Cool walls at Spokesman Coffee. ☕️

Another possible rule for journalism. Employ new kind of op-ed writer. Appointed to a two-year weekly column, where they expose flaws in stories that have appeared in the publication, either news or editorial. They should have expertise in areas your publication covers. They...

Since I’ve been constantly criticial of The Times and its coverage of the election, here is a thread from the socials in which I note a Sunday morning of positive coverage of Kamala Harris leading the paper online: Well knock me over with a bald eagle feather: The Times leads today with positive coverage of Kamala Harris. […]

The post Could a new day dawn at The Times? appeared first on BuzzMachine.

Mid-sized companies: Small enough to have small budgets, big enough for bureaucratic nightmares.

Journalism is very important part of how our country works yet there is no accountability, no checks and balances, no requirement of transparency. There isn’t even a mechanism to disagree with them. most of the time they have the only voice. We don’t even know what they’re trying to do, what their goals are.

Pretty happy with how the new editor for Micro.blog is coming along. I’m going to ship it Monday. It’ll be enabled when starting a new post, editing a post, and for replies. Not yet for CSS or theme editing. Screenshot here for a quick reply… Notice better highlighting, preview toggle, toolbar.

I would almost add a rule that journalists should have respect for critics, we'll save that for the rules of 2030 if there is any journalism left.

John Goodman explains what to do if you get ahead by $2.5 million.

On a hot June evening in 1964, Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman were ambushed by the Ku Klux Klan and killed as they left town.

The atrocity became a seminal moment in the civil rights movement. Yet 60 years after the killings, some people in Philadelphia worry that the country is forgetting what was learned along the way. Others wonder what the past is owed — and for how long. They talked with Susan Levine this spring about their community’s painful legacy of racism.

No more lies in news, that's the first new rule of journalism. We've had to live with a journalism that tries to give lies equal stature to actual news, but the two just don't mix. What happens if your news is half lies, the users don't believe anything you carry. This was predicted, in 2016 when it was clear that Putin's Russia was heavily influencing American journalism. They had developed their techniques in Ukraine in previous years, and the Ukraine press and government came to the same conclusion we're now arriving at -- stop at the first lie, turn the microphone off. That's the main rule, main change that has to take place now, in advance of the November election. They may not do it, but at least now we all understand that what they're doing is stupid, wrong, even corrupt. No matter what they don't get to keep their rep if they are laundering lies.

Posted a new Core Intuition, this week covering the latest App Store news with new linking entitlement rules and in-app purchase in Patreon. We also talk about my upcoming Markdown text editor change in Micro.blog.

Thank you for reading the NY Times so I don't have to.

Nice blog post on Writing Slowly about using notes in Micro.blog and getting set up with Strata for iOS.

Watch out when reporters say something said on their air or in their pub is "misleading." What they really mean is someone just lied in their space. Heard it just now on NPR after a Republican was using "talking points" that were "misleading." Of course lies are misleading, b...

Annoyed by yesterday’s server problem. Essentially one of our servers was accepting incoming connections, but it couldn’t connect to another server to verify domain names for SSL certs. The whole point of having Hugo-based static blogs is to minimize dependencies, but there’s always something.

Three of our favorite segments from the week, in case you missed them.

Walz's Climate Record (First) | Ask Governor Murphy: August Recap (Starts at 41:24) | 100 Years of 100 Things: The Jersey Shore (Starts at 01:10:45)
