Hey, @themountaingoats.bsky.social, I was just enjoying the bass groove late in Your Bandage and thought you might like to know that. Love to Peter Hughes for all time. But it’s nice to know TMG have found someone with a lot to contribute now that he’s off doing other things.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

The transphobic messaging completely failed to help Republicans tonight. The anti-trans propaganda was a losing strategy which the GOP pushed all their chips in on, and it failed miserably. They lost every major race tonight.

that wsj story now feels like a culmination of anti-trans panic that should prompt a reckoning in the mainstream media. was totally bunk, false, peddled. it’s the kind of thing that has led to reconciliation before, and it should now. news editors should be looking at themselves in the mirror

Old rule of media - all information that comes out in the first 24 hours after a major news event starts is unreliable. By spreading it, you tend to make the situation worse. Please keep that in mind today and wait until we know more before sharing something that could inflame the situation.

LA got on Signal and ICE-watch. LA's biggest non-profit advocacy groups like the LA Tenants Union widened their missions to incorporate saving the whole fucking city. LA showed up. LA filmed. LA *knew its rights* and handed out red-cards at every opportunity. 6/

AI is for writers who don’t like to write but want to have written, and readers who don’t like to read but want to have read.

People are reading AI-generated synopses of books and then claiming they read 100 books in a week. This is how the abolition of books began in Fahrenheit 451: classics were condensed into five-minute summaries for those too busy to do the reading. Later came the burnings.

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

This thread lays it all out very well and it’s hard to reach any conclusion other than that the president is a proven child molester.

In this thread, I lay out more than a dozen facts about Trump and his child-molester friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
I challenge you to read the whole thread and then decide what the odds are that Trump did not abuse girls or tolerate his pals Epstein and Maxwell doing so.

There must be zero compliance with this. Patient confidentiality is the heart and soul of care. Care without confidentiality isn’t care at all. No “but our hands are tied, we need federal funding.” There must be a brick wall. Confidentiality is a no-compromise zone.
HIPPA only exists in name only. Plus the original Nazis used government data on trans people to hunt them down, this is doing the same thing indirectly.

The end of the ombudsman role has coincided with sketchy editorial decisions at the Times, the Post, and other papers. It’s hard for journalism to make money now, but the solution can’t be abandoning its ethical foundation, or you get today’s amateur circus at a once-great paper.
This is a defensive, 10-post thread from an NYT boss, and the only thing it truly illuminates is the need for the Times to bring an independent journalist back into the role of public editor.
Our assistant managing editor for Standards and Trust, Patrick Healy, posted on X today in response to feedback on our recent reporting on Zohran Mamdani.

Most will come to their realizations too late or not at all.
Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million.
If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000.
