He told ChatGPT he was a nazі іncel who wanted to dіe, then asked how many people you’d have to shoot at his school to get on the news. ChatGPT helped him pick his ammo, pick his target, pick the best time for the massacre, and then told him how to use the gun. Then he did. youtu.be/IbG-JGdGniY

Share-Owning Journalism Orgs Press Paramount For Company Docs On Corrupt Trump Merger Dealings More than 4,000 Hollywood insiders recently signed a letter blasting Paramount’s planned $111 billion merger with Warner Brothers, noting that the massive consolidation will be very historically harmful…

In 2025 we supported 800+ journalists, 96% of them in hostile press freedom environments. Of the journalists surveyed 90% kept reporting after their legal case. Legal support doesn't just protect individuals, it keeps independent journalism alive . media-defence.shorthandstories.com/2025-impact-...

News update: As our story published, xAI quietly changed its contact address again, to another office in Estonia. I'm taking bets on whether, this time, their "office" is for real.

I used to be a WaPo Opinions video editor, and if a video didn't have 100 views within the first five minutes of publishing on Youtube, I would've considered it an embarrassing failure. Fortunately didn't happen much!

I'm a climate expert. I know 1000s of climate experts. One fact we all know: poor people care about climate more than rich people. Hardly surprising when you can't afford AC, work outside, etc. A few issues in the article... /1

Fun fact: I went to the 90th birthday party last night for my mentor & former employer Gar Alperovitz. He was one of the many conduits/smugglers of the Pentagon Papers that got the documents to journalists in 1971. He was never publicly identified, but appears as “Mr. Boston” in the movie version.

NEW: ChatGPT advised the FSU shooter that a mass shooting would get more attention from media if it involved several children, according to a new lawsuit against OpenAI www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

@peterbakernyt.bsky.social watch this clip. POTUS has immense power. He is a threat to the world. Please write more about his dangerous unfitness.

CBS Radio has been murdered by the right-wing Ellisons, it is not a passive “death”. It’s telling CBS Sunday Morning editors framed it passively & propagated the Ellisons’ emissary Bari Weiss’ propaganda. Large parts of the country still depend on radio. Another oligarch assault on #PressFreedom

Anti-democratic propaganda spread by states is often systematically enabled by attacks on speech rights of critics. It is a significant aspect of autocratisation. This podcast discusses the sneaky way free speech claims are used to attack on the credibility of critics, which has a chilling effect.

Update on Musk’s X.

Another attack on a black journalist, intimidation of the entire press pool and #PressFreedom. Credit to Rachel Scott for her courage and persistence. Also admirable and notable that Disney-ABC leadership has continued to support Scott.

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

Privacy is a human right because it gives you a fundamental measure of security and freedom. We owe it to ourselves to fight the mass surveillance used to control and intimidate people. Let’s do this. eff.org/spring

One definition of white privilege is the ability to tell the ED of the Louisiana Democratic Party “Shut up, boy” at a public hearing and the local daily paper won’t even mention it. app.theadvocate.com/article/redi...

"We commend ABC for standing up for itself and the First Amendment. The legal theories the FCC asserts against broadcast licensees are frivolous and unconstitutional, and FCC Chair Brendan Carr knows it," FPF's @seth-stern.bsky.social said.

One year ago, this administration walked away from a bipartisan commitment to help connect every American, regardless of income, zip code, or language. You can't lead in AI with a workforce locked out of the digital economy. It is time to restore Digital Equity Act funding now.

“Right-wing oligarchs with increasing control over mass-media platforms will make liberal U.S. democracy impossible to sustain. They will spend fortunes to finance GOP opposition and flood their media outlets with propaganda, until the public turns on Dems, or Dems abandon their egalitarian agenda.”

“The Bezos Washington Post”

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

If your coverage of the Virginia Supreme Court today doesn’t include “technicality” and “overturning the will of the voters,” you’re doing it wrong.

here we go again, the new york times calling an increase of 115k jobs under Trump "solid" while it called similar or considerably bigger gains under Biden "disappointing" or "weak"

Discourse about finding "the Rogan of the Left" or "the liberal answer to Fox News" rarely accounts for the reality that the entire conservative media universe is the enormously unprofitable vanity project of a few rich sociopaths. It "succeeds" because they don't care how much it costs.

@abigailspanberger.com now faces a career-defining moment. Is she a fighter or is she a folder? Does she have what it takes to do the right thing or is she going to retreat behind process and conservative legalism and give up?

The courts just ruled that the tariffs that Trump imposed to replace the ones the Supreme Court struck down were also illegal. Just as I reported in February. Major media outlets blew this story.

I founded this publication with my NLRB settlement from being fired in the union drive at Politico in 2016. For ten years, I have fought, sacrificed financially to tell the stories of workers fighting back. We desperately need your help.

WTF, NYer. "If we agree that college primarily serves a credentialling process that stamps select young people as worthy of work..." We do not. So much for the bastion of erudite journalism. This is sensationalism, damaging our most vital institution: education. www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...

NEW: The Trump administration blitz that flooded Minnesota with immigration agents hobbled federal efforts to pursue serious crimes. By April, prosecutors had brought charged just eight people with drug or gun crimes, the fewest in more than two decades. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

👋Hi! I’m Jessica Lussenhop, and for the last 4 years, I served as ProPublica’s first Minnesota-based reporter. But now I’ve got big news: On May 14, ProPublica is launching a brand new podcast! It’s called “Paper Trail,” and I’ll be your host. Thread 🧵

Good to see. This is also means your calls and petitions are working. Block the merger! variety.com/2026/biz/new...

Excellent piece by @markruffalo.bsky.social + @mattstoller.skystack.xyz on growing movement against WarnerMount merger: “The most revealing thing about that letter wasn’t the people who signed. It was the people who didn’t. Not because they disagreed — because they were afraid.” Block the merger!

In summary… SCOTUS Chief Justice ushers in the “John Crow” era then gaslights America.

Fearless journalism.

This is what state media looks like. “Meet the Free Speech Warrior” of an unabashedly anti-free speech administration

Congrats @jkbjournalist.bsky.social on your overdue Pulitzer recognition. FYI. Alan Dershowitz on Newsmax referring to Epstein as a "3 or 4" on a scale of 10 for sex offenders.”

It is hard to believe that a former NYT editor, who doesn’t appear to have covered the Epstein case, knew so much about it that he could convince a Pulitzer jury that the Miami Herald hadn’t broken significant new ground. I’ve served 5x on these juries, and they aren’t usually so easily swayed

“Writing is hard.” Thrilled to share that this simple idea led to a new paper in Political Analysis! Where most text methods focus on content, I test if expression is also effortful action. I find simple measures like character counts reveal attitudes and predict voting. cup.org/4cUmoXi 1/

1. This is deeply ominous and of a piece with much else from this administration 2. Shame on those who said that they support Trump because "free speech."

More importantly, here we go again: just like Trump's two prior nominees for Surgeon General, Saphier is statutorily ineligible for the position, and the Senate may not confirm her. She has neither significant experience nor specialized training in public health programs, as the law requires.
