A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

I may just be a simple country hooftrimming video watcher, but I think it's time we raise America's hoof, pare away the separated horn until we reach the infected area, spray it with a powerful cleansing agent, and place a salicylic acid wrap on the foot so we can begin to heal

PSA from 404 Media: you can opt-out of a data broker selling your flight travel data to the government to be searched without a warrant. Here's how I did it. This is ARC, the data broker owned by major U.S. airlines like United, Delta, American, etc www.404media.co/how-to-opt-o...

what a tremendous loss—Lex’s leadership and commitment to taking risks and doing right by people with less power is so rare, and frankly, this way of working is no longer being resourced at the scale we desperately need

Yesterday, the Associated Press published a story about anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers that illustrates perfectly how traditional notions of journalistic objectivity and “both sides” coverage fail to meet the current moment—and even facilitate the spread of disinformation.

and I made a "Vampire BBS" for the official Blade (1998) site which was just a short Perl CGI script. A couple met on that forum and got married!

For example I made a shockwave game for the official Lost In Space (1998) site where you flew a spaceship around and killed all the cast members!

See this July story from NPR by @bobbyallyn.bsky.social and @shannonbond.bsky.social; also, note that, in that article, they identified the account on the left as AI-generated, the person in the embedded video thinks it's the one on the right. Maybe it's both! www.npr.org/2025/07/10/n...

NEW: By inflating numbers and narrowing definitions, the Heritage Foundation is promoting a false link between transgender identity and violence in a push for the FBI to create a new category of terrorism. By me & @couts.bsky.social:

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Once again, 404 Media is very much worth supporting monetarily with a subscription. If you cancelled Disney+ or Hulu, maybe toss some of that money their way (and you'll still have a lot left over!)

Service journalism so nice, the DMV helped itself to the idea!

CARE Court made big promises to get the sickest Californians off the street. But nearly two years after it rolled out in the first counties, it's helping far fewer people than anticipated We asked for data from every county in California. Here's what we found @calmatters.org tinyurl.com/bddh39c7

This is a damning report on the state of public data about deaths in law enforcement custody www.themarshallproject.org/2025/08/07/d...

We’ve launched a database with about 1.5 million pages of once-secret records detailing when law enforcement officers in California seriously injured someone or an agency found an officer violated policy with @kqednews.kqed.org, @sfchronicle.com @latimes.com @calmatters.org 1/
