"AI, you dumbass"

So...next year, anyone want to team up for an empirical project on enforcement of the Take It Down Act? I think we'll have some exciting source material to work with.

This thread now contains more than 30 fact-checks, and only represents a fraction of the debunking and verification work our global @factcheck.afp.com team has done around World Cup misinformation.

Hard to imagine that it’s been 19 years today. Feels like we are just getting to the good stuff. I am still in love with @ohtheprofanity.com, and I am relatively sure she feels the same.

This is a really moving and thoughtful interview

OK sure, great, but I don't that helps much. He's 80 years old, woefully out of shape, and probably doesn't even know the rules.

The T-shirt I want. Anyone else feel this way? (Designed by me in like 5 minutes...)

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

AI is popular with authoritarians because their truth claims are too far from reality to be otherwise depicted.

Happy Father's Day to this guy -- the only guy I know whose hair got longer during chemo. He kicked cancer's ass this year. I'm excited to continue provide remote tech support for him for many years to come.

I don't care what the lyrics websites say. "Whoa, it's Phil!" is definitely part of the lyrics to "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Happy Father's Day! Here's some art from a vasectomy brochure.

New piece I wrote about what I have learned about courage in journalism and why Pelley moved me as much as it did. brizzyc.medium.com/take-this-ne...

This fills me with hope.

When will the LA teams get theirs? Feels like it’s been so long…

My seat at @citruscollege.bsky.social graduation is right on the 25-yard line. But I’m not sure how that’s possible because, if I’m reading this right, it’s 2nd and 26… (Hit me with your best football/graduation puns.)

I got to make multiple Beavis and Butt-head spreadsheets. Yes, you read that right.

After an elementary school teacher was sentenced for sexually abusing students, @kqednews.kqed.org reporter Holly McDede started requesting public records about teacher misconduct. It’s something anyone can do if you just know where to look, she writes.

::taps sign:: First they came for the journalists. We don't know what happened after that.

The World Cup will be one incident like this after another. Curious if the IOC will take note and do something about the 2028 Summer Olympics or just pull the ostrich move and claim ignorance.

As close to breaking news as we will ever get. And it’s short. 🙃

Go fast. Break things. Fly.

the fuck it will

We are doomed. They built confirmation bias machines.

Imagine any other industry in which information is the most valuable product treating it with such contempt. Just willful stupidity.

Sharing so I can remember to show this to my students as an example of poor infographic design. Percent change is one number, not two… so what is this chart measuring? #dataviz

Deep cuts only

As a sports fan and a word nerd, this damn near brought me to tears.

The @pressfreedomtracker.us has recorded nearly 200 LAPD press freedom violations involving journalists. On May Day, reporters were handcuffed and struck with batons. With the World Cup coming to LA, FPF's @adamrose.bsky.social challenged LAPD to prevent an international incident. Watch ⬇️

Timeline cleanse. I was in the natures today and videoed some video.

Watch Beavis and Butt-head long enough and you’ll begin to see the pair of misfits acting, well, adorable. New episode, out now wherever you get your podcasts, highlights some of our faves. (And, hey, Beavis stans and Butt-head stans: We get it now!)

The extortionist hacker group ShinyHunters has targeted colleges and universities before. Now it's going after the ed- tech giant Instructure, which makes the widely-used learning management system Canvas. @kathrynpalmer.bsky.social has the story: www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

WTF, NYer. "If we agree that college primarily serves a credentialling process that stamps select young people as worthy of work..." We do not. So much for the bastion of erudite journalism. This is sensationalism, damaging our most vital institution: education. www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...

Now do stocks.

Sadly, technology has ruined the fun of prank calls, ding dong ditch, and quite a few other adventures #BeavisandButtHead went on in the '90s. Plus, we give a shout out to radio.garden/listen

I’m not proud of what I did. I’m ecstatic.

Trump tomorrow be like “ahh my neck!”
