My only half-baked idea is that I don't think reporters should be allowed to work the same beat for longer than 5-7 years. I think this would solve a lot of media problems but not the case with the 20something.

I did not know that lady y'all are talking about is 32 years old. For whatever reason, I thought she was mid-40s.

Hearing officers use “inmate” as an insult reminded me to call incarcerated people — including myself — by our names.

This is why I work with a speaker's bureau and have a publicist. The spammers are not going to bother to go through these channels, but legit folks (book festivals, libraries, etc) will. I realize this is a privilege not every author has, nevertheless I am glad to have them vet for me.
As a librarian, this makes me very sad. We love inviting authors to our annual community read, but it's become impossible to get in touch with authors thanks to all the spam/scams out there.

Yes, and also, leave X if you have not already
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Like, this is applying the lowest possible standard here: I’m not even asking the US press to manage the impossible task of caring about the millions of poor people around the world being killed or having their lives ruined; they can’t even manage to judge it as a political win/lose story

There is a whole underworld of exploited workers who make up the foundation of digital tech. We talk about content moderators, but content farms are also very exploitative industries where moderately educated people with reasonable English skills in the global majority are used to push content.
It may be hard to believe, but Twitter was once a useful public space instead of a weird monetization scheme for racist ragebait chatbots.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

The early days of Twitter, identities were easy to prove because no one understood it and, at least my circle, we connected with people based on geographical location. That meant that we were doing meetups with folks in the same city/state.

Suspending more kids and sending more to jail for substance use and truancy will not reduce crime. Instead, it contributes to a vicious cycle.

I'm not a PTA aficionado but I agree.
Speaking as a longtime Paul Thomas Anderson aficionado, Sinners was a way more important film — and a much smarter film — than One Battle After Another, which was entertaining at times but also full of misogynoir and bad revisionist readings of liberation movements
