"At one point, jurors were shown internal data that indicated fan satisfaction with Ticketmaster had dropped from 18 percent in 2021 to 1 percent in 2023." Zoinks www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/a...

The thing that's interesting to me about this bill after reading the contents is that it explicitly bans discriminating against people who oppose abortion and LGBTQ rights, but doesn't ban discrimination of people who support them. That sorta seems like discrimination, doesn't it?

I think that cars today are too expensive and the fact that there are no non-SUV or luxury electric cars on the U.S. market is a travesty.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

We are looking pretty good right now 🌏

Incredible footage from a United Airlines flight of the Artemis II launch.

This was a fun story to cover. I was lucky to be there to witness them catch a bobcat! www.ijpr.org/wildlife/202...

I like how they're shutting down the thing that Zuck renamed the entire company after because he was so invested in it.

This event is insane

Nominations are now open for the 2026 Hugo Awards! Emails are going out to eligible nominators (those who became a member of LAcon V by January 31, 2026, or were a member of the Seattle Worldcon 2025) about how to set up their LAcon V virtual convention account.

@ Lady Gaga, please release the Latin/Superbowl/Wedding version of Die With a Smile NOW PLEASE

Lots of Report for America journalism jobs just opened around the country, including one at my old shop @jpradio.bsky.social. It's a great place to work!

And speaking of cats...

Ok? Will... the dinosaurs be at the Olympics?

This is the exact lighting they use for the pic to accompany a profile of a professor who got suspended because he kept using slurs in class as a supposed intellectual provocation.

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social What book on the Vietnam War did you read that you mentioned in the latest If Books Could Kill episode?

Hot travel take: I think we should bring back cocaine teething tinctures for babies, but only for flights. Anything to keep them from crying.

Just bought travel insurance for my trip to Puerto Vallarta on Friday because I'm getting increasingly nervous about my flights 😬 www.npr.org/2025/11/05/n...

In hindsight it’s too bad that Y2K didn’t shut down all of the computers.

My latest story for #Medford voters: A proposed hotel tax increase would make Medford's the highest in the region, and among the top 4 in the state. It would help fund a major conference center for the city. www.ijpr.org/politics-gov...

Oct 13th - The #hackers discover that the Da Vinci virus was a distraction for a hidden worm designed to steal $25m, and the virus is going to capsize an oil fleet the next day as a distraction for the theft. 📽️📅 Hackers (1995)

Please give me more dog related stories to do because this one was so much fun 🐶🐑 @jpradio.bsky.social #publicradio #sheepdogs #bordercollie #journalism www.ijpr.org/outdoors-lei...

From @jpradio.bsky.social @romanbattaglia.com — another example of why we need reporters everywhere.

Although it's rarely expressed in outright terms, people often use a very simple heuristic when solving fashion problems: they wish to look rich, which is often disguised as "respectable." I will show you why this rarely leads to good outfits. 🧵

I'll be honest, been expecting this for months. He's definitely been less of a presence on the airwaves recently and focusing more on book + tours

Hello, I'm a journalist in a film. I will set up an elaborate cork board with pictures and string connecting the dots on my investigation. I will never be seen filing public records requests or sitting for hours listening to boring city council meetings.

Today, President Trump signed a bill into law that will eliminate $1.1B of federal funding for public media. This devastating act tipped the threat against journalism in America into a crisis. Millions depend on the NPR Network. Now, we’re counting on you. Donate here: n.pr/458sOhq

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

Finished Wind and Truth and jumped straight into a nonfiction book on the history of Sicily. The whiplash is wilddddd #booksky

Ah yes, because an exclusive article is meant to be a secret and only shown to staff at the WSJ.

This makes me sad. I wish more people read, it's the best. 📖

GOOD MORNING IT IS A GREAT DAY TO KEEP REPORTING THE NEWS

Hello just wanted to say: Public media is a useful public good. It is a source of great local news at a time when local news is being decimated. Also, in my 10 years in public media, I can say people who work here do it because they believe in the mission of informing people. Just noting.

Love how they managed to make a lounge with seating that is even more uncomfortable than the ones at the gate.

I won a first place #PMJA award for this environmental story I did last year. It's honestly one of my favorites, so happy it's got some recognition. @pmja.bsky.social @jpradio.bsky.social #PubMedia #PMJAAwards www.ijpr.org/environment-...

Ok this is what I was able to come up with. This was a bit hard but there were some pretty clear ones, including La La Land, Parasite and Spirited Away. #nyt #movies

I was gonna say this. It's not a crazy treatment to try if you have acid reflux. I have literally used Betaine HCL before and it does help, sometimes low stomach acid levels can cause reflux. The important thing is I did it with my doctor and nutritionist.

Can someone please tell me why American toilet stalls are so much worse than European ones? Like why cant floor to ceiling walls and little green/red occupied indicators be standard in every stall in the US???

2,400 year-old skeleton mosaic reads: “Be cheerful, enjoy your life” Discovered in Turkey

You know what I really don't like about food packaging in the UK (probably Europe as a whole), they only tell you the weight of the food, not how many pieces there are. If I buy a package of shortbread, how do I know if 150 grams is 4 cookies or 15?

Not sure if I've ever seen a place charge you more to eat in? I guess because they heat it up? Seems silly though. #Scotland #Travel

Went to a Trad session at a local pub last night. I lovedddd it, they were so talented and fun! And people just kept showing up, I think there were 14 musicians in the end?? A must see while in Scotland #Scotland #celticmusic #Glasgow

Pro tip for those travelling to Europe, especially the UK & Ireland. Those "travel sim cards" like Airalo are kind of a scam. Find a local mobile provider that doesn't require a local address and just get a prepaid sim card.
