What’s so funny about peace love and understanding
Dan GillmorThe NY Times continues to normalize extremists, none more dangerous than Florida's radical-right governor.
Journalistic business as usual -- in the face of existential threats to our democracy -- runs deep and wide in the Times' political coverage. And it is clear that the Times' top executives want it that way.
Drew Harwell"Fox News is a right-wing talk channel that profits off Republican propaganda. This isn't an opinion. It is a fact laid bare via the hundreds of pages of legal documents in the Dominion lawsuit. And yet, credible newsrooms continue to describe the outlet as a "news" network. This does a disservice to readers ... Fox News' business model is not predicated on informing viewers. It's dependent on feeding them lies that validate their views"

Saudi Arabia’s Newest Sportswashing Strategy: Sponsorship Of Women’s World Cup
FIFA’s decision to award Saudi Arabia’s state tourism authority sponsorship of the 2023 Women’s World Cup shows shocking disregard for suffering and repression of Saudi’s courageous women’s rights defenders. It points to the need for FIFA, soccer’s global governing body, finally to carry out its promised human rights due diligence on the impact of its decisions and to enforce its own human rights and non-discrimination policies across all FIFA operations—including future World Cup hosts and sponsorships.
Eugen RochkoI haven’t had much time to post because the last 3 months have been absolutely wild in terms of workload. But I’m very excited about how this platform is growing.
L O L G O PIt would be nice if the press noted that Republicans are threatening to destroy America's full faith and credit, crash the economy and put millions of Americans out of work -- all to get demands that they can't name in public.
Kenn WhiteToday I learned from @0xabad1dea that a lot of large solar farm owners use sheep herds to maintain their grass and they're called solarpunk grazers and life seems a little better. 🤘
Mr Spock 🖖I will continue to hold doors open for people even if they don’t thank me. I will continue to stand in line patiently at the supermarket when the store refuses to pay for more staff and thank the cashier. I will still smile at a stranger even if they think I’m weird. Because everyday we do not know what people are going through. Maybe they are in a terrible relationship and are being treated cruelly.
