COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass. Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

This framing saddens me because it totally erases survivors who are sex worker rights activists. The “Equality Model” promoted by this org is the dangerous Nordic Model—deportation of undocumented SWers, coerced legal testimony from SWers, prohibition of SW safety resources, & surveillance of SWers.

Lots of important stuff but this specific bit is INCREDIBLY important and something I hope those all us who do some form of public communications and rely on the intensely difficult work of reporting hear drilled.media/news/media-b...
I have ranted about this before (see below), but I talk to far too many (educated! politically engaged!) people who tell me their top source of news is an influencer. And look, I don't have a problem with the existence of "newsfluencers"--if they are better at getting people to engage with the news, then great. What I do have a problem with is that people don't seem to get that those folks can't exist without real reporters doing the actual work of information gathering and analysis.

Like every other reporter I know, I can point to numerous occasions where an aspiring (and sometimes even successful) influencer has lifted my work, repackaged it and put it out as their own. In the very best case, they might cite the outlet the story came from. But what tends to happen in this scenario is that various members of the public will say some version of "that influencer is so much better than the 'mainstream' media," and increasingly opt to give their time, money and attention to the influencer. Nine times out of ten the information that person is sharing is not from a "legacy" outlet but from an independent one like ours, OR it's coming from one of the reporters at a legacy outlet that's still doing a really good job. In either case, like the tech bros before them, the influencers are lifting the benefits of the content without any of the responsibilities. They do not take on the legal, financial, or physical security risks required to get and share that information, they do not invest the months of reporting time or work with a fact-checker to make sure it's all accurate, nor do they have the years of experience on the beat to be able to connect the dots for people. And when they cut journalists out of the equation, it's not just for that moment in time--they're contributing to cutting those jobs forever.

I continue to think that one of the reasons this country is falling apart is the wholesale abandonment of public virtue as a broadly shared aspiration. Or even something people should be embarrassed about if they don’t have it.

There’s plenty of disinformation trying to blame the nascent offshore wind industry for whale deaths without evidence. Not only is that misleading, it also takes the focus away from solutions that might actually address the leading causes of death — vessel strikes and entanglement with fishing gear.

Whales are dying, but it’s not because of wind farms
Investigating a whale beaching is grueling work, and scientists see the same culprit again and again.

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe
A transcription of a conversation between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and podcast host Theo Von on Von's podcast, in an excerpt from the Atlantic article "AI is a mass-delusion event" by Charlie Warzel: 

"Sam Altman: I do guess that a lot of the world gets covered in data centers over time.

Theo Von: Do you really?

Altman: But I don’t know, because maybe we put them in space. Like, maybe we build a big Dyson sphere around the solar system and say, “Hey, it actually makes no sense to put these on Earth.”

Von: Yeah.

Altman: I wish I had, like, more concrete answers for you, but, like, we’re stumbling through this."
