Hello I will be taking a social media break from now until after New Year’s so I can actually detox. If you need me then please project all 92 episodes of Mad Men into the sky like the Bat Signal. Happy holidays, happy new year and remember that all we have is each other. Okay bye.

i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

Greta Thunberg has just been arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a sign expressing support for Palestine Action prisoners.

The arrest took place at the Prisoners for Palestine lock-on protest outside the offices of Aspen Insurance in central London. Aspen provides services to Elbit Systems

There's a petition - majority of signatures coming from Alberta of all places - calling on Parliament to do exactly that.

It's already blown well past its 500 signature minimum to be taken to the floor, but the more names on it, the more scare it'll put in the MPs

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social:

(It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

Something that makes this extremely funny is that Corus is like famously going down in financial flames rn. It would have been so easy to pressure them.

Every year I curse having to get the flu shot but I almost died from influenza as a child so it’s a small price to pay if I reduce the likelihood of doing that to another kid.

In the throes of a bad respiratory illness season, Canadian provinces are in the pocket of Big Virus.
Went in for 4 covid shots, came out with two because our government isn't funding them for everyone anymore.

“Bari Weiss ran articles without comment before.”
Yes it’s called she has no principles other than opportunism and she doesn’t care if she’s a hypocrite.

With everything happening at CBS, I think rhetoric about supporting alt media can give us a false sense of control. We have to grasp the reality that news outlets have always been on the side of the institutions. What we’re seeing now is a logical outgrowth of the US’ political instability 1/

Instagram is letting neo-Nazism go mainstream. Influencers like Hayden McDougall and Dylan Shane push Holocaust denial, Nazi symbols, and extremist merch to millions — all under Meta’s watch. What was once fringe ideology is being algorithmically normalized in plain sight.

This is starting to make the rounds, but I checked Andrew Tate’s feed and replies on X and did not see the post shown. There’s a high probability it is fake.

Great article. Most of us didn’t know that Paul and Joshua were in amateur hour before the iconic broken jaw. I certainly didn’t.

I’m not one to have all the answers but I do think the loudest voices on “the left” being detached yuksters or institution cradling opportunists is causing more harm than we think.

This is why it's crucial to provide subjects reasonable amounts of time to respond. I've even given subjects time extensions. But I've never held a story because someone didn't want to respond. And it's hard to imagine that 60 Minutes didn't provide their subjects with adequate time to respond.
I have never, once in my career, heard of a news org responding to a decline-to-comment with, “Well, we’ll hold it until you do.”

The reason is obvious — it gives the subject of your story a pocket veto.
