This might sound like a stretch but a lot of bigoted platforms got legitimized and rose to fame via the Heard/Depp trial. Trash YouTubers, grifter ā€˜lawyers’, streamers, podcasters, etc grew their platforms by leading pile ons against AH, then were able to expand beyond the trial.

I know everyone’s worried about what dudes are watching online rn but the gender war stuff is not limited to men. videos like this, which are all like, ā€œhey girlies, that man you’re dating is in his ā€˜feminine era’ bc he wants to split the checkā€ are everywhere and so regressive

We need to have an frank talk about what it means — for journalists, for activists, for SWers, for anyone criminalized — that the owner of this platform will become a government official. And what that means for DMs, bookmarks, burner accts— anything we thought of as "private"🧵

I've had a lot of thoughts over the past week, but I keep coming back to the fact that I've spent the last decade trying to explain to editors and newsrooms why covering the internet is important. And they didn't listen, so now we are here. passionfru.it/internet-cultu…

Production Assistants are the backbone of NBC News NOW, but many of us struggle to afford basic necessities like food, rent, and transportation. We’re issuing a clear demand to NBC News management today: pay us a fair wage NOW! (1/3)

A few weeks ago, I was informed I was being laid off from NBC News. I’d been on bereavement and medical leave, so it was a bit of a shock. After taking some time to reset, I am now open/looking for work both in and outside of journalism. Get in touch at [email protected].
