Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s advice to Philly Mayor @cherelleparker.bsky.social:
“Do everything you can to build up the well of goodwill now. This crisis is different than COVID... It’s not enough to just be anti-Trump. Articulate a vision.”

Hard times for early-stage startups. Only companies getting big bucks are AI darlings.

Interesting new "news" site in Philadelphia: @phillyactivistnews.bsky.social. Not trying to hide anti-MAGA agenda, it's front and center. Kind of like @thebulwark.bsky.social
Not a fan of articles with no bylines though
No names on the site at all, so maybe it's fear of being targeted

Interesting to learn how the leaders at News Media Alliance rank US news pubs:
1) NYT
2) WSJ
3) Axios — but oops, they partnered with OpenAI

Still weird to me how siloed the startup community is — in Philly and most regions. Literally billions of dollars in economic activity general interest newsrooms almost never cover (including the one I used to run).

As @jasminemcnealy.com wrote in @niemanlab.org, this "dark patterns" practice (of which Billy Penn was surely guilty when I was there) puts news orgs in a category with scammers www.niemanlab.org/2024/12/publ...

Dang, the @inquirer.com hasn't implemented tech to let you cancel a subscription online? I've come to expect/allow that from small news startups, but surprised to find it at a touted digital success story like the Inky
