Especially worse if it's an important news story.
I get that the writers and the newspaper need income to continue to publish important news stories but man, there's gotta be a better way.

This goes for medical and scientific journals as well. Increasingly important in an age of misinformation!

If you ever want to see where America tests its ass backwards policies before mainland roll out always look at the pending legislation in Puerto Rico.
If enacted, a new bill in Puerto Rico will limit government transparency and severely restrict the work of journalists.

We, alongside 10 other press freedom organizations, urge Puerto Rican Governor Jenniffer González-Colón to reject SB 63.

Cheap, minimally online if at all, doesn't spy on you, doesn't have subscriptions or micro transactions, won't be enshittified, you own it, reminds them of simpler times or childhood, modern pop culture is adversarial and alienating

In honor of the unjustly banned Link, I invite folks to post their mutual aid below this thread. I will repost need as long as I am able.

As the holiday season approaches, and temperatures drop, mutual aid is going to become more important.

Consider giving what you can. If you can't, repost.

that "Their brains worked less, but they 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.” jumped out at me. and just feels like such a capturing of current times. reminds me of watching a movie or TV show while second-screening — you 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 just as engaged, but are probably missing a similar 47%
“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵
