@sorenbowie.bsky.social you might be way past caring, but Cracked hasn’t shown up in my timeline for years and the first time it has done since I don’t know when it looks like it was written by AI.

Ukrainian Investigative Journalism in Times of War, presented by Anna Babinets at #CIJSummer @cijournalism.bsky.social
As Ukraine became more democratic, our main focus was corruption. I had this dream that one day we will not find Ukrainian politicians in an offshore leak. Now I dream that we can go back to being a regular investigative journalism outlet that looks at corruption.

Chris Mullin: Protect Sources! Presented by
Chris Mullin with Duncan Campbell, and Gillian Phillips
at #CIJSummer @cijournalism.bsky.social
"The stakes were quite high. They could have locked me up. I don't think they could be that daft. There would have been quite a backlash. But they could have imposed unlimited rolling fines." "It's tempting to say 'Keep the document in a safe place; give it to the editor'. Don't give it to the editor. Explain to the journalist the ethical considerations and let them keep it." "News International betrayed their journalists and their sources by passing on their communications."

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.
A surreal juxtaposition of images in a mundane setting. An old television screen displays the bare shoulders and neck of an unknown individual, with a garland of pink flowers instead of a face. Underneath is the text: “Your future self is watching you right now through memories.”
