I'm a multi-disciplinary designer out of work due to #LongCovid. Recently I have been visualizing and raising understanding of post-viral illness with my project ILLMARKS.
Every time there's a #SolarEclipse, this computer-generated image by artist A4size-ska does the rounds on social media. Even though the artist clearly discloses it for what it is, a digital composite, many people share it as a genuine photograph of an #eclipse seen from #space
"Political leaders who framed this ... as Israel’s right to defend itself, "#journalists" who peddled fictional horror stories about #beheadedbabies and #massrape on #7October, and editors who day in, day out ignored stories about aid convoys being targeted by Israeli forces are rushing for cover.
All the arguments they used to maintain this slaughter are crumbling in their hands..."
"With international reporters locked out, #PalestinianJournalists have made huge sacrifices to keep the world informed of the unprecedented killing and destruction in #Gaza.
"More #MediaWorkers have been killed by #Israel since October 7 than in any other conflict in modern history. [..]
V RSF:
6 #journalists working for indy media were arrested in #Russia in a span of a few hours at the end of March. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemns these arbitrary arrests as a flagrant attempt to silence Russia’s last independent media outlets and calls for the release of those still held.
No one is forcing journalists the X blue check marks 🤷🏻♀️
Journalists are free to leave Twitter and when journalists would have been smart enough they would already have left this ridiculous platform of dictator Musk
People who stay on Twitter they agree with Elon Musk his dictator decisions so they should not complain
Outrageous that #NPR.org posted an article (not linked since it should not get clicks) titled "RFK Jr. may have missed a major opportunity with his VP pick" as if he were a serious political candidate worthy of public consideration and not a #ConspiracyTheory#AntiVax wackjob.
Please please please, #journalists and editors, do your job of helping society actually function better instead of allowing everything to collapse into ruin.
"Trump, the presumptive #Republican nominee, has made no public statements on Russia’s detention of Wall Street Journal reporter #EvanGershkovich, who has been held for one year without formal charges or a trial...
The headline should read Trump-enabler who voted for unqualified Supreme Court judges and against impeachment, says she won’t vote for Trump…until she inevitably does
Palestinian journalists working in Gaza have inspired street art in the United Kingdom with the latest wall mural appearing in East London’s Ilford area.
Painted by street artists Auberi Chen, Core 246 and Captain Kris, the large “Heroes of Palestine” mural features Palestinian photographers, from left to right, Mohamed al-Masri and Ali Jaddalah, writer Hind Khoudary, and photographer Abdelhakim Abu Riash.
Israeli forces have shot and killed Palestinian journalist Muhammad Abu Sakhil at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
Israeli forces stormed al-Shifa Hospital with tanks and heavy gunfire on March 18 and have been laying siege to it since. The military says it’s targeting “terrorists” sheltering inside the medical facility, claiming it has killed some 175 Palestinian fighters and arrested 500 more during the siege.
Qatari royal invested ~$50M in pro #Trump network #Newsmax
Before & after the investment, snr newsroom ldrs urged Newsmax staff to soften coverage of #Qatar, current & fmr employees said
A member of the Qatari royal family invested ~$50 million in Newsmax, acc/to docs & representatives for the #FarRight#media co & the royal, in a moment of acute #MiddleEast tensions during the #Trump admin.
The docs came from a trove of ~100k leaked files from #GenesisTrust, a #CaymanIslands based financial services provider, which were obtained by the International Consortium of #Investigative#Journalists & reviewed by WaPo.
Among the docs were internal forms prepared by Genesis that proposed the corporate structure would be “set up with the intention of benefiting the State of #Qatar.”
"the glaring problem w/ [Ronna McDaniel's] hiring is not that she was (or is) a partisan hack or anything to do w/her policy positions, but her deep complicity in #Trump ’s election denialism...
Their comments come a day after #ChuckTodd pilloried #NBC execs moments after #RonnaMcDaniel’s 1st network appearance, an interview w/ #KristenWelker on “Meet the Press.”
“I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation,” Todd told Welker. “There’s a reason why there’s a lot of #journalists at #NBCNews uncomfortable w/this, because many of our professional dealings w/the #RNC over the last 6 yrs have been met w/ #gaslighting, have been met w/ #CharacterAssassination.”
Dear #journalists
When Mike Johnson, in his role as Speaker of the House, says things like "if you want to know what I think, read the Bible," please point out that such an answer is not only questionable in light of the Establishment Clause of the US Constitution but also, since the Bible has been interpreted many different ways for millennia, effectively meaningless.
Stop letting theocrats off the hook. "The Bible" can't be a policy position.
