Back in the day I used to work for a news desk.
It wasn't for very long, and journalism ultimately wasn't for me---but because of it I have a healthy respect for those who do journalism with integrity; and know how to recognise some of the tricks employed by those who don't.

on the topic of labor reporting. i find the defense of the article as published centering an emotional truth and not intending to get bogged down in numbers baffling. in a dispute between a worker and a boss, the material conditions are of high importance!

Some things I'd love AP folks to consider and build on:
- Naming things. What you name your show can have a big impact on whether people will want to work or watch you.
At least 1 show I won't touch because of the connotations of the name.
- Captions. You can caption your content, & you should!

I'm seeing positivity for Jon Ossoff on the timeline so I just want to remind everyone that he is the only Democrat to break ranks and vote against a Biden federal judge appointment.
He did it because the judge had moved a trans woman that was being raped in men's prison to a women's prison.
