The "Jesse Singal follower" indicator is a great feature on this site, every one of those people is dishonest and incurious in the exact same way that's hard to articulate except as "Jesse Singal follower"

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

Something else to thank EM for. "The sustained rate of daily reentries is unprecedented," says Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics who tracks satellites. "They are retiring and incinerating about 4 or 5 Starlinks every day." @planet4589.bsky.social #astronomy

People don't realize how often reporters wan to tell a specific story, then get people to fill in the quotes supporting it. These a-holes are just farmers in Midwest diners. They're the opposite of representative. They are the 1 scientist in 100 who doesn't accept the evidence of climate change.

::Taps sign:: (My LAT op-ed from 2023) "As fewer people rode public transit — particularly the train system — social norms eroded....The best way forward is to take lessons from the bus and get more people on board to enforce public transit’s social norms."

He was telling the best story. The story was a lie, but it was a story. And most of the media wasn’t interested in telling a different story, because their bosses wanted him to win.

The premier of BC just opened by talking about how Canadians helped fight the fires in Los Angeles. I'm not sure how many other areas of life are going to be disrupted in a trade war, but this is obviously going to be much broader than price hikes at the grocery store.

News orgs still adding their little EXCLUSIVE tags on stories about the dismantling of the entire government is a bit on the nose

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.
