A considerable portion of my life has been wasted trying to print documents. Very upsetting.

lol at whoever designed this study. Genius.

Lede from the story posted: "more than half of the men surveyed in a new harvard study claimed to recognize AI leaders who were, in fact, totally fictional."

From @niemanreports.org Fox News attacks the media roughly every 15 minutes, our study finds. (CNN? Every 140 minutes.) Full story: www.niemanlab.org/2026/10/fox-...

Bar chart titled “Figure 1: Inter-Journalism Disparagement Per 1,000 Words.” It compares how often three US cable news networks disparage other journalists. Fox has the highest rate at 0.415 instances per 1,000 words, about once every 14.5 minutes. MSNBC follows at 0.098, about once every 61 minutes, and CNN has the lowest rate at 0.043, about once every 140 minutes. Fox’s rate is roughly four times MSNBC’s and nearly ten times CNN’s. A note says 1,000 words equals 6 minutes of airtime. (Generated with AI)

Turning state violence into a public spectacle is a very fascist move BTW.

And it'll take many, many years to rebuild.

Screenshot of the story: “It’s always two steps forward, one step back, but this time it feels like two steps back,” says Gloria Calderón Kellett, creator of the Prime Video series With Love. “It feels like four steps back, if I’m honest.”

Really important story, and will not be surprised when we get the same statistics for newsrooms as well.

You won’t have to, from the post: “We can’t use our local swimming pool without stress. Public bathrooms are a potential source of aggression. I’ve been screamed at to get out of toilets [..] I can’t see a safe, secure and dignified future for my daughter in the UK.”

Insane fact: "An anecdote I often share is that on Jan. 6, 2021, the top-performing story on Business Insider was an explainer I wrote about a viral TikTok hoax that Jeffree Star and Kanye West were in a sexual relationship. Yes, that day, it outperformed our coverage of the insurrection."

Kat Tenbarge is one of the best at deconstructing online narratives, like the "ongoing, conservative-driven obsession with mocking trans and gender non-conforming people." The recent Boston Globe story is a great example. A non-story that drives conversions while harming the community it's about.

Finding vulnerable people who are easy to hate is the anti-trans movement’s not-so-secret weapon.

If the sharp decrease in tolerance for gay rights among Dutch youth would be mainly because of "the manosphere" and "far-right parties" than why don't we see a similar development in the U.S., where both are (much) worse... Is there something specifically Dutch? 🧵

This can be a game changer for growth. Don't just take my word for it. Here's what journalists who helped us develop Bundle Passes and ran campaigns with us had to say:

Audiences love this. They get to discover a whole lot of great journalism at a great price and without any risk. You add lots of new people to your list who've already proven to you that they're happy to pay for journalism.

Michaël Jarjour @jarjour.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

The moment someone buys, they get access to your publication, and you get their email address. And you get paid — as much as running the sale yourself: the bundle price is the sum of everyone's discounted prices. You just reach many more people: your collaborators' audiences in addition to yours.

Michaël Jarjour @jarjour.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Invite one or two journalists you want to team up with. They join your bundle and pick their tier. Then you all promote a single link where people buy access to all your publications at once. Here's an example of what that looks like:

Michaël Jarjour @jarjour.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Sign up on trustfnd.com and connect your Ghost or Beehiiv publication. It takes only a few minutes. Pick the tier you want to offer, set a length for the Pass (how long people get access), and choose a discount. Now you're ready to bundle.

Michaël Jarjour @jarjour.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

With the midterms coming up, a lot of indie journalists are setting up Bundle Passes. It's the best way for anyone on Ghost or Beehiiv to get their paywalled journalism in front of all-new people. So let me re-introduce what a Bundle Pass is — and how you can create one of your own 🧵

Michaël Jarjour @jarjour.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I see this at work, too. You can use AI to inform your conversations in a cross-functional team. But a PM can also use AI to not talk to engineers, designers, or researchers and have AI do their work (PMs who code or design 🙄). Bad idea and toxic for collaboration.

Now you can easily spot who you can bundle paid publications with. Anyone on Ghost, Beehiiv, and Steady can offer time-limited access to a bundle of paid publications. Discover who's already there in our Collaborators tab, look out for the Bundle Pass compatible badge. Pay nothing unless you grow.

Just shipped a tiny new label that shows which other journalists use a platform that supports Bundle Passes, Ghost, Beehiiv, or Steady.

Card of @tubetalkmedia in the new Collaborators tab. It shows a small label that reads 'Bundle Pass compatible' with the icon of the publishing platform Beehiiv.

In den Leitartikeln/Talkshows der nächsten Tage werdet ihr viel von „Populismus“ hören – als Versuch der Mitte, Rechtsaußen und Linke quasi gleichzusetzen. Lasst euch den Blick nicht vernebeln: Erkenntnisgewinn dieser Rhetorik geht gegen null. Menschenfeindliche Politik lässt sich konkret benennen.
