But let's be clear: this would shift responsibility away from platforms like Instagram onto app stores, while forcing widespread age ID checks that create a massive privacy invasion for young people: www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

- Reposted by Stephanie CarvinBreaking character: The changes at WaPo and CBS are not ones that make economic sense. They're about hating liberals, they're about some media higher-ups hating their mostly liberal audience. It's that simple.
- Reposted by Stephanie Carvinalways bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post
- Reposted by Stephanie CarvinJeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.
- Reposted by Stephanie CarvinINBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.
- Reposted by Stephanie CarvinGood example of what an institution the size of WaPo can do that is very difficult to replace. Local, worker-owned publications & nonprofits do excellent accountability work but I don’t imagine any could set up an ME bureau, with staff across the region, logistics, legal and security support, etc

- Reposted by Stephanie Carvin“The Post's challenges, however, were made infinitely worse by ill-conceived decisions that came from the very top—from a gutless order to kill a presidential endorsement 11 days before the 2024 election to a remake of the editorial page that now stands out only for its moral infirmity.“
- Reposted by Stephanie CarvinAside from the fact that the Post’s financial crisis is completely manufactured by its owner, we’ve now experienced about 15 straight years of heavy newspaper layoffs. I don’t have anything insightful to say, I’m just really fucking sad.

- Reposted by Stephanie CarvinFor basically my entire adult life, Mandelson has been resigning from one job after another in distinctly unedifying ways. The fact he keeps being rehired presumably shows he's very good at something and I'd be interested to read a brief summary of what exactly that is. Does anyone know?

- Reposted by Stephanie CarvinTrump is working hard to set/reinforce a frame that connects immigration, financial fraud, & election fraud. He and the right wing propaganda machine will keep producing “evidence” to fit this frame, then use it to justify attempts to suppress voters, kick voters off rolls, and delegitimize results.
- Trump: "Minnesota is a mess. There's something in the water up there. I won the 3 three times but I got no credit for it. It's a rigged state. Really rigged badly w/ the Somalians, and the Somalians & the theft. We gotta get 'em out, most of them. 92% don't work. Many of them drive Mercedes-Benzes."
