I am a huge fan of the concept of public media, but federal funding has been a cudgel used to bash NPR. This has made them scared of Republican critics, which in my opinion, diminished the quality of NPR. This new environment might get them to take the gloves off.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post. I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing. Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner. karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Fascinating historical comparison over time of the world's most dominant companies

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

So now a cup of coffee in the US is $5? Also, got two smoothies, a burrito and veggie burger for $60!

A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

Are white rural voters, white men and billionaires the only voters who can be "alienated?"

I cannot believe I have to explain this but just FYI, Indian muslims are not arabs

I've written a very short intro to ecomedia literacy. If you're not familiar with it, please have a look. media-and-learning.eu/subject/medi...

This is in my media lit wheelhouse. Been shouting this for years. Please folks, gotta focus on climate disinformation. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This makes me so mad. Los Doyers could do better.

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

Elon Musk is choking a black community with air pollution to run a racist chatbot on a right-wing social media site. The next phase will double the gas turbines. A short vid on a dataset I found showing the scale of this problem Part 1 below, or full on YT here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrQC...

Now this is getting interesting... California investigating Paramount for bribery scheme. www.semafor.com/article/05/3...

Interesting story about how the climate crisis impacts rum production in Cuba www.theguardian.com/business/202...

"The chatbot’s instructions tell it to “de-emphasize the climate catastrophe narrative,” to focus on “real pollution, not CO2.” The bot is told to frame these arguments in the most reasonable possible way" "chatbots are useless" is wrong. They're very, very useful, for a certain kind of person:

Sadly I'm convinced social security funds will be converted to crypto and then they'll do a massive rug pull. It will be the greatest heist in world history.

I said a thing (only 9 minutes) “If you trash the environment, you're actually trashing yourself.”�🌿 This week on EAVI Conversations, Prof. Antonio López shares why tech, policy, and mindset shifts are all part of the solution. youtu.be/flFNJt0iVYc?...

The linked article has a good, nuanced discussion of the term "global south," which i have struggled with in my own writing.

The Silvio Berlusconi model: turn government into a reality tv show

Pam Bondi lobbied for Qatar & a private prison company, got paid $115K/month, then failed to disclose it during her AG confirmation. Now she’s gutted foreign lobbying enforcement under FARA and signed off on $400m planes. The corruption isn’t even subtle anymore.

As a Dodgers fan I've always been bothered by fossil fuel sponsorship. Good for @sammyroth.bsky.social for covering this.

I had similar thoughts when I saw the interview

"...these two massive reports discover that the one group on campus — whether we are talking about faculty, students, or staff — that most consistently feels nervous about expressing its views and most consistently feels physically unsafe on campus are … Muslims."

Did Trump write this post? WTF is going on with NOAA

This is next level AI fuckary www.404media.co/this-college...

Sadism is the point. Shame on all the "light workers" endorsing Trump. Christians who support this don't get a pass either. Or anyone else for that matter. www.yahoo.com/news/why-tru...

The proposal will facilitate an operation that would handle the logistics of gathering “100,000 of the worst criminal offenders” from U.S. prisons, holding them at a 10,000-person detention camp and flying them to El Salvador. What could possibly go wrong?

Anyone here old enough to remember the US' role in supporting and training Salvadoran death squads in the 1980s? Seems like that's been memory holed.

Can't wait to see how "freedom" cities full of sociopathic libertarians turn out. Good luck with that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Every once in a while I dip my toe into the Magaverse to see if I can engage in some meaningful dialog. But let me tell you, they are so triggered by my anti-Nazi symbol. Makes one wonder why.

Well worth reading

We already have a lot to be pissed about, but long term we need to transform our infrastructure and supply chains to not reproduce violence and inequities, especially when it comes to green tech. youtu.be/xUckRkuRCLM?...
