“These are very dedicated people working on a shoestring budget trying to bring the news to their communities… I admire that, and I hope that comes through in the photos.” www.poynter.org/local-news/2...
It’s days like this when I miss my gig covering astronomy.

“It takes years to make good reporters—people who are trained, who love getting the story so much, who love the news so much, that they will wade into the fire, run to the sound of the guns. They are grown only in newsrooms, not at home with laptops.“ www.wsj.com/opinion/a-la...

That’s pretty much that from @jack-farrell.bsky.social today www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/fir...
I moved to Fort McMurray in March 2012 after internships at the Windsor Star and National Post.
I’m grateful to many people at Postmedia for giving me a career. I wish Postmedia nothing but the best.
I’m also excited for what‘s next.
My time to write one of these, but some personal news: I filed my last byline with Fort Mac Today.
I am joining CBC’s Fort McMurray bureau on Monday. I’ll be in Edmonton for the next few weeks for training before returning north. 1/
A transatlantic showdown over tech policy (as opposed to, say, net zero) could actually have a unifying & galvanising political effect within the EU. The union’s digital regulations are broadly popular and many voters actually want more, not fewer, controls on Big Tech.

I agree about Season 3, and feel if I had watched the first season and stopped, that would have been fine.
Looking through old debates on floor-crossing.
Stephen Harper had an underrated sense of humour.
“The tone of our public sphere will not be elevated by the way we talk about those we like or treasure. The test will be how we talk about those we oppose or even detest. Ridicule rallies the troops; it does not open avenues of dialogue.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Tolkien’s worlds will probably be linked to Peter Jackson’s aesthetics for decades.
This robs us of this artist’s vision for The Hobbit: Jason Kenney and Gollum ready to throw down.
“If Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair and the other late 20th century fakers were looking for the prestige and power that came with journalism in that moment, then this generation’s internet scammers are scavenging in the wreckage of a degraded media environment.”
All this taught me is a lot of people don’t know about aunts and “aunts.”
“What do you mean Aunt Kathleen, who is roughly the same age as my grandma, isn’t my dad’s sister?”
I played Fallout: New Vegas enough times to know how this could go.
Hilarious how the French establishment are melting down over the Louvre heist calling it a national embarrassment, as if if wasn't the coolest thing to happen in a minute
Literally any soldier past or present could have told you that.
People are shocked also that fuck weasel said the military exists to "kill people and break stuff," but if you're shocked I've got terrible news: it is, and the US Military is actually very good at both.
We're burying the lede here.
Photos like this are why I wish the Brits still wore monocles.
I’m surprised I’m actually liking this show.
But the ship where the alien gets loose (as if that’s a spoiler) has the namesake of a failed defence plan? Of course something is going to go wrong.
Can’t wait to see the USCSS 1980s HIV/AIDS Policies in season 2!

Today’s Glassholes deserve to be treated with the same contempt as the last ones.
All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.
really innovating here on slurs for poor people
