I wrote about the rise and future of the #BuildInPublic movement, and the role that the social construct of "authenticity" plays. - for Meridian blog and magazine mercury.com/blog/buildin...

The pros and cons of building in public
Choosing to “build in public” can indicate transparency and authenticity to potential customers. For founders deciding whether or not it’s worth doing, the signals are less clear.

I watched the Jubilee video "1 Black Conservative vs 20 Black Liberals" and, ignoring politics, some things the subject was unaware of (origins of race, policing, medical racism, etc.) are explained in "Relics of Racism." I also just updated the Language sec vincedixonportfolio.com/2025/02/24/c...

I'm old enough to remember when Biden gave a prime time speech on the rise of extremism and collapse of democracy, but major networks flat-out refused to air it. Today, a couple are airing an ambiguous Trump speech presumably sharing election conspiracies. www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...

As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
Broadcasters NBC, CBS and ABC usually air presidential prime-time addresses live. But they found Biden's Philadelphia speech more "political" than newsworthy.

Not surprised BB has reignited its X (or the comments by its employees). CBS/Paramount is in a new era ATM. We've yet to see how much this era will completely affect BB. I'm still nervous about the cast reveal, given the quota changes, esp since I don't follow survivor. #BB28

I don't think I believe the current big #BB28 rumor because CBS has pretty much locked that season in a vault and have thrown away the key. I don't think they want people going back to watch it.... but who knows.

I've always suspected some ulterior motives, but was not expecting: "a signature strategy of leaders who exhibit narcissistic qualities. They see any kind of remote work as a threat to their authority and admiration. They want to be worshiped at the office altar." 🫢 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/o...

Was #Spirit ever really an "affordable" airline? The tickets were "cheap," but there were a ton of low-key upcharges for basic things when added up made the final price similar to other airlines. Unless you were traveling with NO bags and remembered to check in super early, it was no huge deal.

Um...well...this is why I essentially stopped watching them....after it became apparent that these were more idolizing odes put out by people too close to the story, rather than genuine bios. It's also probably different for people who aren't coming into the movie as diehard fans of the eras.

The questions at the post-dinner press conference are all rooted in the assumption that this was a politically motivated assassination attempt, after the president and officials have already told the room they are still investigating the suspect and their motives. #WHCA

Vince Dixon @vincedixon.bsky.social · 26/04/2026
A lot of people, including journalists, have assumed this was an assassination attempt targeting the president, but other than the fact that the president was in attendance, there doesn't seem to be any confirmation of that. Journalists need to be mindful of that.

A billl making its way through Congress aims to put restrictions on "large institutional landlords" buying up apartments, but data shows such landlords are actually rare-more of a local issue than a national one. And there's a chance the homes they give up will just go to smaller investors, not you.

Even though The Housemaid ultimately sccumbs to a now worn-out trope, the fact that half of the movie pretends to go a different direction redeems it...It does a good job of not making the trope too predictable, at least.

Reminder that "Bougie" has racial undertones. It was mostly used as a pejorative for black people (synonymous with saditty & uppity) before a rapper made it mainstream and people started using it to describe things and not just black people. Still, we should stop using it, especially on #Jeopardy

The issue is now-outdated assumptions that newsrooms/editors have to address. A few years ago this approach would have worked, but this FDA isn't your mom's FDA. Newsrooms have to factor in agenda from once authoritative sources. News had a similar reckoning with police sourcing a few years ago.
