Let's just say that @joho.bsky.social's YouTube channel provides a far more reliable history of the pandemic than the @nytimes.com, particularly given its platforming of "Podcast Jay" Bhattacharya's historical revisionism and justification for promoting MAHA. sciencebasedmedicine.org/podcastjaybh...
Pandemic Revisionism Is a Pretext for MAHA Vandalism
My YouTube channel is a reliable history of the pandemic. The NY Times is not.

Hooray, the power’s back on. I’m not sleeping, I’m quickly putting everything to charge because everything ran out of battery during the whole day.
I need to get everything done fast, the power might not last long.

It's been a long time since Ben Bradlee was at the Post. I guess that's it. My old paper is completely gone.
It is a devastating evidence of the Trump regime that the US capital Washington no longer has any serious newspaper, leaving it far behind any other significant capital in the world.
Trump has successfully turned the US into a banana republic in no time.

2. History professors are qualified nominators.

I've read it. It's the most comprehensive work I've seen, very detailed.
This book doesn’t flatter anyone-it’s worth reading. What struck me is this: nobody here is really in charge, and that’s the trick. These ‘rulers’ don’t rule by courage or conviction, but by incentives and attention. They don’t demand loyalty; they reward performance. And people line up willingly.
I hired professional fact checkers for my book bc it tells the story of how Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger *lied about me.* Hired pros prev at The New Yorker. It was very expensive! My book also went through 6 rounds of legal review. So they haven’t sued me. Read it here:

Maybe someone could document all the shifts in the Washington Post in the last year.
We need to document how this ownership change shifts the content. Would love to see scientists studying and reporting on this as it happens, as well as everyday people documenting the changes in their feeds with TikTok diaries or something similar. I’ll assume we won’t have much if any API access.

Contrast this with how this same administration has revoked visas for researchers studying how information ecosystems are manipulated (including by foreign actors like Russia). Seems strange that they welcome back the manipulators and attack those working to identify and call them out.
