Reading @erinrwilliams.bsky.social’s “Commute” and ooof, this really hits home as an elder Millenial (aka middle-aged) woman #booksky #illustratedmemoir

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

Every time I read a story about gynecology it's always something like "doctors discovered women could experience pain in 1989 but decided not to act on this knowledge for 20 years"

The headlines have finally started really living up to the potential of our era

Super excited to share my new article in Journalism Practice on the societal/journalistic roles assumed by Documenters, freelancers, and staff affiliated with @therapidian.bsky.social! Free access for the first 50 people at: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/KUHPF... @citybureau.bsky.social

“We look brave,” said Frog. “Yes, but are we?” asked Toad.

Free link... Nearly 1 million people who bought President Trump’s memecoin have lost money through the end of June, according to a report by the cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen. Their losses total $3.81 billion. (with David Yaffe-Bellany www.nytimes.com/2026/07/04/u...

Our @abdulelsayed.bsky.social for Senate sign arrived today!

Supreme Court opinions at 10am.

Among other things, this article by @pbump.com really highlights the importance of qualitative research. I especially like how the researchers wrote up their methods conservativestudy.redassociates.com

Every American should read this book

NYT investigates US car bloat: “About 200 to 400 pedestrians a year would not have died if vehicles had remained approximately the same size over the past quarter-century. That represents about 10 percent of the recent increase in pedestrian deaths.”

“Self-driving” vehicles are not the way. It’s infuriating the amount of money being poured into this tech and that our cities are the testing grounds.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

A bit late to the #showyourstripes party, but yikes showyourstripes.info/b/northameri...

This is bad for America on many levels. Media ownership is narrative and agenda setting power.

Trump entered a war of choice with no plan for how to end it and our families paying the price.   It's beyond time Congress put an end to Trump's costly and illegal Iran War.

It’s a step!

Google's AI summary is killing traffic to our website. We're not dependent on ad money, however fewer people coming to the site means fewer donations.

It’ll be the tunnel for me when I head to Windsor tomorrow. Looking forward to one day biking across the Gordie Howe bridge (it looks beautiful), but I’m not giving my money to the Mourons

Finally getting a chance to read The AI Con by @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social on our road trip from PA to MI- already hooked after chapter 1, and thinking of ways to integrate some of these points into my teaching somehow

Great thread

Yeah, no

A different way to look at college/university rankings! The list can be filtered by state, the methodology is interesting. Happy to discover that the institution I'm joining in the fall ranks highest of all universities I've been affiliated with thus far: rankings.newsweek.com/americas-bes...

Good morning from the Ben Franklin Parkway

I have been told that certain celebrity girlboss influencers have issued a social media fatwa on this column. Therefore, I’m sharing it again because I’m just that kind of contrary.

Feed cleanse

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The issues they're *not* talking about are the ones they're really afraid of

A $45k property tax bill is bonkers - definitely not going to help more people transition to homeownership. Great reporting as usual by @amondry.bsky.social and @outliermedia.org outliermedia.org/detroit-high...

Why is mayo on everything? There are other saucy condiments that aren’t gross

Pedro Sanchez and Spain's criticism of Trump's war: "The Spanish government will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they are now showing up with a bucket of water." This is leadership and moral backbone.

Honestly the justices (particularly Justice Sotomayor) sound ... somewhat taken aback that they're even hearing this case. And ... same? Also - you didn't have to! You could have just issued a summary op saying "See the Fourteenth Amendment"! Even last year in the nationwide inujunction case!

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

If you aren’t able to participate in an in-person event, there’s a virtual option! #nokings

I spoke with @nytimes.com about today's #NoKings Day events and why the focus must be on channeling outrage into strategic action (and not meeting some magical number): “It’s not about inflatable costumes. It’s not about clever signs.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/28/u...

Are coffee shop + plant store combo businesses a Pennsylvania thing? Currently sitting in the second one I’ve come across since moving here. No complaints, it’s cool to buy pots and plants and soil after enjoying a cup of coffee- just curious?

lol

Less than one month left to submit! We are looking for studies that "delve into how journalism continues to evolve with the active involvement of 'citizens,' 'users,' 'audiences,' 'fandoms,' 'followers' and/or other types of engaged 'participants'." www.aejmc.org/aejmc-events... @aejmc.bsky.social

I typically prefer reading a physical book for fiction and listening to an audiobook for nonfiction. The exception to this is memoir- I could go either way on those, but if the author reads their own work, I might be swayed toward the audiobook version.

Since reading the @dailydetroit.bsky.social newsletter yesterday, I can't stop thinking about the implications of the perception-reality gap identified by this study for so many issues

Another reason to be skeptical about the rush to develop more data centers: AI infrastructure needs may not be as significant in the near future because of the potential shift from tools that are cloud-based to those that are device-based: open.substack.com/pub/theaugme...

"Local journalism often begins before a camera is rolling, before a live shot is framed, before a headline is written. It begins with proximity. With awareness. With someone deciding that what’s happening matters enough to go see it firsthand." Minnesota journalists are meeting the moment.

About OpenAI: “Years ago it developed a technology that was 99.9 percent accurate in detecting work generated by the company’s ChatGPT. Senior executives had internal debates about whether to let educators have access to the tool. They opted not to.” Yeah.

Universe, take the worries we carried today, quiet the overthinking, hold what feels heavy so we can rest; we release what didn’t go right, forgive what we didn’t finish, and wake up tomorrow to a clean page. Goodnight 🌙
