#timcast — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #timcast, aggregated by home.social.

  1. So I have various sources for news, all the news I post from @realcaseyrollins and @realcaseyrollins is downstream from that. I usually have one source for news, one source for entertainment, and one source for tech stuff. My lineup used to be this:

    #TheVerge

    #FoxNews

    #Deadline

    But #TheVerge is highly sensational, for terminally online #X / #Twitter addicts and by terminally online #X / #Twitter addicts. It’s not like they do particularly bad journalism (although it is slanted), but they get easily distracted by small stories, if they make #ElonMusk mad. Like, if #Twitter didn’t exist, and neither did that subculture, far fewer people would be interested in that website’s articles.

    I’ve since switched to #Engadget, which, while more boring, seems to have a more general appeal and I think gives a better picture of what’s going on across all sectors of the tech world.

    #FoxNews isn’t that bad, and I don’t mind their journalism writ large, but their front page is a travesty compared to what it used to be, focusing too much on incendiary headlines and not enough on important issues and stories. I switched to #LiveNowFromFox for a bit, but many of the #Kbin users who saw my posts summarily dismissed everything from there because, well, it’s still #FoxNews at the end of the day.

    I actually ended up switching to #TimPool’s website, #Timcast. Unlike the vast majority of news publications, they actually post the raw sources of their stories when possible. So I share the raw sources and get less stigma on #Kbin, and also more accurate stories, because while #Timcast isn’t awful, I’d still assume that it’s somewhat opinionated and biased.

    And the last one is easy, I’ve replaced #Deadline with #TheHollywoodReporter after #Deadline was caught lying about #WritersStrike and #ActorsStrike picketers on #Twitter.

  2. If you thought RussiaGate escalated into braindead conspiracy theories, just wait until you hear about ChinaGate.

    Complete soopbrain logic...

  3. In his #Kanye walkout response today, #TimPool #Timcast gives the example of #Vice Media as a 'not controlled by jews' media company. Cites Shane Smith, an Irishman, as owner, while omitting #Disney, #Soros, and several others.
