I keep seeing journalists pushing this ridiculous narrative that Biden pardoning his son will somehow "embolden" Trump...

No. It really won't.

He was already going to do whatever the hell he wanted to. This will change absolutely nothing.

But if you insist here's a list of things that will*:

Journalists acting like he's a normal president.

Journalists reporting on him like he's a normal president.

The Supreme Court.

All the Republicans still in congress.

Democrats who insist on being bipartisan.

*this list is not exhaustive.

EFF strongly supports the PRESS Act, which would provide critical protections to journalists against government surveillance and forced disclosure of their confidential sources. Help ensure its passage by telling Congress it must be a priority.  https://act.eff.org/action/tell-congress-to-pass-the-press-act-now
Tell Congress To Pass the PRESS Act Now

The Protect Reporters from Exploitive State Spying (PRESS) Act is a long overdue federal shield law that provides protections to journalists against government surveillance and forced disclosure of confidential sources. Journalists shouldn’t be forced to choose between protecting their confidential sources or going to prison. But the reality is that both Democratic and Republican administrations have secretly subpoenaed reporters’ emails and phone records to hunt down their sources. That chills essential newsgathering and whistleblowing, and it needs to stop now.

@br00t4c Hard agree on Honig. He has had more than a few questionable takes on things.

Neighbor's young cherry block yesterday. Dog and handlers training in detecting devastating diseases Western X & Little Cherry diseases. Novel approach that is hopefully successful. At the moment, entire orchards are torn out if the trees are infected.
Apologies for the audio, my dog was right beside me:)

@billyjoebowers I found the follow graph.vercel.app super helpful too. It gives you a chance to get a glimpse at people's bios and pages and decide if they are someone you might be interested in following. Basically, the list is people that your follows follow (if that makes sense - I have re-written this sentence too many times! :)
