"Please stop pulling Mother Jones into your both-sides media criticism." By their CEO @MonikaBauerlein https://poynter.org/commentary/2022/please-stop-dragging-mother-jones-into-your-both-sides-media-criticism/

It's lazy and dumb, and if you knew what you were talking about — if, for example, you had read Mother Jones consistently — it would have been unthinkable.

But you were after the sugar high of the both sides maneuver: one from column right, one from column left, and in the middle your friendly neighborhood editorial board smiling and clueless, feeling ideology-free.

Please stop pulling Mother Jones into your both-sides media criticism - Poynter

False equivalencies are "dragging an independent investigative newsroom down to the level of a propaganda network."

This is big: The University of Barcelona is going to create an interdisciplinary course on the social and ecological crisis, which ALL STUDENTS will be required to take starting in 2024. (Note: It is ALL STUDENTS, not just MSCs as the @[email protected] suggests.) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/12/barcelona-students-to-take-mandatory-climate-crisis-module-from-2024

I apologise for not CWing this. Couldnt find the icon at time

I have Mastadon questions. The easiest way for me to ask them is to give specific examples

Example1: search function. I wanted to find posts on Mastadon about Australia’s #RoboDebt. I put it into the search function both with and without the #. Nothing came up. What am i doing wrong?

Example 2: in my quest to find old bird people i tried to look at who others i have found are following. It wouldn’t show anyone but me because all the others are on other servers.

Is there another way?

”Global Witness found more than 600 people at the talks in Egypt are linked to fossil fuels.
That's more than the combined delegations from the 10 most climate-impacted countries.”

It’s been a while since I’ve started out on a whole new platform. Forgot how empty these things can feel when you’re starting out! I mostly post about in #mecfs and #auspol, though I also love crafts (crochet), science, astronomy, music and other things I can’t remember or do anymore!

Waving hello in what feels like an empty room! #introduction

Every time I think the #Robodebt saga can’t be any worse, it turns out that early robodebt letters to social security recipients included the AFP logo. As if a letter from Centrelink telling you you owe thousands of dollars isn’t intimidating enough, some bright spark thought adding the AFP logo would be a good touch. Fuck these people. #auspol
We are very excited, this was our first festival and second win. 🎦
