This is how people are acting in the U.S. right now. Yes, it does get ridiculously super cold for like one or two days, but it used to be very cold for many days.

Ah.
But the NY Times editors and execs hired Maggie Haberman BECAUSE she is friendly to Trumpworld.

Probably Peter Baker, too.

The reason has to do with the business of US political news.
The problems aren't just about Haberman: they're structural about our media. (Media reform now.)

Here’s the story: in thread below. /1

👏 👏 👏
And THIS is how you tell a sea lion to STFU. 🔥

In response to a post in which I said that russia is committing genocide in Ukraine, @ViviannaVanGogh asks me the following question. I would be pleased to oblige her with an explanation.

I don’t fucking think so.

I think that Elon may just be a little bitter about Mastodon

😂😂😂

Washington Post will be creating their own instance. They will add #mastodon accounts to journalist profiles.

Institutional #journalism embracing the #fediverse is important.

It's best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It's how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied.

It's not an inconsistency. It's very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination.

Lone banning journalists is like the time Tumblr banned porn - it's literally the site's raison d'etre. If journalists abandon Twitter - and they have a moral obligation to - then Twitter is just Truth Social.

Ye still has a couple of hours left in the day to commit a massive, crippling self-own in order to keep up

@Pwnallthethings Elon is so great at driving people to new places. He should start a car company or something.

So how long do you think it will take for that joinmastodon account that got suspended from Twitter to migrate over to mastodon? 😉

Possibly my favourite cartoon in the world (by Emily's Cartoons).

Monday is Constitution Day in Russia, and millions of people across the country will honor their nation's founding document in the same spirit as the Putin regime by wiping their asses with paper at some point in the day.

I feel really bad for Elon Musk.

At this rate, he won't have any Twitter employees left who he can force to work on Christmas eve.

I stopped posting on Twitter a week ago because I don’t want to help a nazi sympathizing billionaire man-baby with his website. Feels good to not be doing that. Can I get an amen?

You've all heard of Elf on the Shelf, but in Canada we have:

There are so many questions about whether Russian propaganda actually has any meaningful impact on the attitudes and beliefs of target audiences, and I think this evidence helps to show that 1) yes it does, and 2) much of the influence may actually take place indirectly, via the impact of Russian propaganda on the tone of media coverage more broadly, such as its impact on how/how much Fox News covered the far-right truck convoy, how it was framed in news coverage, etc.
