Stranger than fiction
It is often said that contemporary politics is like a work of fiction that has come to life. Might fiction be able to uncover more about our real-life political timeline than non-fiction ever could?…

Deep Listening? It's deep reading and deep thinking. I highly recommend this book by ⁦‪Emily Kasriel.

If you're a young journalist, apply for the Stern-Bryan Fellowship and the chance to spend the summer working for the @washingtonpost.com.
“I managed to persuade Ben Bradlee to send me to the 1984 Republican Convention in Dallas. When he asked me...what I thought of the event, I said, ‘Well, it couldn’t be more different from a Tory party conference!’ @masieghart.bsky.social (1984)

The last chapter will cheer you up, I hope!
Reading The Authority Gap by @masieghart.bsky.social (for a work book club nonetheless) and feeling a fury similar to the time I read Invisible Women by @ccriadoperez.bsky.social* (and I'm only half way through).

* Not recommended for public transport, unless you have a very calm disposition

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

"Women have been discriminated against for too long in a twisted interpretation of the word of God. Male religious leaders have had an option to interpret holy teachings either to exalt or subjugate women. They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter." Jimmy Carter RIP

The joke is @masieghart.bsky.social will be accused of being “bolshie” and “combative” for explaining her well-researched, coherent, (and frankly, correct) argument in a confident way.

Can you imagine Fiona Bruce stripping off in front of her crew, with only tassels to hide her nipples? Or Mishal Husain making sexualised comments to her researchers? Or Mel Giedroyc thrusting her groin at a young man wiping cake mixture off her trousers? My column in today’s @theguardian.com
Why do some men behave badly? I think I have the answer
From an early age boys are treated as though they are smarter and more talented than girls. It can lead to a damaging overconfidence

According to the Daily Mail, the world's gone mad. You can't even sexually harass a colleague at the Christmas party these days. Imagine being the Picture Editor who actively chose that photo!
