HISTORY.

I just got access to "Claude Cautionary Tale"?

Commentary: I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

the film, backrooms, is pretty much "sleep no more" if it took place in oberlin college. i said what i said.

at this point, have to ask ourselves why we have robots out there dancing with a shirt and no pants like winnie the pooh

why do i, instead of seeing "floaties" in my eyes, i just envision a responsible dad picking up their child from middle school?

ok i don't want to be annoying, but did we as a culture forget how to properly use "less" and "fewer" in sentences?

the cruel thing about PGP with subkeys is that, you have to renew them, as like, "proof of life" the other cruel thing is, you can no longer lie about being unable to read email because of expired subkeys also cruel; everyone can estimate how old you are because you can still do PGP subkeys

Since January 2025, the Trump admin has consistently targeted journalists for their reporting. Ahead of World Press Freedom Day, we're urging the DOJ to drop charges against @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social and others. Read the letter we signed with @amnesty.org: www.amnestyusa.org/blog/civil-s...

i went to Perugia for #ijf26 and i worked A LOT. i'm exceptionally proud of this conversation we had about preparing journalists working with whistleblowers: www.youtube.com/live/fzJXuc5...

i don't post much, but when i do, it's to hype myself up for the inevitable reboot of Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job via infowars

i don't post much, but when i do, it's to talk about the latest @404media.co pod with Cindy Cohn, who came out the gate with the best mic drop of all time: "are you worried more about the company spying on you? or the government spying on you? and i'm like, nobody's offering you that choice"

I’m freezing… your rent as the next mayor of New York City. Let’s plunge into the details.

Thanks to Blake Lively, we're finally focused on how PR firms use troll farms to trash women who speak up. It's happened to many women in tech, including myself. Brunswick, the crisis PR firm for the VC firm I sued, bragged about the "integrated networks of influence" they used to manage reputations

i always felt Civil War was more a buddy road-trip movie than a movie about journalism

other things to consider: 📝 subpoena includes access to 404 journos' notes and drafts, tangential to the org's reporting ⚖️ with a federal #PRESSact still up in the air, journos' only protection resides in state shield laws, which are NOT ENOUGH 💸 it costs money to go to court. support journalism

i commented for CJR on this new AI-powered CMS integration for media makers that could potentially help with legal review. these types of innovations are super intriguing to me; what do yall think? www.cjr.org/innovations/...

THESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE EATING OUR CATS

We explained in the Albuquerque Journal that the May arrests of two Albuquerque journalists covering protests at UNM threaten press freedom, despite that the charges were later dismissed.

"Five secretaries of state plan to send an open letter to ... Elon Musk on Monday, urging him to “immediately implement changes” to X’s AI chatbot Grok, after it shared with millions of users false information suggesting that Kamala Harris was not eligible to appear on the 2024 presidential ballot."
