New: CNN decided against airing a potential segment interviewing Mark Ruffalo over his advocacy against the Paramount/WBD merger. A producer privately said there were “legal considerations around what we can and cannot cover or say while the merger is ongoing.” www.semafor.com/article/04/1...

Hearing him say hits even harder than just reading about it. Mansplaining Final Boss

Hey, we've hit the big time. therecord.media/russia-crack...

We're getting closer to release Bundle Passes for everyone on Trustfnd. If you're thinking about offering a Bundle Pass to convert more followers into subscribers — vet your potential collaborators with our new Overlap tool: trustfnd.com/overlap

Love that Bsky COO shows interest in news discovery. Our industry should lean into ATProtocol *heavily*

Huge news! I'm teaming up with Lucy Werner from Hype Yourself to release the Business Underdog Bundle. We're bundling our paid subscriptions so it's 2-for-1 for one week starting May 12th. Existing subscribers can participate too. cc @trustfnd.com www.revenuerulebreaker.com/coming-soon-...

This will be a great deal for everyone who runs a creator business. I've admired the work @lexroman.com does for the indie journalism community for a long time and I'm thrilled that this bundle pass will exist soon. This Bundle Pass lasts for a *full year*!

Don't worry, women won't pollute your timeline on X.

I'm getting previews of the coolest Bundle Pass collaborations. Get ready to support more creators you trust (and save a bit of money doing it).

I've made a starter pack to try to reinvest Bluesky properly, in my new (additional) field. Suggest more historians please! Academic, public, popular, I don't discriminate (neither should you) go.bsky.app/DUzx7sk

Ever wondered if you share a ton of followers with a competitor?

For some businesses you just *know exactly* what the founders look like... This is one of them

This has been so fun! And like all fun things, it's ending... Grab a bundle pass while you can

Tik tok tik tok tik tok

the impossible is always possible.

Hungary. Wow

Oh my god it's really happening. This is beautiful.

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

Who will try to challenge the aggressively charmless and transparently unelectable JD Vance for the Republican nomination and how damaging will the ensuing infighting be to the party?

JD Vance, come campaign in Georgia!

i hope the white house sends vance to campaign for Reform in britain

Everything JD Vance touches dies. Popes, peace deals, fascist elections….

boom

damn about to be cancelled / arrested

adVENNture awaits...

If you bring that video here, I will block you immediately. That is all.

This administration is the most openly racist administration since Wilson invited the KKK to the White House.

Running with those 'huge scoops' is a sure-fire way of making sure nobody knows what's going on, ever.

Not only is X a toxic hellscape that's bad for your brand, it also doesn't make any sense when you look at the metrics. Only the worst bubbles up, so unless you're posting the worst, focus on other venues that are significantly more productive for you.

AFP: "Paris hints at the possibility of reconsidering the European Union’s agreement with Israel due to its “disproportionate” strikes in Lebanon" Take your fucking time

I think my marketing strategy for Trustfnd is just “Millenial”

Obsessed with this talk

We’re living under a racist fascist kleptocracy and @nytimes.com is asking the hard hitting journalistic questions.

In Berlin, everyone’s drinking beer in the subway home from work. That’s all.

Vermutlich bisschen underhyped: Die News, dass eine Firma jetzt ein Werkzeug hat, um jedes Betriebssystem und jeden Browser zu hacken. red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-...

Did you hear the story of the one man $1.8 billion business built by AI as portrayed in the @nytimes.com? Turns out basically every aspect of that story is bullshit and the story should be retracted.

I don’t know how Trump voters can live with themselves, I really don’t.

Seriously I want scarlet letters for any “journalist” that attends the correspondents’ dinner. Name and shame, for eternity

I don't know what's more upsetting: Bier's stupidity or Silver's willful ignorance.

"When only .1% of people on our platform can derive value from the content" The absolute idiocy of this man.

🧵 Democracy feels like it's in a rough state at the moment across the globe, and we hear various explanations, like polarisation, extremism, disinformation, and loss of trust. But what if those explanations are mainly symptoms and we've been trying to treat them rather than the underlying causes?

Spent 44B for people to listen to him

Ok, this absolute legend I’ve followed for 1000 years, @lexroman.com, wrote the best guide on how to make the most of @trustfnd.com They have a subscription which should pay for itself through more effective money making.

Just awesome: "I started [last] year with 450 paid subscribers and begged, discounted, and cajoled my way into more than doubling that number [...] That was growth of 550 new paid subscribers. With the Indie Media Bundle, we have sold about 520 new subscriptions in about a week. Incredible."

One thing I love about indie journalists is their transparency about their income, their growth numbers, etc. Here's Katelyn's deep dive into how that first Bundle Pass promotion went (spoiler: went exceptionally well)
