I refer to it not just as "X" but specifically as "Elon Musk's X" just to keep giving a little mental jog about this

Kat Tenbarge @kattenbarge.bsky.social · 6h

One of the reasons I insistently call it X and not Twitter is because X is quite literally a propaganda platform run by Elon Musk and heavily utilized by the Trump administration and that is notably distinct from Twitter

I've read SCOTT PILGRIM a few times now, and every time the ending makes me glaze over, to the point where I can't tell you what even happens

JPB @jpb.bsky.social · 6h

O'Malley's great gift is taking small human drama (dealing with your partner's exes, making out with a co-worker) & making it Big Drama by infusing it with the vivid iconography, language, & sensibility of 💥COMICS💥. But when his climax is Big at the outset, making it bigger only drowns out the human

📚 33. SECONDS by Bryan Lee O'Malley. A young restauranteur wreaks havoc on her backstory. A re-read—and I thought the same thing I thought the first time: I love the first 7/8th of it, then in the final 1/8th its reach exceeds its grasp and the whole thing falls apart

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Seems bad!

Andy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 1d

Presidents have federalized a state's own Guard to use over its objection, most famously desegregation. And sometimes regular military has been used. But taking one state's soldiers and putting them in another state? This is a completely unprecedented breakdown of what the Union fundamentally is.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Faced with a post-truth ideological movement, media orgs have only two options:

1) Regularly distort reality to please the post-truth movement, and lose the trust of truth-based news consumers

2) Try to regain trust from the reality-based audience whose trust you lost while fruitlessly chasing 1

I keep waiting for the powers that be in media to grasp the concept of bad faith, realize how often "restore trust in news" and similar statements mean "stop doing journalism, lie more in ways I like," come from people ideologically committed to destroying trust in news, and can never be satisfied.

Karl Bode @karlbode.com · 1d

I too am keen to "restore trust in news" by turning a major broadcast network into a 24/7 slurry of right wing culture war propaganda and engagement trolling

max tani @maxtani.bsky.social · 1d

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
