obviously I have not really existed here for a while but feels like Bluesky is slowly achieving some kind of critical mass. Me: bsky.app/profile/andrewwrite… Overdue book podcast: bsky.app/profile/overduepod.… Take care of yourselves and each other.

Seeing big national newspapers decline to make a presidential endorsement because they don't want to risk Trump's retaliation if he wins is really dark. That's not something I ever expected to see in the United States.

Consider all the negative public figures in power right now who started with decades-long impunity on white-collar crime.
This is amazing. Texas Attorney General directly involved in blatant technology scam for "Eco-friendly servers" theregister.co.uk/2016/04/11…

I just rewatched Teenage Bounty Hunters (my favorite series in the Netflix One and Unjustly Done Graveyard), which no one has seen and which is perfect, so I’m really feeling this tweet.
Netflix could have had an absolutely killer library of shows that built word of mouth and paid returns over a decade , and instead they have one Stranger Things and two hundred single-season shows you’re never going to watch because you heard they got cancelled on a cliffhanger.

There's something about this form that makes people act so ugly, but the NYT is not just journalists. We're striking for our lower paid colleagues, those who put out the paper, our security guards, our news assistants. That is the point of COLLECTIVE actions. We fight together.

We are unionized media workers because we are trying to save our publications. We are saving them for our readers. And our democracy. Every day we have an obligation to hold power to account and minimize harm. And we are doing that today.

We have not engaged in this kind of collective action in decades. But we are tired and angry. Journalists and media workers have been giving companies concessions for decades only to see company profits squandered on stock buybacks and executive pay. Enough is enough!

We’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

I have read a lot of ChatGPT output over the last few days and, yes, I am amazed at how often the output reads like something written by an “even-handed” both-sides-er who is repeating info they just learned and is trying really hard not to get roasted in the comments

This is so well-put by @mckinneykelsey! Huge businesses are getting so good at capitalism they barely have to do the thing they say they do anymore. Read the whole thing: defector.com/it-shouldnt-be-…
