this is a genuinely unsettling thing to see an NYT writer say. it's essentially an uncontested fact that in the social media era, large majorities of people don't read past the headline.

kate conger@kateconger.com

also, with love, I think people ascribe too much power to headlines. I see this discourse that seems to assume that, if the headline was different, it would somehow be a KO to make the subject of the story act different? but when subjects call to complain about a story, it's almost always a detail.

Notice that they suddenly discover that active voice when it's a cop that's murdered. If a cop had deliberately run over a civilian it would be all "A traffic-related fatality occurred when a man was struck by a vehicle which contained a police officer."

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

without section 230, you could have a world where bluesky is liable for me calling this man a clueless, tech illiterate, fascist enabling motherfucker

Senator Dick Durbin@durbin.senate.gov

It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.

i like the fox ad where they only highlight one color because fox only highlights one side of the story

this is beginning to have aged poorly :( must block more

i love how safe it is to just follow anyone you encounter here

really wish you could report an account for only posting horrific content. the account at issue below has only posted animal cruelty; no one should have to click into that stuff to appropriately report it. seems like a quick win to expand the scope of “posts unwanted content” at the account level?

This post is unavailable.

Also, new folks, please know that when it comes to trolls, jerks, chuds and other undesirables here in the sky, we subscribe to the idea of “Don’t Engage, Just Block.” The block function is superpowered and expunges them entirely from your timeline. They hate it! Block with wild abandon! Don’t wait!

You are up to date.
