For @prismreports, I wrote about prison telecom companies donating to nonprofits, particularly but not exclusively, charities focused on at-risk youth and communities impacted by incarceration. Thread🧵

My issue is moreso with Substack than the individual writers, because Substack likes to throw these parties & for a while, they were fronting writers advances to start newsletters. They seem to be siphoning off of writers' talent & revenue without providing editorial support.

unfortunately, most indie writers grinding on substack cant afford the first three things

but yes, its journalistic standards that make someone like me work overtime to make sure those things are right in my work. i guess thats the difference between real journalists &careerists

[jourdain searles @judysquirrels]

voice actors out of work while people are using generative AI to make fake singers singing fake music… hate this world

[Tatiana Walk-Morris @Tati_WM]

You're right. Let's all just give up & bury our heads in the sand.

Bring back fact checkers is an extremely funny thing in an objectively post-truth society. We have fact checkers. It doesn’t matter

[Tatiana Walk-Morris @Tati_WM]

They've been criticized for platforming hate speech on the app. But they don't want to actually intervene in what writers post, because they don't want the responsibility of being a publisher. I get why they don't, but it leaves writers holding all the weight, which feels unfair

[coffee&books @lefty_md]

💯‼️

[Tatiana Walk-Morris @Tati_WM]

For the love of God, bring back fact-checkers. Bring back copy editors. Bring back public editors. Bring back standards. Everybody tighten TF up.

“It’s okay to get some facts wrong,” one writer said. “It’s honestly refreshing.” https://t.co/uAyigUlC9U

Just gave an interview where I argued that even though your university is telling you otherwise, you should NOT use AI to write your grant applications!

[Tatiana Walk-Morris @Tati_WM]

Good. It shouldn't cost that much.

GOOD. I’m sick of her whole family. Y’all may have forgotten Paris using racist and anti-semitic slurs but real pop culture heads remember

The meltdown at ‘60 Minutes’ has transfixed the media world this week, as Bari Weiss fired deeply respected staffers and correspondents, installed broadcast-news outsider Nick Bilton as the show’s executive producer, and sparked a messy standoff with Scott Pelley, who grilled his new boss and accused Weiss of “murdering” the show — all before being shown the door himself. A pointed termination letter, along with a stream of good-bye emails, statements, and rebuttals, have laced the saga with claims of insubordination, incompetence, and bias toward the Trump administration.

To Steve Kroft, who spent three decades at ‘60 Minutes’ before retiring in 2019, the show, “as the audience has known it, no longer exists.”

“They’ve made it clear — they being the new management, Bari Weiss and David Ellison — that they want to go to a completely different format, model, call it what you want,” he says. Kroft is not sure, precisely, what 60 Minutes will look like when it resumes: “It seems almost impossible for me to imagine what kind of a show they can put on in September.”

Now, why would y'all be messing with the mummies at a time like THIS????

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Scientists found yeast growing inside the guts of a frozen mummy for thousands of years.

They used it to create a “very, very good” sourdough bread. https://t.co/WmLfBroRIz

You can spend years of your life building up a brand, fostering trust with audiences & snapping up awards—all for bad management to come in and rip it apart. Incredible. https://t.co/Z3wxw6kY2T
