You have more money than God. But you want incentives to do good, moral things?

BREAKING: Israel Killed Al Jazeera Journalist Anas Al-Sharif Journalists in Gaza continue to be murdered in record numbers, while Western media outlets and reporters show little or no outrage.

Israel has killed 240+ journalists. People who'd cover a strike that killed their kids and go on to cover the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different.

How many more murders will it take for the mainstream media's cowardly fever to break?

You only kill journalists when you want to hide what you're doing.

This has always been my feeling. Plenty of problems with "gatekeepers" sure but not enough people realize the main alternative is just money and marketing

Israel kills Al Jazeera journalists in targeted Gaza City airstrike - Committee to Protect Journalists New York, August 10, 2025—The Committee to Protect Journalists is appalled to learn of the killing today of Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, camera operators Ibrahim Zaher and M...

An entire news crew working for Al Jazeera was killed by Israel as they sought to bring the world firsthand reporting from #Gaza.

Among them was prominent journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who had been previously smeared and threatened by the IDF.

i got a very thoughtful, personalized pitch from a "literary visibility consultant" recently. i went to google them and... nothing. zero. no website. no testimonials. no nothing.

pitching yourself as a "visibility consultant" to authors while being essentially invisible online is WILD.

Kicking out trans people was supposed to be about some shit about cohesion and the masculine warrior paradigm. This has no possible reason—even as *cover*—other than pure cruelty

The Polari Prize issued a statement saying it believes its longlistees can hold “different positions on substantive issues.” This is like long listing a racist with authors of color then telling everyone it’s a mere “different position on a substantive issue”. Trans people are a fact. Not an “issue”

Mamdani on Cuomo "conspiring" with Trump: "It is time for us to make clear that what this city deserves is a mayor who when he sees Donald Trump attacking the people of this city will stand up and fight back against that vision, who will not get on the phone with the architect of that vision."

this guy is what people pretend Gavin Newsom is

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.

It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

I really appreciate Bonnie Wright, Sean Biggerstaff, and David Tennant for continuing to be vocal. David is doing well, but Bonnie and Sean are not as well known and they continue to make their positions clear.
