Today @FTC finalized a rule requiring that businesses make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up for one.

Gosh- hi y'all! Been a while. I moved to the mountains and live a regular country life now. Mostly grilling, fishing, gardening, felling trees and lovin on my dog when not at work. Swimming in a lake or river religiously every day. Last winter I got 4.5 ft of snow! It's been wild

This article is a great example on how the @nytimes coverage of Indigenous issues doesn’t meet the basic standards of journalism. This article grossly misrepresents what happened in the underlying custody cases and the people behind the lawsuit.

So now I've read like 5 articles on cheating at pro-fishing tournaments and it turns that polygraph tests are a really common way to catch cheaters https://t.co/HFhPUzkWWs - totally hooked on this story y'all 😬

@BigTobes48 @TaylorLorenz I’m really not immediately sure, but right off the bat I’ll say that headlines that draw on the most surprising detail aren’t helping when it comes to health communications

This is a mess — I remember when I was reporting on this such claims were labeled as misinformation. How do we reconcile?

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

A coronavirus vaccination can change the timing of when you get your period, according to research. For most people, the effect was temporary. https://t.co/ZURr6Yhz2P

@BigTobes48 @TaylorLorenz Yes, it moved from anecdotal to studied information. But that doesn’t change the challenge in messaging and potential for deepening distrust

[april glaser @aprilaser]

@BigTobes48 @TaylorLorenz Absolutely, but reconciling the new research with the former label of misinformation is a minefield for reporters striving for accuracy in an environment of eroding reader trust in media

1/6 We try to keep it light and fun here, but today we'd like to try and explain one of the biggest causes of frustration patrons face at the Accounts Desk: "My spouse has five books checked out, can you tell me what they are?" The answer? Simply? No.

We dug into the role of internet infrastructure companies like Cloudflare in deciding what does and doesn’t get to stay online — whether they like it or not.
