On KPBS Midday Edition, reporter @journogoose.bsky.social and I discuss our reporting on DHS' wild ICE recruiting strategy www.kpbs.org/podcasts/kpb...

Pronoun Summit

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

The war comes home

I'll never forgive them for making people care about late night tv again

The war comes home

seeing a lot of liberal posts showing images of the troops storming the beach at Normandy etc... calling them "antifa." understand the sentiment, but always grateful for @jamesstout.bsky.social addressing how that's not what we mean when we talk about antifa! www.smithsonianmag.com/history/brie...

And people say Bluesky is full of humorless scolds

Comedy's legal again, T.

The answer to this dumb question is NO

Madness

there's got to be a German word for how it feels scrolling through DHS' twitter posts

Sometimes I feel like we're living in a Paul Verhoeven movie. DHS Shared this on X Tuesday

This didn't make the story (since piece was focused on AI), but there was a part of the meeting where an X leader said the platform had its most daily U.S. downloads ever on Thursday, leading to great applause from workers. (That was the day of the Charlie Kirk murder. Below is the transcript.)

I'll never get over how extremely normal this is now

Headlines on the Bloomberg Terminal from Air Force One: *TRUMP: TV LICENSES SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY IF BAD PUBLICITY FOR ME *TRUMP: IF TV SHOWS 'HIT TRUMP' SHOULD BE DISCUSSED ON LICENSES *TRUMP ON TV SHOWS CRITICIZING HIM: THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO

Miller told the employee at the front desk that Franklin was a “good boy” and “very nice,” ... but Franklin was euthanized right away — likely while Miller was still standing at the front desk, KPBS found. Borrelli was the supervisor who signed off on the euthanasia.

The whole point of having bylines on stories is accountability to your readers. Using AI to write and then not disclosing it signals to your readers that you don't really give a shit what they think. bsky.app/profile/oliv...

We complain about algorithms but since yesterday my TikTok is fully 50% clips of the Georgia Southern marching band during their visit to Fresno State and I gotta say I appreciate that

Can't believe people complain about Bluesky content when TikTok is full of Charlie Kirk / LeBron James fancams

When you were partying, I studied Soyjaks. When you were having premarital sex, I mastered the Chans. While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity, I cultivated Pepes. And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate, you have the audacity to opine on Groyper memes?

This is the Groyper playlist on Spotify, which includes “Bella Ciao.” It’s a meme war. FBI and others are all taking the bait.

Guidance from the Trans Journalists Association www.transjournalists.org/tja-urges-ca...

This. A reputable news organization would not print this without providing additional detail. Again, we have a case of a major news organization abandoning basic journalistic standards when the reporting is about trans people.

This explains it better than I can

BREAKING: Conservative activist Charlie Kirk has died after being shot at an event in Utah, President Trump says.

Trump's VA Secretary Doug Collins was in San Diego yesterday and spent a good bit of time fielding questions from reporters. www.kpbs.org/news/local/2...

OK hear me out how much "Defense" does the department actually engage in

President Trump is expected to sign an executive order tomorrow giving the Defense Department a "secondary title" as the Department of War. White House officials now confirming. Looks like a way to use the title while juggling the law -- the 1947 National Security Act -- that gave DoD its name.

Between the Coastal Commission, CEQA and the Endangered Species Act I don't see this going anywhere until well into Trump's third term www.nbcsandiego.com/news/nationa...

He's right, a lot of Bluesky media criticism is basically if you don't report this stuff like your hair is on fire then you're a doormat for Trump and an accessory to fascism
