I’m an elderly lefty, living in South West England who’s looking for a nice place in the fediverse where I can share/ learn/ politely disagree etc with others & (occasionally) vent my frustrations & concerns about the parlous state of the world that my grandkids are growing up in! When I’m not “doom scrolling” I enjoy gardening, bird watching, bread baking & being the best granddad I can be.

“Western media platforms that display a tenacity to hold onto a relationship of ‘baaskap’ with consumers are among many cowards within the journalist fraternity who regularly ‘#sanitize’ Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
“‘#Baaskap’ refers to a racist political philosophy prevalent during #SouthAfrican #apartheid, akin to #colonial ‘#overlordship’ – both exercising supremacy, power and control”

Leaving X.
German parties leaving, collectively, is more than a symbolic exit. It is a chance to reassess how and where political communication happens.
A platform’s relevance is not inherent. It is constructed through user behavior. And when influential users walk, the relevance begins to erode.

I Reached Out to the White House Counterterrorism Czar for Comment. He Lashed Out on X.

Sebastian Gorka accused a ProPublica reporter of writing a “putrid piece of hackery” about him. Here’s how basic beat reporting led to a broader story about the state of the U.S. counterterrorism mission at a critical moment.

Two local men promised to build housing with a 3D printer. That didn’t pan out.
When reporter Molly Parker started to investigate what went wrong, she found the printer disassembled on a flatbed truck at a country repair shop.
Then things got weird.

What would it take to get photo journalists and video journalists on the Fediverse?
They can keep using Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc, too.
But, what would it take to ALSO get them here?

Whilst we're there, we'll be hosting a lunch alongside @bjoernsta@eimsbuettel.social from Save Social for anyone and everyone interested in combining efforts to make the #SocialWeb a new home for journalism.
This will be a great opportunity to showcase the Social Web to the people who could benefit most which we hope will build some weight behind the Social Web movement.

Media association condemns ‘violent assault’ on CNN crew by Israeli soldiers
"An international media association has condemned what it described as a “violent assault” by Israeli soldiers who detained a CNN crew in the occupied West Bank this week.
A CNN team was reporting on the aftermath of an assault by Israeli settlers and the establishment of an illegal outpost near the Palestinian village of Tayasir on Thursday when it was detained by Israeli soldiers, the Foreign Press Association said on Saturday.
“The soldiers aggressively targeted the crew and Palestinian civilians present, pointing their rifles at them,” the FPA said, even after the journalists identified themselves.
“The soldiers repeatedly tried to infringe the CNN crew’s right to film, ordering the crew to stop filming and threatening to confiscate the camera.
“Later, an IDF soldier approached CNN’s photojournalist from behind, placed him in a chokehold, slammed him to the ground and damaged his camera,” said the association, which represents hundreds of journalists in Israel and Palestine."

Kiitos, Long Playn perjantaikirje uudesta (tai ehkä se on ollut olemassa jo pidemmän aikaa…) mediasta, nimeltään The Nerve. Viiden, aiemmin Guardianissa ja Observerissä työskennelleen naisen perustama. Tilasin kaksi kertaa viikossa tulevan sähköpostin ja luin jo yhden jutun, Tony Blairin Lähi-itä-messiasmissiota ja Big Tech- ja Trump-suhteita koskevan.
Virkistävää, joskin myös masentavaa.
”The Nerve is a fearless, female-founded media title set up by a collective of five former Guardian and Observer journalists who believe that the UK needs more truly independent journalism.”
