I truly hope this @niemanlab.org prediction from @traciepowell.bsky.social comes true! "Influencers won’t save journalism. Algorithms won’t save journalism. Corporate platforms won’t save journalism. Communities will. But only if we pivot — fast. www.niemanlab.org/2025/12/jour...

"Journalism will look back on its influencer mania the way it now views the 'pivot to video' — as a costly diversion from building real community infrastructure."

Calling Tuberville “governor-elect” a year before the election is not the flex you think it is. It’s a way of shouting to the world that Alabama is not, in fact, a democracy or a Republic. You’re telling people the fix is in.

Trump doesn’t want your state to be able to ban people from using AI to make porn of you or your wife or your mom. Obviously, the Constitution doesn’t allow him to declare what state governments can or can’t regulate. www.businessinsider.com/trump-ai-exe...

I’m outraged again to hear Hegseth berating reporters, saying they know nothing of the fog and friction of war.
This was not war. No one was shooting back. By Hegseth’s admission, these guys were clinging to the wreckage for TWO HOURS before they were killed.
