One of the finest investigative journalists of our times, a veteran of CBS news foibles himself, has posted a definitive explainer -- with deep context -- of the "60 Minutes" takedown by "oligarch functionary" Bari Weiss.

Watching Bari Weiss Murder Investigative Journalism at CBS

Notes from someone who's withstood White House demands to stop an explosive story—and who once even had a 60 Minutes piece spiked

FOREVER WARS

@nixCraft +1 for Bitwarden. Been using for several years, since I switched from Lastpass after their security issues. Having used password managers for over a decade, I can't see going back.

But I think for people who won't switch, Passkeys are a good option. But they are quite cryptic to the average user, I wish there was better education for general users about them.

@nixCraft I know people whose password manager is to use the password reset function every time they log in. 🤪

In another call for a more positive politics, Deborah Frances-White argues that:

'For too long, progressive people have tried to scold others into acquiescing rather than draw people into a place of understanding & empathy. We have to get more persuasive. Most of all, we need to find ways of reigniting those who’ve given up on democracy'.

Again: there is a real need for a positive & empowering message in politics not the usual 'vote against them' rhetoric.

The American Christian right has infiltrated the UK. We are on the road to Gilead, but it's not too late to change course

Ten years ago I started the Guilty Feminist podcast and the movement felt alive. Since then, I’ve watched in horror as Trump's America rolls back women's, gay and trans rights. Seeing the same strategies being imported to the UK, I am starting a movement to bring people together to fight back. Join me! By Deborah Frances-White

The hardest disbelief to suspend about the show.
@hzulla Bandcamp for music. Pays artists well. Maybe not as much selection as other options.
Handy tip: Never believe a known pathological liar! #Politics
