The crowd would have cheered

I am back on social media to say that @marisakabas.bsky.social is great and it’s exciting to see her at #NN25.

Oh. I just saw this

There is more evidence behind the claim "JD Vance killed the pope" than there is behind the claim that any of the people renditioned to the slave camp in El Salvador are gang members.

PAC and ProNatalism Yes, they're all weirdos and the weirdos are in power

New from me: CPAC always highlights MAGA's weirdest freaks. What's terrifying is these people are in power. open.substack.com/pub/ctrlaltr...

This is what's happening at the Education Department right now. I don't care about bureaucracy, but I care about what we can do for students—and this is hurting students!

Big Tech Chose Violence Meta’s policy changes now make it easier to target marginalized groups with harassment.

Mark Zuckerberg's choices for the future of Meta have ramifications for all of us. New from me:

Musk post: “The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B. Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.”

Musk spent nearly $300 million to elect a president with a virulently anti-immigrant agenda and now is telling Trump’s anti-immigrant supporters to “FUCK YOURSELF in the face”

Unclear who Musk thought was voting for the guy who blamed immigrants for all of America’s economic problems

The Billionaires Strike Back Let’s talk about the billionaires backing Trump and the power over all of us they seek.

New from me: The billionaires who backed Trump expect to see a return on their investment. They want even more power over the rest of us. www.altrightdelete.news/p/the-billio...

Nobody was responding so I didn’t continue

My uber driver is quoting Tucker Carlson and asked me if I want to date one of his daughters.

You've probably already heard about the new Pew report about male creators making up two-thirds of news influencers. Another new creator labor study by Marita Freimane found that, when YouTube had metrics allowing users to show their dislike of videos, "female content creators received significantly more negative feedback on comparable content than male content creators." When the dislike metric was removed, "relative to men, women produce 8.4 percent more videos after the platform design change. The increase in productivity coincides with an even larger increase of 15.5 percent in demand for content produced by women." Women were literally making fewer videos, that fewer users saw, because users were discriminating against them so much. The internet is a workplace like any other, except this one doesn't have unions.

The “democratization” of media has given us a new creator economy where two-thirds of news influencers are men, at the same time that the legacy newsrooms they’re replacing had started achieving gender parity. 🤔

“Ladies, ladies. Calm down about this Kavanaugh appointment. They’re not going to overturn Roe. That’s ridiculous. Don’t be so hysterical.”

Journalists /editors need to frame better & we need to talk more about “if likely, then what’s our game plan”?

The Journey from Star Trek Generations to Picard's Final Season For the film's 30th anniversary, let's investigate the inextricable link between Generations and Picard's final chapter.

School District Postpones High School Production of THE LARAMIE PROJECT Hours Before Opening According to 12 News in Phoenix, Arizona, Cesar Chavez High School's production of 'The Laramie Project' was put on pause by Phoenix Union High School District.

Censoring plays like this is bad. High school theater is important and plays like this help the whole school learn about events like Matthew Shepard's murder. The district shutting it down is cowardice rooted in homophobia. www.broadwayworld.com/article/Scho...
