The problem with this article is that the media hasn't been very empathetic here. This isn't a case of "white man kills family" and the photo is him jet skiing. The media has actually been trying pretty hard to shame everyone who is being empathetic to him. The empathy is coming from social media.

Evergreen

What we are talking about here is probably the biggest and most deadly drug crime spree in modern history, and U.S. officials, prosecutors, and police have chosen to immunize almost every wealthy/powerful person involved from criminal liability.

It's only a snapshot but today there was no mention of Gaza on the online front pages of NYT, WSJ, WaPo, LATimes, USAToday, CNN & MSNBC. I wrote about the pivot from bad Gaza coverage to ignoring Gaza and how normalizing genocide is part of Israel's media strategy. www.columnblog.com/p/as-genocid...

there’s a type of somewhat novel but ultimately stupid political argument that is designed specifically to appeal to the “whoa dude” lobe of a 15 year-old’s brain and those arguments work on online conservatives every time

Counterpoint: Do

Amnesty International this week confirmed what many others have already said: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. But the report goes to many lengths to prove one critical element in the case against Israel: that the genocide is fully intentional. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/12/israels-genocide…

"The ‘moderates’ got *their* candidate in every single election in which the Republicans nominated Trump: 2016 Clinton, 2020 Biden, 2024 Harris… and they lost to Trump two out of three times. And now they’re going to blame *the left* for that? No f*cking way." My rant:

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network. I blogged about it here:

Today marks 300 days since Israeli forces killed 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family members, and the medics sent to save her in Gaza. For months, I have pressed the US government again and again on the killing. How they’ve responded is shocking. Watch all 300 days here: zeteo.com/p/300-days-a...

My favorite way to fine-tune transitions is to build a set of sliders into a prototype to tweak timing parameters on device, as you're using it.

🚨NEW: Real-talk answers to big questions about how Dems alienated the working class & lost what they called the most important election in U.S. history. Dems pretended they can both enrich donors & help voters - an incoherence creating prime conditions for Trump.

If we’re going to talk about the cost of scaling a federated social media network due to network traffic costs, then we need to start with first principles: What are the true origins of cost in a social network? What are the fundamental value props to users of centralization and propagation?
