If you know me, you know I have been working on this for months!! So excited to see this series go out into the world 🐻‍❄️🦭❄️

people are dying in donetsk daily and just a few years ago a bunch of guys in camo were terrorizing lawmakers in the us capitol building. but it's "open warfare" to be rude on c-span or on Steve Bannon's podcast

I am once again asking media outlets talking about ACTUAL wars not to use metaphorical wars in the same headline

@KSuchanow hello, I'd like to reach out to you about an interview for US media, can you dm me?

Fyodor Dostoevsky is the greatest content creator you've never heard of. Reading his work changed everything I knew about business. He often communicated ideas in long made-up stories, so I've synthesized the 7 principles to elevate your online presence from gulag to new Jag ↓

@realgirl_fieri @jennegatron or, like other another commenter said, it's not just that parents are tracking your location but that they don't trust you at all when you're out of the house. getting the second degree at home about how you spent your time out would be even more cumbersome than the FindMy.

@realgirl_fieri @jennegatron I question these tools but I do think that your parents knowing where you are is generic info - you still benefit from the privacy of hanging out with your friends outside your house. I think it's more bc young people don't go to school in their own neighborhoods as much anymore

yes, IF journalism schools stop molding themselves into job training centres for low-budget content farms. Schools must instead focus on teaching research, investigative techniques, find information, analyze discrepancies. Teaching the public these tools will always be a net good

@jwsthomson you don't have to. she's writing a thesis about the media. it doesn't mean she has to work in media

@ElaheIzadi If anything WAMU probably DOES get money from npr that most other stations don't get!! because npr syndicates 1A. Many stations don't have a big show like that to sell to npr.

@ElaheIzadi stations do not get money from NPR. and if you mean CPB, only 135 out of 549 total grantees rely on CPB for more than a quarter of their revenue: ergo, vast majority of stations rely 'much more heavily on fundraising and corporate sponsorship.' this is a significant error.

Ominous email sent to WAMU staff this afternoon about a “new strategic framework” to be announced Friday morning. Their offices will be closed to have the "time and space" to have these convos-- WAMU won't publish anything online, and they're automating starting 8pm.

the thing that stresses me out about vice moving to a studio model is that the smartest small media outfits now are moving to a studio model to put their stories on platforms like vice. someone has to actually distribute the stuff.

god bless

@GrimKim @mattyglesias or libraries

@mattyglesias you really need to stop acting like you know the first thing about punk

This shirt raises money for and causes, but also I think explores a central tension of contemporary progressive politics. You can’t really be punk (edgy, avant garde, rebellious, cool, fun) and also be the educated professionals who run everything. slowboring.com/p/socialists-o…

grover has been laid off without severance despite being part of his paper’s bargaining unit. he found out this morning while at the capitol via a push alert from the new york times

@MikeIsaac I mean they also had it free so they shouldn't judge you

i was scheduling an interview with someone and they were like "very sorry the only time i have open is the evening of Wednesday the 14th!!!" and i was like "idk why that's a problem, that's wide open for me" and then silence on the end of the line until i said "ohhh..." self-neg

@janhopi Portugal also has way more pathways to obtain permanent residency/citizenship, if that's what he wants. UK will make him work his butt off then show him the door :/

immediately chartering a plane to fly out to Turkey so I can shake this man by the shoulders and scream at him to take the job in Portugal.

@TheLincoln but it's also a shame, because original essays, reviews and articles are the closest that students get to doing post-grad humanities or social science work. Using the cheat-proof options mean people who actually WANT to keep doing this don't get a chance to try their hand.

@TheLincoln Oral exams and handwritten tests on paper, in person, in the classroom/exam room seem like the best routes, force you to read and remember enough to have it still in your head when you show up (1/2)

@SafeTennessee @AmiEverAfter Serena Williams yells on the court all the time. Are we to assume she's a bad mother to her kids? this is a very dangerous precedent.

As a survivor of DV the speculating about Travis Kelce isn’t sitting well with me. My abuser looks like a harmless nerd and would never get physical with a male superior. So many perpetrators of IPV never show their propensity for violence except behind closed doors with a physically smaller and often financially dependent partner. It feels like a perpetuation of “she should have known” and “just don’t marry a bad guy.” Everyone wants to believe it’s so obvious. He footballed on the sideline after footballing a few feet away was cheered for by millions.

it's interesting -- I see takes like this all the time but every time I'm in Germany I meet people who genuinely struggle to communicate in English and are relieved when I bust out my (bad) A1 German. I believe this person, I just wonder why the experiences are so different.
