Dear Journalists on Bluesky: I have a question.

Would you interview notorious liar George Santos, let him accuse female journalists reporting on him of being literal and not metaphorical prostitutes, refrain from any pushback, then publish and promote the interview for clicks?

I can buy the argument that we shouldn’t blame the Trump administration for letting in the guy who committed the shootings. I have a harder time with the argument that the Biden administration is to blame for the Trump administration letting in the guy who committed the shootings.

If you use AI in a presentation or product marketing, I'm going to assume you've put the same lack of care and attention into the rest of the content.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Not to be conspiratorial but the ring that knows everywhere you go, when & where you sleep, & what causes you physiological stress also has contracts to share data with Palantir & the Dept of Defense (allegedly no personally identifying data bc that would be illegal 🙄) so do what you will with that.

I think the 1920s should be remembered less as “everyone had money and challenged Victorian morality” and more as “reactionaries ran the country and elites partied while
half the nation entered the Depression ahead of schedule.”

100 years later, 'The Great Gatsby' still speaks to the troubled dream of America
Great works of art are great, in part, because they continue to have something to say to the present: They're both timebound and timeless. And, boy, does Gatsby have something to say to us in 2025.

Is he still an Episcopalian? Surely not.
On today's Tucker Carlson show, he makes clear that he believes that the US fought on the wrong side in World War II. In particular he says that the UK was mistaken to declare war on Germany just because it invaded Poland. And he has lots of sympathy for Herr Hitler throughout.

It's easy to be numb because it's par for the course nowadays, but repeatedly calling a reporter who asks a reasonable question "stupid" is conduct unbecoming for a small-town mayor, let alone the President of the United States.

The press exists to play a watchdog role, not be a supplicant.

1. A woman reporter. Pres Piggy once again insulted a woman reporter.

2. Kudos to the woman reporter for pressing him.

3. Watch her face as he rants defensively like the lunatic he is.
