Who are your favorite journalists on here right now?
And who do you wish had migrated over here but hasn’t yet?

I'm new to Mastodon and I have no idea how this works. I just hate Elon Musk and need to try something else.
I like to post my paintings like this one
@timkmak sorry, I didn't realize that. ok then, some Canadians:
John Rieti, Jennifer Pagliaro, Ben Spurr, Michael de Adder (he is on Mastodon but has stopped posting here), André Picard, Matt Elliott, Ed Tubb, Aaron Rose, Blake Murphy,
Also,in my earlier list I should have mentioned Jon Passantino and Olivia Solon.

Sarah Sanders blames 'design error' for form asking job applicants to name something nice about her https://www.rawstory.com/sarah-sanders-job-application-form/

@mattblaze @delfuego thank you for the clarification. It does seem to me that espionage is unlikely to be in play here. But we'll see.
@delfuego @mattblaze thanks, that's what I always thought. Was therefore very surprised by Matt's post.

Some interesting tidbits from the warrant affidavit for accused leaker Teixeira:
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23777278-teixiera-affidavit (HT @kevincollier )
- He was arrested yesterday, but the warrant was issued this morning, which suggests he was arrested as an emergency measure. Things moved quickly in the last two days.
- At least one of the Discord users ("User 1") is cooperating. I wonder if it's the kid in the WaPo piece or someone else.
- Some "consciousness of guilt" in the access logs thrown in in ¶ 27.
lol. I guess Parler became redundant once Elon bought twitter.

“running a Nazi bar is not […] standing up for free speech. It’s building your own brand as the Nazi bar and abdicating your own free speech rights of association […].”

"your reputation when you refuse to moderate is not “the grand enabler of free speech.” Because it’s the internet itself that is the grand enabler of free speech. When you’re a private centralized company and you don’t deal with hateful content on your site, you’re the Nazi bar.”
From @mmasnick:
@nirnaeth there are also notification APIs. those don't require any extra tools for the user like Feedly. somehow none of the blogs I follow use them. only sites I do not care about try to offer me notifications.

@timkmak totally forgot Michael Weiss. he should be right up there near the top of the list.

@mathewi — Columbia Journalism Review
@stshank — CNET
@taylorlorenz — Washington Post
@willoremus — Washington Post
@adrcatgul @timkmak I only listed journalists so didn't consider Galeev (I have rather mixed views on him). there are certainly quite a few more people I would really like to see here. If it comes to experts on Russia and Ukraine my absolute top choice would be Michael Kofman.

Absolutely monstrous. And still no accountability. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/13/us/politics/cia-torture-guantanamo-saudi-detainee-nashiri.html
