Reactionary crank with an axe to grind who gained air time for bungling a study years ago is now writing op eds for the most powerful newspaper in the western world because media literacy is in her flop era and faith in legacy institutions is collapsing? Fork found in kitchen

I read Newsom’s memoir www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.

i’m very proud of @theverge.com’s ongoing minneapolis coverage. i’m insanely lucky to work somewhere that takes immigration reporting seriously and did so even before trump’s reelection. we took many different approaches to DHS’s operation in MN, maybe they’re not all to your taste. that’s okay!

Gaby del Valle is one of the best reporters I know and the attacks against her on here are not only shocking in their violence and bigotry but also incredibly bad-faith and utterly without merit.

Surest way to get your email deleted or catch a block is to start with “Ms. Russell, why didn’t you do xyz—“

“Looksmaxxers” are losers and freaks, but we let them steer the culture when we adopt their terminology.

it's really not fun to have people who get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year debate your humanity and how "far" your rights went when all you wanted to do was build a better life for yourself.

"The Shadow President," @andykroll.bsky.social's deep dive into Russell Vought, has just won a George Polk award for political reporting. The piece chronicles Vought’s rise from the Senate mailroom to his position as one of the most influential players in the Trump administration. Read it here:

New at PB: Sophie Lewis (@reproutopia.bsky.social) reviews Davey Davis‘s “Casanova 20” (@catapultbooks.bsky.social) and Grace Byron’s “Herculine,” two novels that—however different—both “quietly exalt real friends above other conceptualizations of love.”

at risk of sounding annoying, it was very, very cool to be asked to contribute to the BP Annual. kinda pinching myself at having my writing included alongside a stacked list of writers that I admire an insane amount. big thank you to @baseballprospectus.com, go buy the book folks.

Will Lewis’s exit is long overdue. His legacy will be the attempted destruction of a great American journalism institution. But it's not too late to save The Post. Jeff Bezos must immediately rescind these layoffs or sell the paper to someone willing to invest in its future.

This @bostonreview.bsky.social piece by @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social is an absolute must-read, as are many of the responses to it. Spread this one far and wide.

He started a rumor that he’d leave the bucks, then people spent millions betting on it. Suddenly he comes out as a Kalshi owner. Honestly the NBA should sanction him, this is so corrupt

fighting with an insurers truly makes you value Our American Freedoms doesn’t it

imagine having one of the best tech reporters of all time on your staff and then choosing to lay them off

Newsom’s people declined to give local press a copy of his memoir, but my colleague @andrewgraham88.bsky.social did a great job working around that: www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

I may not be worth $252 billion dollars or even a million dollars but I do have every strand of my original hair on my head and don’t look like a human cue ball while being the most hated man in American business today, so that’s something

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

i'm all for it, but not hopeful, bc a) there just demonstrably aren't too many ppl w/ the necessary wealth who value an independent press enough to part w/ it, and b) even when they do, they eventually get tired of waiting for journalism to "solve" things (ie, a "return" on their "investment")

Draymond Green on possibility that was his last game with the Warriors: “If it ends, what a f****** run it has been.” He said he would not be “upset” if they trade him “if that’s what’s best for this organization.”

About 60% of The Sacramento Bee’s reporters and photojournalists are white. But if you look at the pool of local reporters whose wages are so low they qualify for low-income housing, the ratio is flipped: 63% are people of color. Management offered a deal that would leave most of them low-income.

McClatchy wants you to invest in a Sacramento Bee subscription, but the company doesn’t want to invest in its reporters. Under management’s latest offer, seven local journalists would still make salaries low enough to qualify them for low-income housing.

Rest in peace to one of the great bloggers and the de facto mayor of Philadelphia. It was my honor and pleasure to work with him. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

Should note, via the conservative Washington Examiner, that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski have tried to push out CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott in favor of Greg Bovino. Scott voiced concerns about the approach the duo has taken to enforce immigration laws. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/investi...

37 year old white male citizen with a lawful permit to carry a firearm, says the Minneapolis Police Department.

Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

Local police and federal agents are on a collision course in Minnesota—and it could be the start of a broader rupture, @toluseo.bsky.social reports:
