A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

2000 Meters to Andriivka was snubbed by the Oscars, but it's still the absolute best documentary of modern warfare. When the soldiers who survived stood up after the film's premier in Kyiv last summer, they received a 15 minute standing ovation.

Low-latitudes in Europe are reporting aurora! Breathtaking seeing the Alps GLOWING red during this intense solar storm. Check out this current view from St. Anton, Austria.

MUST READ thread before Monday night's forecasted G4 / SEVERE geomagnetic storm. Auroras could be seen as far south as the U.S.-Mexico border at times. Widespread mid-latitude displays are possible. Here's what you need to know to have a successful aurora chase tonight! 🧵

This is the same backward thinking as "find the outrage in every story"
This is the polar opposite of journalism's mission and role. I'm not surprised she doesn't get it, because that's never been her job, but writing it out so explicitly that you don't know what journalism is about should be embarrassing.

Here is a thread about a true police-shooting incident that I'm going to use to pose a fun little thought problem for anyone anywhere who think there ia a single justifiable reason to ever allow a law enforcement officer to use force on a citizen and remain anonymous. From my back pages:
