On parade day, amid talk of a new world order, Jordyn Haime looks at the notion of China as a "civilizational state" (文明型国家). Arising years before "civilization" joined the core of CCP thought, it connects today to Xi's “Global Civilization Initiative.” chinamediaproject.org/the_ccp_dict...

At the rate journalists are being killed in Gaza by the Israeli army, there will soon be no one left to keep you informed. We join with more than 150 other media outlets across the world to condemn these crimes.

One of those articles that gives the most terrifying possible answer to the question "is AI *really* stealing my job?"
Wired and Business Insider have removed features written by a freelance journalist after concerns they are likely AI-generated.

Freedom of expression non-profit Index on Censorship is also in the process of taking down a magazine article by the same author pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/d...

Good to see this piece in Mirror Daily from Amnesty International Taiwan--drawing attention to that the government tried to smear an SCMP report on Taiwan's support for illegal Israeli settlement by @jordynhaime.bsky.social, claiming it was Chinese disinformation

TW media are now reporting that the representative to Israel has not yet made a pledge to donate, and that discussions are ongoing between the two sides. I thought I would share the full statement I received from Abby Lee, since there wasn't space to include it in the story.

Timeless piece written 20 years ago.
"When anti-Semitism is everywhere, it is nowhere. And when every anti-Zionist is an anti-Semite, we no longer know how to recognize the real thing–the concept of anti-Semitism loses its significance."

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.
