Strangelove Miller: I know! We'll bomb boats!! "Officials": What if we just bomb fake boats? Strangelove Miller: I want real boats!!

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

Cancel culture warriors should be up in arms over a college student demanding that a college instructor be fired because she taught things the student found offensive, but as I discuss in my new essay, Little Fascists Everywhere, their outrage is highly selective: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Ginny has decided my grandmother is an easy mark.

This is the correct use of Orwellian. The doublethink would almost be comical if not for the horror of what is happening. It is quite literally, “War is peace.”

Like, I read this article a couple of times to make sure I did not miss anything. They are telling a US permanent resident, who lives in the United States, that he cannot travel to the United States. For no alleged crime, merely for factual speech.

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty: My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media. Huh? When did I say that?!

Funny thing when she mentions trust in news media… research shows that while people will say they distrust “the news media,” when asked about specific news outlets, their trust increases. In Pew’s 2025 and 2019 surveys, CBS was doing better than a number of other news outlets. 1/

My quick and dirty thoughts on Trump's short-sighted, stupid, and self-defeating ban on foreign made drones. Banning foreign drones won't make us safer. Instead, it'll encourage people to build their own drones - which are way harder to track and to control.

This works if you want to watch the 60 Minutes CECOT piece. It’s a recording of a tv, but that might be the only option at the moment, and it doesn’t detract from the excellent reporting. Thanks to @jasonparis.bsky.social for quick thinking on recording!

OK I've watched it. One key piece that hasn't been discussed: DHS didn't just decline to comment, they explicitly referred all questions to El Salvador.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

Someone is getting into mischief in my amma’s backyard. Using her Jedi mind tricks, “No, this is not dirt you see on my nose.”

This interview @nberlat.bsky.social did with Corinne Low about the choices women face in marriage and the workplace is super interesting. “Because we can’t just keep trying harder in a system that’s failing us, or in a system where women are at such a disadvantage compared to their male colleagues.”

I have never, once in my career, heard of a news org responding to a decline-to-comment with, “Well, we’ll hold it until you do.” The reason is obvious — it gives the subject of your story a pocket veto.

"Before Trump, these conflicts mostly occurred backstage and informally, allowing the broadcasters to sidestep the damage to their credibility should any surrender to White House administrations be made public." How the ABC + CBS settlements caused this. theconversation.com/abcs-and-cbs...

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years. It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

This is city council meeting gold. Definitely laughed out loud when he got to the slippery slope end of ice fishing.

This piece by Leland Nally was published by @motherjones.com in 2020. I finally read it this summer but wish I read it much sooner. It illuminates so much about Epstein’s circle that helps make sense of the pictures of celebrities and intellectuals being released. BTW, it’s a very long read.

Nothing more American than "medical setbacks" forcing a school counselor and her children into: eviction, ruined credit, homelessness, and paying nearly $3,000/month for a cramped extended-stay hotel room. www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

lol @jamditis.bsky.social with a plea "I’ve already counted at least nine Nieman predictions this year that talk about AI. I think we’d see a much more substantive transformation in journalism if we started by simply learning how to use our computers." www.niemanlab.org/2025/12/plea...

I don't think it's fully appreciated, just how much the sudden end of ~two centuries of extensive and reasonably straightforward daily reporting on every neighborhood/town/city in the US, in a standardized and searchable format, is going to screw up future historical research.

Furthermore, it's important for journalists to spend the first 10 years of their career in the type of city that people turn their noses up at. Not only does it give you a better appreciation for what journalism is for, it forces you to understand that "real Americans" aren't just Ohio Cletuses.
