To show America's commitment to free speech, I, Marco Rubio, am punishing people for their free speech. The US government is a bunch of performative 🤡s

We should have known that they’d ruin our holidays by announcing some of the most heinous shit while most people turn away from the news.

Her “North Star” is to get Steven Miller to comment? None of this makes sense unless you assume she didn’t want information in the piece to get attention. If you assume that, it makes all the sense in the world.

Perhaps we should film a debate between a concentration camp guard and an abandoned toilet over whether CECOT is good. Brought to you by Bank of America.

We can only assume this delay is for a good and normal reason

Hmmmmmmmmmm

look i'm not an "impeach the cheeto!!!!" guy but if this is in fact what happened I'm not really sure what other political response is more prudent

Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language

So happy that @trustfnd.com could be useful to one of the ten within a few months of our founding. Working that it'll be many, many more in 2026.

"This isn’t a prediction. It’s a clinical diagnosis." Amazing, important post from @delanomassey.bsky.social. It's helpful to arrive at this diagnosis to go and change stuff.

You know a thing that is very bad about this? This is the anti-trans playbook being played against women. Start with 'has the x movement failed the people it's supposed to help', then infantilize them, then make the case they can't be responsible for their own choices, then take their rights away

Just heard of a big round of layoffs at yet another journalism company. Sending love to all colleagues who are going into the new year fearing for their job. In the UK, you don't get fired, you're being put a horrifying process of being at risk of getting fired for a few weeks first.

So good

very helpful, definitive, absolutely nothing to question about it, ranking of global news organisations by the FT giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Radical right parties in Europe have not moderated. Their positions and rhetoric have entered the mainstream. They have become normalized and legitimized. Unless we understand this, we have little chance of countering their success.

and everyone is obsessed with sharing screenshots of this shit too. oh my god Scrumblo Meyer wrote a new article about wokeness in The UnCancelled, a magazine that cumulatively 400 people a year read. let's all click on it and argue

Every single one of the creators of these magazines is a legacy brand person who’s Very Worried about echo chambers.

there a trillion magazines now called like ThoughtThink. Unsaid. CensoredMedia. The Believer. CrossingLines. The New Principles Of Thought Project. and every single one has written the same article a million times over that is just "i had to take a diversity training at work and it was annoying"

This is crazy

… among some transgender campaigners’, twice. The idea that trans ppl can’t use public facilities has caused fear & worry amongst >all< UK trans & non-binary ppl. The BBC is treating trans ppl as if they are a political party. They are not. This is a common propaganda tool of far right media.

I spent years professionally trying to judge the newsworthiness of events. The sad truth - events are judged in a totally different way if they happen to rich people. We should fight that.

Climate accountability journalism is stronger when newsrooms work together. Floodlight and five other members of the Climate News Task Force have built a single signup page so readers can get updates from all of us. One form, multiple trusted sources 👇

And this is *why* you don't just do things for the sake of it in a newsroom

WaPo’s new AI podcasts are a classic example of “doing something for the sake of it” It’s clearly been designed to tick “innovate” and “integrate AI into the newsroom” boxes set by management, rather than being led by gaps in your product offering, or reader demand, as Dave shows here

The X product chief asking journalists to come back to X is the most predictable thing. Places without good journalists are shitty places for most.

Ten minutes in, bawling

This thread has led to the hiring of both a longform and shortform video editor and I couldn't be more excited! If you like @cancelmedaddy.bsky.social, now is the best time to subscribe to the show's Patreon! patreon.com/cancelmedaddy

I don't know the answer, but I doubt that the media rebranding the far right as the "populist right" is going to stop them.

Collaboration, not cutthroat competition, is the only way forward if we want independent journalism to survive authoritarianism. Thank you @jarjour.bsky.social @trustfnd.com @sciencewriting.bsky.social for providing technical and infrastructural support!

If you want feminist takes on pop culture and politics, I recommend, @kattenbarge.bsky.social has a discount going.

NEW — I put together a list of independent journalism subscriptions that would make great holiday gifts. From music to politics, astronomy to alcohol, tech to social justice, there’s something for [almost] everyone. Support indie media *and* surprise and delight your loved ones! My guide:

Fuck you of you think trans rights should be sacrificed "for the good of democracy". The anti democracy machine is the anti-trans machine. Get that through your skulls.

I wonder how much Ofcom’s failure to use even the limited powers it has against Twitter is based on concern that it would be quite revealing when Musk just ignores any ruling.

Not a single lie detected

Couldn’t be more grateful for being appointed to the board of Republik magazine. @republik.ch is a young Swiss journalism institution that is ready for the turbulent moment we're in. It literally can’t be bought thanks to its unique setup. Work starts soon and I’m so excited to get started.

Man kann noch lange Medienkompetenz und Nachrichtendepriviertheit für sinkendes Vertrauen in Journalismus verantwortlich machen, wenn sich solche Dinge geleistet werden.

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss: It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!! www.burnsnotice.com/that-viral-e...

it’s fun watching people see what trans folks have been warning of for years. the media has no capacity to inform about the politicization of health care
