Beary strange: A patrol car was struck by a falling bear in California last weekend. The deputy escaped without serious injury and the animal "fled the scene." https://t.co/nJMoa40bRs #odd

Heading to the cinema this school holiday? You won't want to miss @CrazyRichMovie, a long overdue Chinese story told by Chinese people and a marker of cultural change, writes Media Professor @shermanyoung.

This stopped me in my tracks at @Newseum today. In 1965, American media was ill-equipped to deal with a changing world due to a lack of diverse journalists. This industry is still grappling with that.

G’day @VirginAustralia,

Gold frequent flyer here. Your lounges play @SkyNewsAust who tonight invited an anti-Semite who says Mein Kampf should be mandatory school reading, celebrates Hitler’s birth & promotes violence against women.

Your customers shouldn’t have to watch this.

[Reezy Miller @Trixie_Boo]

Hi @Qantas, I fly Business, I make use of your Business Class Lounges but I cannot abide the 24/7 broadcasting of @SkyNewsAust. You know they hosted Nazi Blair Cottrell tonight? Not good enough.

Hot tip: it’s way easier to write about non-Anglo migrants as an abstract issue if your newsroom doesn’t hire any.

[Karishma Vyas @KarishmaTV]

When I sent this article to a few Australian editors for consideration, this was the response from one: “Karishma, Those words don't work for me. I wouldn't publish them. They are a bit self-indulgent...” Luckily the @smh felt differently. https://t.co/OXaXZXGvQB

I agree, @jasonyatsenli — the debate about foreign influence must not disenfranchise Chinese Australians, or undermine trust in our multicultural society https://t.co/2kocGGxaW7

[Josh Butler @JoshButler]

I never thought I'd read a journalist advocating for "yeah you should get things correct, but don't get them TOO correct because it offends me for some reason" but here we are in the age of stupidity where everything is a culture war https://t.co/iYnBHV8KAW

The Holocaust was legal. Slavery was legal. Segregation was legal.

The brave woman who cared for and hid my 6 year-old aunt in an attic in Budapest was a criminal. She broke the law by sheltering Juden.

Legality is not a guide for morality.

We must fight the privatisation of the ABC. Our national broadcaster is for the people, not for profit https://t.co/R89jOiKP4X via @smh

This sums up for me the separation between the academic world and the practitioner world. Where is the user in this? Why do we build stuff in the first place? https://t.co/lwyUUNx1Sm
