#journalism — Public Fediverse posts

Friday I talk the week through out loud, starting with the arithmetic of a primary that cost somebody sixty-five million dollars to lose.

It goes out on a server I own and pay for, first. Not a platform's room. Mine.

What do you want me to actually chew on Friday? Come by and tell me. I listen.

The thing I couldn't fit in 800 words this morning is what sixty-five million dollars actually buys, and who it buys it from.

Be a part of something really crucial!

By any means we must stand against these Acts and Bills.

They are huge alarming, and outright freedom-crushing bills, laid in front of our plain sight. These bills will do more harm than good while evading your privacy and fundamental rights.

Fight for the cause, it will take only 5 minutes:

Stormé DeLarverie fought the police outside the Stonewall Inn. Casa Susanna opened in the Catskills so trans women could live openly for a weekend. Vito Russo counted a century of erased queer film and published the count.

Every one of them was told they were the wrong person, in the wrong room, at the wrong moment. Every one of them stayed in the room.

Hundreds of homemade signs in the stands behind her. Markers from kitchen drawers. Nobody convened them, they just came.

Not one of those decisions was cinematic. That is the only kind that has ever moved this country an inch.

Who put something on the line this week where you could see it?

A basketball coach with a roster, a front office, and a job to protect walked into the loudest night of the WNBA's season wearing four words: Trans Kids Belong.

Then she stood in a hallway and told reporters flat that the innuendo about trans women being predators is simply not what is happening. She named the framing itself as the problem.

$65 million of outside money went at Abdul El-Sayed. $30M of it AIPAC alone. He won Michigan by a point.

Then he found a camera and said it straight at Mike Rogers: we are coming for you.

New Deep Dive:

Iranian-linked hackers hit water systems in 7+ states this summer — no ransom, just disruption.

At the core: a known, unpatched Rockwell PLC vulnerability sitting in thousands of exposed U.S. systems since 2021.

Federal agencies call it an urgent Iran-affiliated threat. Trump blamed Minnesota instead.

We dig into the tech, the timeline, and the disconnect.

In France, center/right wing #journalism is so deeply biased against environment: instead of climate emergency, they are wondering aloud "who are those who still oppose farright?"

Same guys spent decades saying GIEC was "alarmist", that envinronment policies are "punitive", taking economy "hostage"

“Lawyers’ statement on Miller’s anti-Zionism win shows Bristol appeal smashed”

“The EAT [Employment Appeals Tribunal] held that his [Miller’s] anti-Zionist beliefs constitute a protected belief under the Equality Act 2010 (EqA); he was dismissed because he manifested those beliefs and as the dismissal was tainted by discrimination, he was unfairly dismissed.

This means that it is unlawful to discriminate against someone because they hold those [Anti-Zionist] beliefs. The successful appeal outcome reinforces that controversial beliefs are not excluded from protection under the EqA simply because they generate complaints or public controversy”
