Journalism is not a crime.

Currently reading:

People always asking me on book tour how much facial recognition technology helps police. Officers told me it's hugely beneficial when used correctly (i.e., along w/other evidence). New research support those claims: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... via www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

“Where are the Panamanian voices here? They are completely lost in this larger story of Trump’s efforts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/b...

«You missed a left turn… recalculating…»

Slashing the U.S. quarterly GDP forecast by 5.1%—from +2.3% to -2.8%—in a single week. … The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model looks grim: www.atlantafed.org/cqer/researc... — of course, even this can still be twisted, manipulated, reinterpreted. To fit the chosen lie. 📊 Data source: Atlanta Fed. 🔗 GDPNow

„Court documents allege that Peterson hired Forlit to collect damaging information on … Exxon opponents that could be leaked to the press and used in litigation. Forlit then targeted those individuals through “computer hacking and other cybercrimes.” www.wsj.com/business/who...

How to keep up whilst working in different time zones:

Democracy dies in deference

Die Schwarze Liste der CDU und CSU:

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Die Dämonisierung von zivilem Engagement nimmt wirklich gespenstische Züge an. Mir macht es Angst, wie Einspruch gegen rechtsradikale, autoritäre Positionen angefeindet wird. Einspruch gegen Menschenverachtung ist nicht nur ein grundgesetzliches Recht - es ist unsere demokratische Pflicht.

Guten Morgen aus Manila 🇵🇭, wo mein Wahlabend erst beginnt:

it’s a Roman Salute!

Die Jüdische Gemeinde Frankfurt hat gestern einen fulminantes Symposium zum 80. Jahrestag der Befreiung von Auschwitz veranstaltet, konzipiert von Michel Friedman, mit einer schmerzlich klugen Keynote von @carolinemckenna.bsky.social und pointierten Gedanken von vielen Publizist:innen - danke

Politisches Feuilleton heute von @fmaschewski.bsky.social über die falsch verstandene & strategisch eingesetzte "Neutralität" der Informationsoligarchen Musk, Zuckerberg & Co. – nach einer möglichen Musk-Übernahme TikToks in den USA umso passender: www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/fake-news-di...

"a far less recognized part of the story is the intelligence teams within Western companies that accurately assessed the possibility of an invasion and helped evacuate employees, draw down business operations, and mitigate risks to supply chains" tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Our 40-min short doc on #Jan6 four years ago traced the groundwork laid by those in Trump’s orbit, how the attack unfolded, key players on the day and the effort to shift the narrative afterward. youtu.be/jWJVMoe7OY0?...

My interview w Pulitzer winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes about her resignation from WaPo over killed sketch on tech titans, including Bezos “They own a newspaper and they have an obligation, frankly, to protect the free press.” www.npr.org/2025/01/04/n...

More selective mind-reading by NYT headline writers. “Claims” would work fine here.

Breaking: President Zourabichvili has decided to leave the residence. “I will be with you. This building was a symbol only as long as a legitimate president was sitting here. I take legitimacy with me. I am taking the flag with me. I am taking the people’s trust with me.”

In einem Interview mit der Süddeutschen Zeitung (@szde.bsky.social) sagte #SAP-CEO Christian Klein, dass es in der Schweiz jemanden gebe, der über Ministerien und Kantone hinweg über IT-Systeme entscheiden würde, siehe Screenshot: Ein Thread mit einem kleinen Twist:

The Blake Lively lawsuit reminds me of a situation in 2014. An Uber exec at that time, Emil Michael, suggested spending a whole lot of money to smear a woman reporter-editor (Sarah Lacy) who wrote about unsavory stuff happening at Uber. He apologized later... www.buzzfeednews.com/article/bens...

As I wrote today, these smear campaigns are STILL happening against female journalists and male “media reporters” at CNN, NPR, Semafor and other major outlets happily participate in them in order to drive women journalists out of the industry www.usermag.co/p/blake-live...

Off for the holidays.
