Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

Some right-wing faux-journalist leeches decided to go after Mark Carney's trans kid. They couldn't even rub together enough journalistic skill to do that properly. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/you-dont-g...

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.”

The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Here’s how Duterte used Facebook (which made a deal for data charge exemptions thus making the app synonymous with the internet for many poor Filipinos) to harass his critics.🧵
It’s worth studying the slaughter unleashed by ex Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte. He killed up to 30,000 poor people in a futile attempt to wipe out drugs & his main communications vector was Facebook. Watch Nobel laureate @mariaressa.bsky.social explain how it was used to silence opposition.

I have lost the ability to tell if news organizations are actually this out of touch, this uncaring about fact-checking or context, or if this is an editorial agenda to terrify the people who would benefit most from universal healthcare, the elderly.

@gregorcraigie.bsky.social Do we really need to listen to two old white guys on a three-person panel saying "woke"? At least one of them could be put out to circle the pasture in his convertible.
