This. "What if a leader just plain blurted out on national television that he despises our allies, rejects treaties, and regards a foreign adversary as a personal friend? What if he did it again and again? Human beings get used to anything. But this?" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Every time I open my box of dongles, I think, “Wow, a bunch of these are obsolete,” then close the box and stuff it back in the closet.

Happy New Year from the not-at-all snowy North. I wish you peace.

And if anyone is interested in just the Duluth News Tribune folks, their starter pack is here: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Regina McCombs @reginajmc.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

Thanks! I have a bunch of those folks on the list, but will add more. I didn't add all the APM folks because they aren't necessarily reporting ON Minnesota, but willing to discuss...

So, I created a starter pack of Minnesota journalists. It's missing a lot of people, so let me know if I should add you! go.bsky.app/PPf9kfd

I think because it’s on the east side of the Mississippi, that is correct. Although the address is SE Main St, but would seem weird to call it SE Mpls, wouldn’t it?

Broadcast and digital journalists (and educators), applications for the very-cool RIAS fellowship for two weeks in Germany in June are due Dec. 8. Trust me, you should apply: riasberlin.org/en/programs/. It's a terrific experience.

So you're looking for the saddest Christmas songs? I nominate "I think I just seen Elvis in the mildew on my walls," Benny Grunch, 12 Yats of Christmas.

I’d love to be part, if educators fit. The Minnesota Journalism Center just relaunched and we’re working on programs for journalists statewide. And @benjamintoff.bsky.social leads the MJC. And @journoscholar.bsky.social does research relevant to journos.
