“I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC,” the Secretary of Defense declared as he discussed sensitive military operations with senior White House officials in a group chat to which the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine had been mistakenly added.
![The Hegseth message goes on to state, "Waiting a few weeks or a month does not fundamentally change the calculus. 2 immediate risks on waiting: 1) this leaks, and we look indecisive; 2)
Israel takes an action first - or Gaza cease fire falls apart - and we don't get to start this on our own terms. We can manage both. We are prepared to execute, and if I had final go or no go vote, I believe we should. This [is] not about the Houthis. I see it as two things: 1) Restoring Freedom of Navigation, a core national interest; and 2) Reestablish deterrence, which Biden Gratered. But, we can easily pause. And if we do, I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC"_ operations scurity. It welcome other thoughts:](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t4x2ruk2qmob2b2cx55h4v7r/bafkreifjersuarvqenh6h5hixkctwx6hooqgocfnthnsqvq4buvhgsw7na@jpeg)

"every fraction of a degree matters" is true as hell. In the same way that releasing CO2 hurts people and planet, avoiding its release saves us from potential harm

How do you make good journalism succeed on platforms that reward the qualities of MrBeast videos? You do not, as we’ve found. The news content that performs well on social media is increasingly further-removed from the standards valued by traditional newsrooms

The dynamics between journalism, social media content creation, and the media industry are not as simple as people make them out to be (journalists can influence, influencers can do journalism), but one thing for certain is that traditional media orgs cannot be saved by becoming influencers

Over the past 4–5 years, Facebook has sunset tools (chiefly CrowdTangle) used by researchers and journalists, made data difficult and expensive to get, and iced out academics studying disinformation.
Now, it's shutting down the fact checking on its platform.

Let’s be clear—the fact checkers have not “been” politically biased as Zuck suggests, but have been *perceived as such* because of politically motivated efforts to smear them, one that Zuck is now participating in and capitulating to. 1/
"We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X, starting in the U.S," Mark Zuckerberg announces
He asserts that "the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S."
