A nice look from @knightfoundation.org at how legal support helps journalists do their best work, with shoutouts for @rcfp.org, @splc.org, @facoalition.bsky.social, and more.

Agree with @jamellebouie.net. The other thing that bugs me about this that the one person in the interview who _is_ a public servant doesn‘t seem to realize that … he’s a servant. Of the people.

From ICE raids to protests, journalists in the field are at risk more than ever. So, how should you prepare before a public event? Next week, a @womenjournos.bsky.social panel — feat. @rcfp.org's Jen Nelson — will offer advice on how to stay safe and mitigate danger. Details:

As the Kansas City Chiefs come down to decision-making time on whether their new stadium will be in Kansas or Missouri, one economist who has studied sporting venues extensively says they are not an economic catalyst. kansasreflector.com/2025/11/11/c...

You’d think an MD would have an idea of how health insurance works. Then again, if you ever ask your doc if your treatment is covered by insurance, your doc will say that insurance to too complicated for a doc to be able to answer that question.

Yeah, but he wasn’t wearing a tan suit at the time.

Happy "finally cold enough to fuck with your tire pressure" Day to all who celebrate

Following widespread pressure — including from @rcfp.org's Kris Cundiff — Indiana University recently backed down from its decision to stop @idsnews.bsky.social from printing news coverage in the campus newspaper.

Lest we forget.

Now online: The first woman in the British Empire entitled to wear a hood trimmed with fur was in New Zealand in 1879. Bruce Christianson, Philip Goff, and the late Nicholas Groves tell her story in Furred Hoods with Silk Linings from the Late 19th Century. newprairiepress.org/burgonsociet...

TIL: Tallinn was one of the last pagan strongholds in Europe, leading to the Papal-sanctioned "Northern Crusades" to defeat the "Baltic heathens" from c.1200 - 1225. The Livonian Crusade ended with Danish Christian control of Estonia, but German Teutonic knights left strongholds. Lovely photos!

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

The Jayhawks were moments away from bowl eligibility. Here’s what went wrong.

One year after abortion rights were enshrined in Missouri's state constitution, procedural abortions are available at three Planned Parenthood clinics in Missouri, but medication abortions remain completely unavailable. (@missouriindependent.com)

Should the Kansas Jayhawks have gone for it on fourth down? Here’s what Lance Leipold said after losing to Arizona.

Elsa McGrain was on a run Thursday evening when she was struck by a vehicle near the Lawrence Regional Airport.

On June 8, 1966, an F5 twister touched down in Topeka, Kansas, killing 17 people and injuring hundreds. All of these years later, some locals still wonder if it happened because the city ignored an urban legend.

We’ve BEEN lost

A very good point, and one that many people who criticize journalism haven’t figured out about journalism. When a journalist writes that Tim’s uncle said that Mamdani will abolish the NYPD, the journalist is accurately reporting what Tim’s uncle said. That’s when your job starts. Think: Is he right?

A good point from @drskyskull.bsky.social. Judging the past (an author’s decision from 200+ years) by a late 20th-century standard may be informative, but it’s unfair to a person who never had the chance to live up to our standards.

True, so true. I’ve always wanted to see a Broadway ouide in Nork City.

Exactly! As soon as I get my nood back from the dry cleaners, I’m heading to ouide commencement.

The thing I find so bizarre is folks showing up and saying, look this thing AI did and just sending it out into the world. Even though its awful, not just banal, completely wrong and weird. If an intern gave you this level of output you'd be letting them go...

When I got the email, I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry: “Our AI turned your paper ‘King’s Crowns: The’ into a shareable comic. ” Here’s 24,000 words turned into four panels, including a reference to Nork City and the year 17605. Cf. newprairiepress.org/burgonsociet...

Also, look up communism. It’s an economic idea—long discredited—that when used like a raspberry exposes one’s pretty basic misunderstanding of 20th-century history.
