The Alex Jones and Tim Dillon episode is one of the best ones ever, very sad they pulled it, at least it's still on youtube (for now).

always pay attention who you hire, especially in HR. Woke and activist HR hires woke and activist people, woke and activist people will cause you trouble and can wreck your whole ship. This is true for every industry but especially for medi

It's also a successful tactic, sadly, to just call everyone a racist, the worst thing you can call someone nowadays, and hope they cave. I'm simply not having it and will never engage in something like that.

This trope is everywhere now. I see this so often now where high profile substack writers are constantly being smeared as transphobic. It's a tactic, and defense and offense strategy and I'm tired of it. Can't take anyone ser

yeah, that bothered me too. If it's a pseudoscience then why should I care. I hate it when such campaigns with very concrete objectives try to drag everything possible into them. This inevitably muddies the water and leads to semantic

This behaviour is normalized for a while, the wall street journal wasn't an outlier back then, but now it seems to be also expected when working for big media outlets, just look at the recent Georgia debacle. Activists disguised as jou

Of course this will get weaponized, if it isn't already. We've seen time and time again that a vile old tweet in the wrong hands can be very powerful, it's a ticking time bomb. Think 5 or even 10+ years down the road, some of

In general, but the risk-reward ration is now way off, as the author of the article mentions, so why risk it if you potentially face harsh repercussions.

by snicksnak 5y ago
I think it's now essentially a risk-reward decision, like the author said. And the potential risk of being ousted after being accused of something weighs very high.

This trend isn't going away anytime soon, In fact I think it's just ramping up and is accelerating, especially with the racism narrative the main stream media outlets started to heavily push ~2 years ago and the big identity movem

> I use social media for information, not to be turned into a money-making asset for those I follow. can you describe what you use as sources of information on twitter? Can't be any traditional media outlets because they also want y

Pretty wild list of misrepresentations you have there, your points about Greenwald are downright slanderous. > Greenwald More Recently has been on shows of hard right people like Tucker Carlson He goes on his show because the other outle

Assange is in prison, possibly for life for the crime of making US war crimes public. Greenwald has 24/7 protection because his recent reporting exposed the corruption in Balsonaro's administration and lead to Lula being freed fro

That the government is trying to expand censorship and remove things it doesn't like is something I expect, of course, even if the extent of it surprises and deeply appals me. For me personally, however, it's the members of the c

The changes are pretty ridiculous [1], apparently the gobernment's devs kept deliberately renaming a specific header by adding and increasing a number at the end, from `xsrf-token` up to `xsrf-token11` [0], clearly only with the intend

i'm going out on a limb here and __speculating__ it's the identity of this person to fulfill some kind of quota, I can't explain it otherwise.

Jeez, that's disgusting and concerning to say the least. Wonder if this is another case of reddit admins went rogue or even sanctioned by reddit.

> I don't want the tactics of Kim Kardashian to be the model of a future journalist. Most mayor news outlets (including NYT) run branded/sponsored content. I doubt that you will see that on substack.

And who checks the fact checkers? Just 20 years ago the news media landscape was very different, the outlets had so much power, so much in fact, that they played a vital role in convincing the american public to go war. Totally unchecked. N

It is amazing how journalists from mayor outlets and even institutions have so much contempt for independent substack journalists. They think it's beneath them because somehow only working for those outlets gives their reporting legiti
