What digital media taught me is that since the internet began to decimate journalism in the late 90’s every 5-8 years something pops up to “save” it and gets a ton of funding before crashing and the trick is to ride the wave when the money is there and jump off before the fall

this new genre of CEO layoff messaging where they talk about how much they fucked up has gotta be the most infuriating ... might as well be that ceo on LinkedIn crying about having to lay people off

isnt the problem with this that reporting the news straight gets interpreted as liberal bias and then you automatically lose the so-called independents

I'm convinced that James Cameron had early access to ChatGPT and used it to write, storyboard, and direct #AvatarTheWayOfWater . i will not be convinced otherwise.

"This is a feminist movement. All the talk about intersectional feminism, Third World Women, and Global South solidarity is here, in this movement and on the ground," writes a pseudonymous Iranian artist @artnews. More here: bit.ly/3LPZ0es #IranProtests2022 #mahsamini

great thread but suspicious of the idea that (a) recc feeds mean "highest quality" content wins any more than in social media, or (b) what socio-political/cultural power we cede and what narratives will be prioritized when we let tech cos decide *even more* what we see/don't see
1/ I wrote about platforms' shift away from friend graphs and towards recommendation feeds, marking the death of Social Media as we know it. Here's why social can't compete in an algorithmic world. mignano.medium.com/the-end-o…

side question: in the wider debate of whether platforms are responsible for the content posted there, doesn't recc feeds make them *more* responsible, because there is an active choosing of what to program (even if by algorithm)
