in media about the Columbine shooters that didn't mention they were white supremacists who wrote eugenicist screeds and praised Hitler and nazi Germany.

This is mostly because the median Democratic politician insists on constructing a made-up median American voter in their head, who they base on some combination of Archie Bunker and William Buckley.

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

Each stick has to be placed just right in the nest. There isn't much known about the breeding of the Agami Heron, but that's going to be much easier now with this amazing new rookery discovered in northern Costa Rica. We've watched the birds collecting material and working on their nests. #birds
