The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story.
The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth.
And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

This is the number one issue I find with junior game designers (and unfortunately, non-designers who think anyone can design). So many people cannot tell the difference between "a game I like" and "a game that's designed well" and they get REAL mad if you point out there's a difference
begging people to learn to separate “i like it” with “it’s good.”
i like some things that are objectively crap. you can admit that you do too. it’s fine

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Until they quietly turn it on in a future update after sending out mass e-mails that general, lowest-common-denominator users don't take the time to read 'warning' them. Looking at you, Google Photos face recognition.
Been trying to find actual articles about this viral "AI is reading your gmail" thing and best I can understand: Google rolled out an OPT-IN feature that allows Gemini to scan your email. The settings instructions in the viral posts WILL prevent you from opting in but ISN'T necessary for opting out
Gemini AI Deep Research Can Read Your Gmail Now
Google has confirmed that Gemini AI Deep Research can now read your Gmail, Docs, Drive And Chat. Here’s what you need to know and why you shouldn’t panic.

I’m a big advocate of “try to engage with and understand the media your kids like” instead of blanket banning things, but there are truly zero redeeming qualities to Roblox and letting your kids play anything else is preferable
Roblox is a trash organization and I would sooner let my kids play a AAA gorefest than play it. could not be more obvious how little they think of children.

This morning something I read was "The female roman empire is Tom Holland's Umbrella performance" and I genuinely can't think of an alternative candidate.

While I don’t ride or die for Pete Buttigieg, the vitriol directed at him is completely insane.
“When I was younger I wished that I could have taken a pill to turn me straight; but I have accepted and embraced my identity now” is an *extremely* common sentiment from Millennial and older gay people!

When Pete Buttigieg says he would take medicine that makes gay men straight. What do you think is Mr. Buttigieg's attitude towards gays, men and medicine?
