Was just for show, apparently.

This week's Crimes of the Centuries is part one of a two-parter on an Ohio-based cult leader I only learned about a few months ago. It's a wild case. Please check it out: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

Ahhh, yes. More of that left-wing extremist terrorism Miller’s been talking about.

This is the kind of hateful vitriol that podcasters of the non-male variety have to deal with. Look at this worthless piece of incel’s post on my friend @daisyeagan.bsky.social’s podcast Strange & Unexplained.

Doing some historical research for a project and while it's an obvious point that we all "know" in some sense, it's bracing and shocking to be reminded of just how violent a place America has been throughout its history.

Hello! Just a reminder that if you work for or contract with the federal government and have information you'd like to share securely with a @wired.com reporter, you can use a non-work device to contact me on Signal at timmarchman.01 and I can connect you to someone who covers your area.

Former AP employee here to say: This headline is bullshit.

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

A wild story by @scottwartman.bsky.social. A Cincy city council candidate who accused a congressional candidate of pulling a gun on him went on a racist, sexist tirade, saying Black women are lazy liars and he doesn’t want their vote. He’s a Black Republican. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/p...

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

Complete tools.

Quick question: What the shit is this?

Efffff this. I’m not inherently anti-AI but I’m definitely anti-whatever the hell this is.

This only happens to you once

War-ravaged Portland, 5 minutes ago

Mornin, @thehill.com

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

Keep documenting EVERYTHING.

Absolutely nauseating.

This is what Ice is doing in front of the cameras, imagine what they’re doing when no one is filming

Fun fact: My medication to treat endometriosis pain climbed 22,000% from last month to this month because a company-provided savings card that dropped the $1100/month cost to $5 caps the benefit at $5,000 — which, somehow by their math, means you use up in less than three months.

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

Kudos to photographer Ashlee Rezin. Amazing image.

New: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding ICE release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read encrypted messages. This is expensive for a small outlet but this info is important www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

Song in my head right now. No reason.

This week on Crimes of the Centuries: the Lufthansa heist. Scorsese’s Goodfellas made it slick, stylish and even funny. The real story was paranoid, bloody and messy as hell — with missing millions and a trail of bodies. 🎧 Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c... #truecrimepodcast

Spending most of my days just silently screaming

Oh my

If you found that Jimmy Kimmel getting pulled due to FCC coercion was a heinous attack on free speech (& it sure as hell is!) wait till you hear about the 10,000 books that have been banned in schools & libraries! If you're an author, join the fight @authorsabb.bsky.social We're stronger together!

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Oh, wow. I edited the Associated Press feature on Marilyn Hagerty after the Olive Garden review went viral. I was the news editor overseeing ND & SD at the time. Fargo-based reporter Dave Kolpack did a fantastic job.

Exactly this

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Jimmy Kimmel was cancelled.

I know everything is crappy and we’re all tired and no one has much money left, but if we’re learning anything right now, it’s that we need independent journalists. I co-run a profit-sharing podcast network with some journalism, some silly stuff, some true crime. If you can spare it…

I mean, I’ve boycotted Paramount+, its sister cos, Amazon, the Washington Post … I’m a’tryin’, but nothing seems to be workin’.

MAJOR RULING: Appeals court tosses key evidence from Elwood Jones case. Officer who found victim's pendant can't be cross-examined (he's dead), so his testimony is OUT of the retrial. Prosecutors once called this evidence 'better than a fingerprint.' #TrueCrime #Podcasts #Journalism

When I wrote my first book, my editor taught me a phrase: “Dead men can’t sue.” It was admittedly a bit callous to me as I still care about not besmirching someone’s name even if there’s nothing they can do to me legally, but the message stands: Dead men can’t sue.

I cold called their editor, Ben Bradlee, once when I was in high school to interview him for a history paper on Watergate. I often wonder how he’d stomach these times.

Hey, journos. Unless you can somehow verify Tyler Robinson’s purported text messages, they shouldn’t be presented as definitively from him. He’s had no lawyer speaking for him yet. They’re allegedly his. They’re purportedly his. They’re his, according to prosecutors. This is Journalism 101.

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

But, like, what was DJT informing the CIA about then?

#LegalBluesky, enlighten me please: If simply using a firearm in a murder is enough for federal charges, why aren’t more murder charges filed federally? Why isn’t Robinson?

This is a fantastic response to Charlie Kirk's assignation and the continuing fallout- not just from the act itself, but the culture that contributed to it.

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder... Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed. Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

@soozuk.bsky.social I think I’ve quote-posted you without comment before but it wasn’t to harvest likes. It was because you said something better than I could have and I didn’t want to sully it. TIL that’s bad form. Sorry!

The Slocum Massacre is such an important story. This week’s Crimes of the Centuries: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...
