I love how we undisputedly consider @joybella.blacksky.app as our optimal genius. I just wanna add that she’s the funniest person on this app, which, yknow, mutual exclusivity, so it tracks.

Did everyone survive the 80 degree temperatures in their elderly relative’s homes today?

They said 🤺🤺

You shouldn’t be here. Relax. Read a book. Take a nap. Eat some food. No one’s paying attention to anything.

They lie. They always lie.

Dreamgirls is a Christmas movie. Pass it along. Turn the wigs around.

NEW — Chicago’s 2026 budget cycle ended today. This conversation between TRiiBE EIC Tiffany Walden and organizer Asha Ransby-Sporn helped us unpack some news gaps when it comes to covering grassroots organizing in Chicago. Join RESHAPE to read. thetriibe.com/reshape/chic...

One of the things I appreciate about this account is how thoroughly they cite their sources amidst a feed filled with article screenshots that don't even tell you what publication you're reading much less the author.

Before Bari Weiss pulled the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, @propublica.org @texastribune.org & a team of Venezuelan journalists compiled a first-of-its-kind, case-by-case accounting of 238 Venezuelan men who were held in El Salvador. Read their stories here: projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-i...

You might question her methods, but credit to Bari Weiss: her leadership has pushed 60 Minutes into new formats and attracted a bunch of new viewership outside the normal broadcast audience.

Wait is this the way we get people engaged in journalism

WATCH: Here's the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" last night

"Black and brown communities are turned into 'sacrifice zones.'" "It's all by design. Powered by colonialism, extractivism, and industrial-scale theft." "If you are going to come in to my community, and you are going to harm my neighbors, fuck off." #USA #Climate #Protest #Technology

Olive Oyl:

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

good news folks! bsky.app/profile/tedd...

It’s interesting who got called welfare queens (poor Black women) vs. who actually were (wealthy white men)

Never forget this @propublica.org story www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Is very good

"We really have to this paradigm shift, where we think of our news media, especially local journalism, the same way that we think of public education, libraries, public parks. There are these public goods that we would never leave entirely up to the market," says @victorpickard.bsky.social.

"The newspaper industry served as a feeder for our entire news media ecosystem. So when we lose those newspapers, we've lost that journalism. In the early 2000s, we had 40 journalists per 100,000 people. We're now down to 8 journalists per 100,000 people," says @victorpickard.bsky.social.

You'll probably recognize your faves in my top ten, including @joyurcaba.bsky.social, @oriion.bsky.social, @transvestigations.bsky.social (from @erininthemorning.com), and @hencarnell.bsky.social. And in the bottom five you'll find @theatlantic.com, @nytimes.com, and @wsj.com of course.
