SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

Natalie Harp is so obsessed with Trump! She aired Trump‘s 2016 stump speeches in their entirety, she treats all his social media posts as major breaking news, even when he insults her, she invites him to speak at a big annual dinner…oh wait, sorry, I got her confused with mainstream corporate media.

We're all being made to have this use-case of the *technology* in our lives, and at the end of the day all we get to do about it is hate it. Because, the arguments against it are blatantly ignored by so many people. Particularly by the people with the power to mitigate the damage "AI" can do. 4/5

Ezra-

Your piece on the death of Charlie Kirk was reckless, insulting, condescending, and worst of all, a piece of hagiography. For someone who claims to honor history and context in your work, it reads as if it was written by someone who respects neither of those things. 

What does it mean to practice politics in the "right way"? For whom does a "taste for disagreement" benefit? Certainly not the vulnerable populations—trans people, Black women, and more—who Kirk routinely targeted with hate speech and calls for violence. 

When I was a college intern at NBC News Washington in 2008, I would watch your MSNBC appearances on the monitor in our office. At that point I could only dream of having a platform like yours, which has grown exponentially since then. Now that I have a platform (albeit it much, much smaller than yours) and I couldn't fathom using it to gaslight the country into believing a hateful man stood for a public good. Maybe it's time to consider how you're using yours.

Getting variations of a response that is all too common but so false it verges on conspiracy theory: That the public *wants* to care, but the media won't let them. The assumption is that audiences are passive receptacles and only care about what the all-powerful media tells them to care about.
