And the Buffalo chooses the NPS tourist.

News outlets treating prediction markets like news are traitors to their mission and communities.

Spent my 4th enjoying our public lands in Pisgah National Forest. It’s one of the greatest gifts America has given its people.

BRB, gotta publish to @poynterinstitute.bsky.social without an editor.

Seeing more and more FB Marketplace car and motorcycle ads suddenly appear with AI-generated women in the stereotypical bikini/daisy dukes type dress. This is some Grade-A loser behavior.

Should you stay or leave journalism? It's a question that's coming up a lot lately with consolidation, reduction and owner influence on the rise. @mgg.bsky.social and I teamed up to answer some tough questions we're hearing lately at @poynterinstitute.bsky.social. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

I have a 2002 4Runner, 2013 GTI and a 2014 motorcycle and LOVE cars, but can't imagine ever buying a new one. Prices are simply jaw-droopingly stupid. The 4Runner is a Ship of Theseus situation. It will eventually be a new car with the work I put into it. apple.news/A4UujMC80Q6G...

What's the over/under no how long it takes for someone to be fired for a leaked group chat? Next week? Tomorrow?

If ChatGPT and Visa want to start delivering vintage BMW 635CSIs and parts to my door that's fine. It will have to use someone else's bank account, but I find this an acceptable use case.

Loving the new Social D album, because it sounds like every other Social D album and I need that kind of consistency in my life . . . but we can stop with the Wicked Game covers now. We've heard enough of them. open.spotify.com/album/1Ln4Uh...

This is deeply unsettling.

@oliviamesser.bsky.social (and anyone else) Don’t let these sadists make you watch: Dancer in the Dark Grave of the Fireflies Dear Zachary These are all pretty life-altering depressing once-in-a-lifetime views.

Almost two years and I still can't publicly speak to public radio stations without mentioning what @blueridgepublic.bsky.social meant to Asheville during Helene without tearing up. It was such a delight to work with Reno's KUNR this week and lead their retreat.

AVL>ORD>DFW>RNO. Taking the long way this morning.

Led some project training and got this review "Tony has a talent for translating managerial lingo/structures into digestible words and models. " That is a far cry from how I started out 15 years ago. Just do these 2 things. - Explain acronyms to people - Speak like a human, not a tech bro

The US government has a long history of bison removal from the Great Plains.

Not ominous at all that I woke up this morning with this song in my head and it won't leave. Happy Monday everyone. youtu.be/WVe-9VWIcCo?...

No. You need websites that are designed to serve human readers, quality, authenticity and trust not commodified programmatic scale. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

I do wish it was better understood by now—especially by folks in the media—that these "warnings" from large AI corporations in fact function as "advertisements" www.axios.com/2025/04/22/a...

More of this please.

I feel like this is the "I'm ok, but my discretionary income has damn near vanished and things are not as fun" class.

It really is just a compliment machine, made by and for guys who weren't getting compliments anymore.

I’ve said it before, but as a kid/teen of the 80s, I really miss Peter Jennings.

30 yrs aftr Norman Finkelstein wrote this article, “First the Cherokee, now the Palestinian,” nothing has changed. Current Affairs re-released the essay, which shows the similarities between tactics used against my Cherokee ancestors & Palestinians today.

Thought this said SCREAMING instead of streaming and thought, how could you not this week? Anyway, dyslexia is fun and this is why I reread everything.

Just saw over on Instagram that @firestorm.coop, a really awesome worker-owned radical bookstore and mutual aid hub in Asheville, NC, is struggling financially and needs support to stay open. I highly recommend buying books from them, and becoming a sustainer on Patreon if you can!

wow, looks like a rough patch for stocks AND bondis

Man…when I was coming up as an investigative reporter at Fortune, the writing and editing process was grueling (and rewarding!). What an embarrassment this is for a brand that meant so much to us.

Happy new music from @deadpioneers.bsky.social day to all who celebrate. #indigenouspunkrock

There are dozens of us

L’Oréal. Because he’s worth it.

No.

ICYMI: My wife wrestles with the option of being informed, but traumatized. But for journalists like me, it's our job to stay plugged in. How can we learn to cope with an exhausting 24-second news cycle? www.poynter.org/business-wor...

🆕 New from me this morning on @poynterinstitute.bsky.social Is there a responsible news diet for journalists to keep our sanity? Or, should you stay off the news for a while? Here's some ways Poynter journalists are managing their media intake. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

The amount of gambling ads I hear is ridiculous. Just another way to move wealth to the tech ruling class.

But seriously, how fucking dumb do you have to be to run a dark money influence op on a professional influence op researcher and her influence op former reporter boyfriend? Just insane dummies. Vote Kat and she'll out this shit in Congress constantly.

I completely empathize with him, I need a year to recover from reading anything about Morrissey.

@404media.co is doing incredible journalism and I should see if I can get them to pay for my blood pressure medication since every post they make spikes it.

Poynter leadership alums know I mention Parkinson’s law several times throughout the week. Might have to add this.

I am so excited to announce the First America Indigenous Futures Writing Workshop Series as part of a project I’ve been working on for the past year. Applications due by March 31, apply soon, and please share with any Indigenous youth that you know! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

New on Poynter: A better approach to AI content. Paying for product. What a novel concept. "But If I have to pay I can't operate," is probably the tech response in a lot of cases. To that I say, maybe you shouldn't exist then.

The amount of media/journalism people in my feed reposting the Fugazi/Albini mix is higher than I thought it would be. Journalism definitely attracts a certain kind of person.

Stop literally everything. Steve Albini's Fugazi sessions, widely bootlegged and full of lore, now available officially for the first time. fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini...

The world is on fire, but we have a new Metric single, so maybe it’s not so terrible.

At least once a week I read something that absolutely turns my stomach. This is it for now. I can't imagine myself participating in something so awful and so very disappointed it exists.

I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

Rarely say this, but stop what you're doing and read this. Powerful words. Thank you for sharing. My wife lost both her parents in her late 20s and there's just so little resources for, as you said perfectly, just being an adult.

What happens when you speak for a bit too long at a city council meeting in opposition to a data center being built in your town? In Claremore, Oklahoma, a man was arrested and charged with trespassing. Story by @mjgault.bsky.social here: www.404media.co/man-opposing...
