Jen Mustapha @jhmustapha.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The degree and frequency with which I have to remind my (retired journalist) southeast asian dad that the majority of stuff he gets forwarded on WhatsApp is actually A.I. slop, cannot be overstated 🤦🏻♀️ 010
Jen Mustapha @jhmustapha.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Indeed. And don’t forget WhatsApp 🙃… a huge source of discussion/information/disinformation all over the non-Anglophone world. 110

Jen Mustapha @jhmustapha.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I did elaborate further in a follow up. I actually agree with you. And I’ve *also* been generally appalled at the state of both social media algorithms and news outlets for good information. It’s a shit show out there. And yes, journos get way too much of their leads from what bubbles up on socials. 110
Jen Mustapha @jhmustapha.bsky.social · 10/10/2026To be clear I share your concerns re: Americans in general not being aware of stuff out of their bubbles/ news outlets being problematic. As a Canadian tho we’ve already experienced a news embargo through socials & it has made me realize I was relying too much on SM as my main source of news 090
Jen Mustapha @jhmustapha.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I never go on X anymore even though I have an account still… but I *have been following what is happening in India because I follow news/ subscribe to a variety of journalistic sources. I feel like this is a reminder that getting news mainly/only from social media has always been problematic. 2231

Jen Mustapha @jhmustapha.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Literally just posted this myself. The un-diplomatic behaviour or the US Ambassador has been atrocious. I understand the difficult costs of escalating tensions by expelling him.. but mollifying him for this long comes at a cost too. The basic rules of diplomacy should matter more than ever. 1128

Jen Mustapha @jhmustapha.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It was finding out about P!nk’s comportment in all of this that had me crying into my nostalgic CD collection last week. But as we note of course- small disappointments in comparison to genocide and war crimes. Sigh. 110
Jen Mustapha @jhmustapha.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Finding out P!nk is a G-denier was the heartbreak for me. Never cared much for Ed’s music, personally. The real heartbreak though, as we all note, is what is happening to the Palestinian people. 020
