Newsrooms have spent decades building audiences on platforms they don’t control — and when those platforms change their rules, those relationships vanish.

Brooklynites: with SNAP benefits expiring as of today, here are two ways you can help feed neighbors: donate to CHiPS, the food pantry/ women's shelter in Park Slope: www.chipsonline.org. Or leave food in the community fridge on 6th Street between 4th and 5th avenues, next to the Postmark Cafe.

Extreme views are heavily over-represented on social media
Social platforms’ tendency to reward hostile content creates incentives that systematically reward simplistic messages and extreme positions and this fuels populism www.ft.com/content/9251... via @jburnmurdoch.ft.com

This is what I was working on at Vox with @reckless.bsky.social and the Coral team. Dan gets it
What's a thing that's not quite a CMS but also a CMS? A CMS that's oriented not around publishing "articles", but around publishing objects that reside in streams, that can be commented on, federated out, extended? That also lets journalists broadcast out and, honestly, stroke ego?

Sen Klobuchsr has been trying to erode or overturn section 230 for years and has never properly responded to critiques about the innumerable bad effects it would have on internet speech
Nice @zey.bsky.social piece about deepfakes, warning about putting governments in charge to weed out "fake" news. She describes proposal by Sen. Klobuchar to permit Health secretary to designate health misinfo that would be excluded from 230 liability protection. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/11/o...
