I have worked with these people for years in a freelance capacity. They know their stuff. I am excited for the potential of what they create.

This is the way forward.

An update to the Cop Slide incident!

#404media FOIA'ed the city about the #CopSlide viral video in #Boston, and got a response, summarized in the below article.

tldr: The officer hit his head and arm. Boston PD asserts that there's no bodycam footage, despite several officers standing around laughing, but 404 media is appealing as the video shows someone possibly filming with their phone's camera.

I love this part:

«Most importantly, astronomical overhead costs make it impossible for journalists to out-earn the cost of expensive office space, the ever-changing whims of management, executives’ salaries, the cost of unnecessary enterprise software, and an endless parade of consultants brought in to figure out what’s wrong.»

@ernie somebody please help them get set up on the fediverse! Show them that your post here got more engagement than any of their Tweets thus far.

I sent them a nudge: https://twitter.com/erlend_sh/status/1694047028517499051
