i love this; connie chung was my first boss, owned the newspaper in montana i worked for, and she’s a super awesome woman who is also hilarious and kind and thoughtful and would always bring us food when she stopped by. her legacy is incredible, she’s a true powerhouse.

I thought I liked this story by @conniewang — but when I started crying at the part where all the Connies meet their namesake Connie Chung at the story’s photo shoot, I realized I LOVED it

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is more than double the size of the original game. It has long, engaging side missions that feed into the main story. I mainlined the story in 60 hours and I’m not even close to half finishing it.
This will take up my 2023.

Amber Heard isn’t allowed to write about being a survivor of sexual assault and abuse and has incurred the totality of society’s wrath while Donald Trump is able to parade the narrative he lost a defamation suit to yesterday as the crowd laughs and cheers.

I would argue that ‘making news’ is not our job; holding power to account is. And on that measure, the town hall last night was a complete and utter failure.

"You do not have to like the former president's answers, but you can't say that we didn't get them," Licht tells staffers, many of whom are angry about the town hall. "Kaitlan pressed him again and again and made news. Made a LOT of news." And "that is our job."

cnn and the national media continue to fail at covering trump bc he’s good for business. they need each other. it’s sick. it’s not journalism. see the nyt for example.
Quote Tweet
Covering Trump is "tricky and messy," Licht says, and it will "continue to be messy and tricky, but it's our job." He confidently says "America was served very well by what we did last night." Many CNN employees strongly disagree.

it's wild to me that journalists don't understand that hyperbolic circling of wagons anytime one of our friends does something poorly/dumb - these Trumpian declarations like "A better job has never been done in the history of moderating!" - undermines our collective credibility

CNN became a party to Trump's need to psychologically "undo" his defeat by getting the audience to applaud him *for being an assaulter.* The more approval authoritarians get, the more they feel emboldened to be even more lawless. This is why this "town hall" was so dangerous.
Quote Tweet
I hate that @CNN allowed E. Jean Carroll’s name to be dragged through the mud again by this terrible man. Sure she could sue him for defamation again. That doesn’t change the hurt & humiliation at the laughter, and at the knowledge that CNN was willing to expose her to this.

wasn’t a regular reader of heather armstrong’s work, but i hate the term “mommy blogging” for a lot of reasons — one of them is flattening women’s lives into categories that don’t count the same as “real writers.” and what she did was more complex than simply write a blog.

it’s also weird that when you’re falling it feels simultaneously like you can’t do anything and like it’s the slowest thing ever as you feel every potential injury on the way down but that’s a different concern

the fact that CNN is now Fox News Lite, and a fascist Afrikaner blew $44 billion to turn Twitter into stormfront, tends to demonstrate how important right-wingers think control of the media is

This #CNNTownhall makes me feel the way I felt the morning of 11/9/2016 when I realized just how many Americans find Trump's flagrant dishonesty and bigotry appealing.

Me: No, humans can’t smell it.

What's a tweet that's so canonical in your mind you make shorthand reference to it, even if people might not know what you're talking about? (I sometimes just say "uh oh y'all it's gettin' kinda hazy" expecting people to get it)

The court ruled in favor of Evan Rachel Wood and struck several elements of Marilyn Manson’s defamation claims against her, including some of the widely-scrutinized claims around forging an FBI letter and “recruiting” other victims with a checklist/script.
