Journalist trials are rare. Usually prosecutors come to their senses and drop these cases. In normal times this would be national news.

If I played saxophone, I'd be playing the opening riff of "Baker Street" all day every day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo6a...

Seth Rogan has said similar things too. Basically that if you want to be funny, you need to change with the times, not complain that a joke you made 20 years ago didn't age well

Yes yes but he said it calmly while wearing a button down shirt. So truly who can say if it was bad.

I got verbally smacked after a certain basketball player died when I mentioned he was a rapist, like his accidental death erased anything bad he had done. :-( Yes, so can still feel sad for people who cared for him, but his victim/crime isn't magically erased because he died.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

Look at that eyeball alien making plans within plans

Oh. So *that’s* what wuthering means.

Maybe y’all don’t recognize this form factor, but I do. This is a reporter’s notebook. www.theverge.com/news/769005/...

I was in the courtroom when a DHS lawyer tried to argue that filming ICE equals encouraging incitement of violence. A) Press didn't do that. B) He denied DHS did things we caught on video. Which ... proves why press needs to film police/ICE/DHS. Thanks for making our point for us, DHS lawyer!

And maybe some pitchforks.

Video recording police isn’t the equivalent of throwing a Molotov cocktail at them, no matter what Kristi Noem says.

Apropos of nothing I really miss the original Rogue

Just imagine what is being saved for the book this week.

I feel so seen

over a million people fucking died and we have had no public reckoning over it and we are arguing over school closures still. just unbelievably misplaced priorities.

kinda feel that Elizabeth Gilbert has seriously overestimated the relatability of 'i planned the murder of my life partner' here

elizabeth gilbert may claim to be in recovery, but writing and promoting this narcissistic narrative that replaces the grandiosity of “helping rayya” with “helping everyone understand” is dry drunk behavior. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Sometimes authors reach a certain point of success where no one will tell them "no don't publish that." Elizabeth Gilbert has been past that point for a long time, but with this, she just leapt into another dimension.

in re Elizabeth Gilbert: i understand that moral luck plays a role in all our lives, and i have certainly done some astonishingly stupid things in the name of love myself over the years, but i don't think you get to go "whomst among us" about fucking ATTEMPTED MURDER.

I read this whole thing without knowing it was Elizabeth Gilbert, and, yes, that Elizabeth Gilbert and … I am rendered speechless by the revelation that I can actually dislike her more.

[In the voice of Barry Gibb] How long is your caaaattt How long is your cat Cause I really need to knowwwww Cause we're livin in a world of cats

I'm never reading her under any name again, so there's that.

“Graced by my presence.” Aw. Bless.

Welp, time to burn a flag

Why are you posting content that’s behind a paywall?

one thing that keeps happening is Trump taking major steps which impose large, often asymmetric costs on American business, and American business doing fucking nothing in response

Goodnight from Keith Hoyt, dubious of Nathan Tippet’s promise that all the secrets of magic can be found in his lock-up garage. Goodnight from Martha Underwood, entering an understandable state of low panic after discovering a clay effigy left on her doorstep. Goodnight from Hookland.

Folklore needs to be told. It needs to be transmitted. It desires to jump from pub to pub, playground to post office queue. It has a. Intrinsic dislike of stasis, of being trapped in the ink cages of of books. Folklore wants to be in our conversations and in our shivers. - #CLNolan #FolkloreSunday

Reporters maybe?

Can he also not see colors

Happy Folklore Friday everybody! Get your folklore on.

The jumbotron is not the problem here.

Nobody's getting "doxxed". These were two adults knowingly attending a massively-attended public event and indiscreetly PDA-ing.

"This is bad and you should feel bad because normal people could be affected!" Cites zero normal people. Dude got caught on a kiss cam cheating like in a bad 90s movie. That's not doxxing, or AI, or facial recognition programs. This is literally 1980s technology at work.

Expecting privacy for yourself and your girlfriend at a concert with 20,000 people is kind of ridiculous, though. Like, the boldness of being out there in a huge crowd, hugging your mistress, knowing that people film everything, and being shocked you got seen? lol. Living in a love bubble, I guess.

Also, what happened here is not "doxing" fwiw

Oh my god you guys the snakes have legs

This is so great. I hope that @onthemedia.bsky.social can feature this!!

But have you considered that if you don't have access, you can't go to a press conference and get lied to for an hour and called dishonorable when you suggest any part is a lie?

You don't need access to the administration to cover the administration.

Just $53 more!!!

Join us to hear about the attacks on the press at the LA protests directly from independent journalists who experienced them. freedom.press/reporting-un...

Let us pray

I would also add that you should not leave your cat alone in the home with screened windows open. I have heard way too many stories about terrified cats busting or clawing through screens and getting lost while experiencing fireworks distress. If you must leave them make sure they are secure!

“Congress” didn’t pass this murder budget. Republicans did it. Republicans did it without a single Democratic vote in the House, without a single Democratic vote in the Senate. Be precise and give, uh, credit where credit is due
