Episode 15: The Enshittification of Local Journalism (ft. Joanne McNeil) On the Zuckerberg Lens and Forever Followers and where we go from here

We had one of my all time favorite writers Joanne McNeil @jomc.bsky.social on outdoor cats about local journalism and organizing and how the internet we have is antagonistic to those things. My fav episode so far! www.worcestersucks.email/p/episode-15...

Oh just someone asserting that the concern trolling on federal funding being withdrawn from Worcester by a noted transphobe on City Council was "very reasonable", despite the actual city attorney already having sounded in to say that there's no legal basis for the concern.

"This is not a situation where the city put a tooth under its pillow expecting the tooth fairy to give it a reward," Angelini said.

OK but IT WAS LITERALLY THAT. They put a speculative development tooth under all of our pillow and expected the speculative developers to give us a reward.

Sean rose is going to run at large city council.  I am asking him to resign as chair of the WDCC (Worc Dem City Committee) so he has no conflict or favor. I appeal to him to resign. We don’t need current elected officials in these seats we need people that want to GROW the pool of candidates.

Worcester investigating 27 cops state says fast-forwarded mandatory online training In some instances, the agency said, online trainings that should take hours to complete were finished β€œin a matter of minutes.”

WBZ has reported that 70 officers from 11 municipalities are implicated in this cheating scandal. Another way to look at those numbers is that across the entire state, over ONE THIRD of the officers who cheated were Worcester cops.

The guy who spray painted another guys face at city hall last night (while the cops were for some reason not there) has donated to Mero-Carlson, Colorio, Toomey, Bergman, Petty, Russell…

β€œSo it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.

I've described their fundraising tactics, and not just Kamala's but the entire DNC's, as an abusive partner.

I don't know what the "Fight Fund" would be for because there's no fight.

Also just blatantly lying.

We don't need to count every vote anywhere to know that this campaign lost badly. You want my money to, what...figure out the 10th of a large percent you lost by? After you used funds like you did?

Here's two, and for difficulty one is a double album that is still perfect, not a wasted second.
