This is so great!!! And captures what so many of us are feeling, particularly women reporters!!! 🫠

Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:

Nah, just enough cooks.

Everything I’ve learned about RFK Jr. and Olivia Nuzzi has been against my will.

To paraphrase Warren Buffett, it’s only when the tide goes out that you learn who’s been swimming without a bathing suit

4x Garbage Day byline today from me, @bumas.bsky.social, @ellievhall.bsky.social, and @jlfeder.bsky.social.

Here's everything the Epstein emails reveal about how he and Steve Bannon tried to unravel global democracy: Epstein helped build MAGA. Has he blown it?

I’ve reported on so many regular people being threatened and villified by conspiracy theories and hatred for people, many times spread by MTG. It’s awful when anyone has to deal with harassment and threats and I wonder if the congresswoman can look inward, too

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

….

An absolute triumph for the "I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards" set.

Search her name on TikTok and buckle in. Right-wing moms love her.

No, we don’t spell it differently over here. This person just doesn’t know how to spell.

Everything I’ve learned about RFK Jr. and Olivia Nuzzi has been against my will.

Incredible things are happening on Facebook Marketplace:

It’s the best example of video game as art that I’ve ever experienced. It’s transcendent. Do not look up any information about it, just start it. Go into it blind. The prologue doesn’t take very long but it will hook you in and refuse to let you go.

ANDY YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT, IT’S SO GOOD

Why Elon Musk Needs Dungeons and Dragons to Be Racist The fantastical roots of “scientific racism”

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Hell yeah they do.

A more buttoned-up version of Garbage Day Read to the end for the soap ghost

I wrote about the TikTok social experiment that's gone super viral for @garbageday.email:

A woman is calling up religious organizations around the country and asking if they can provide her with a can of formula for her starving baby — the results are shocking. www.garbageday.email/p/a-more-but...

He told me he played the prologue, at least. BUT HOW DO YOU WATCH THE PROLOGUE WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY NEEDING TO KEEP PLAYING.

(Also, hello friend!)

I need more people to play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 because I have an almost pathological urge to talk about it.

(Cough, @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, cough cough)

I like how the caption on this photo reads as if he's making a claim that could not be independently verified.

What’s your take? Genuinely interested to hear it? (which is supposed to be the point of social media, after all)

As always, @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social nails it in his analysis of yesterday’s elections from the Very Online perspective:

Sorry to that man

I can feel it in my bones.

Tonight’s going to be a great night for #content.

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

Oh Jesus, Karen. Just seeing this now. I’m so sorry. Phoebe and I are sending love to you. ❤️

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA BEHOLD
