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.

We are not equipped to deal with this much adrenaline and cortisol on an hourly basis. The burnout is far beyond our regulatory capacity.

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

First the Cherokee, Now the Palestinians Revisiting the history of U.S. attitudes toward the Cherokee Nation shows how consistent the rhetoric of oppressors is across time and place. The rationalizations for ethnic cleansing do not change.

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.

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!

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.

My cursive is very cool looking, but leans the "wrong" direction (right handed-left slant) and I stopped because all my teachers would dock me points.

The 24-second news cycle is exhausting journalists. Here’s how they cope - Poynter From meditation to muting notifications, reporters share the habits that help them stay informed without burning out

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?

🆕 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.

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.

@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.

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.

Very Gen-X. Fugazi was a band that formed from seminal hardcore punk band Minor Threat and Albini was a famous 90s record producer.

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.
