Journalist: "So what do you think long-distance air travel is going to look like in 2050?"

Climate Scientist laughs derisively: "By 2050, most long-distance holiday destinations will be uninhabitable, so I expect the majority of long-distance air traffic to be non-existent by 2050."

Phew. Hadn't heard it THAT bleakly during a live interview yet.

Eyes down for #Eurovision, lads.

And a great start with the lass from Israel coming out to a song where the chorus is “I don’t care”.

Astonishing.

It is odd, to put it mildly, that the Pulitzer Prizes will be awarded today at Columbia University, which has encouraged police to shut down journalism about the over-the-top police response to protests...

Elon is saying he will relocate X's headquarters if Aaron Peskin is elected as the next mayor of San Francisco. The irony is that there's a good chance that his threat will help Peskin's campaign.

Wherever I find right-wing violence, I find journalists getting attacked. Their hatred of journalism stems from a hatred of facts; they prefer information come from authority than reporting.

If they had their way, journalism as a profession would be gone except for the propagandists who lie on their behalf. (which is not journalism anyway)

Hah, I wanted to share this article from It's FOSS News on here but don't want to cause the issue they describe in it, so I won't link to it directly.

They only mention #Mastodon in this article, but would this not be a wider issue on most #fediverse platforms?

Here's the link broken up:

A #Doctor at Cigna Said Her Bosses Pressured Her to Review Patients’ Cases Too Quickly.

#Cigna Threatened to Fire Her.

Cigna tracks every minute that its staff #doctors spend deciding whether to pay for #HealthCare.

Dr. Debby Day said her bosses cared more about being fast than being right: “Deny, deny, deny. That’s how you hit your numbers,” Day said.

My Mastodon server, cyberplace.social, has received a legal threat in an attempt to have a user's thread deleted. It is styled as a cease and desist.

Good reporting by the @nytimes.com. Now let’s see the U.S. media investigate the Putin caucus in the House, starting with Mike Johnson (free link). https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/15/world/europe/germany-afd-russia.html?ugrp=m&unlocked_article_code=1.kk0.DjOK.CKQ7igp8BIdz&smid=url-share

Here’s what we are reading today:

#Russian trolls are trying to influence US support for Ukraine.

Leaked #Kremlin documents point to an orchestrated online campaign designed fuel fear over American border policies and push isolationism, The Washington Post reports.

I’m increasingly convinced that defederation of Threads will backfires against the instances that defederate.

There is a vocal, but small, minority of users who have very strict opinions on Threads, the Fediverse and Mastodon. But they’re a minority.

The more Threads will federate, the more users who aren’t part of this minority but have to live with the consequences of its demands will ask for a different direction.

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.

Just today Antonina Favorskaya was banned from making a “heart” 🫶🫶 sign at her trial, as acc to the prosecutors it's “a secret sign of extremism.”

I’m flummoxed. Just saw on my inactive Twitter account (which still has 112k followers) that the blue tick is back. The Musk team had taken it away when anyone could begin to buy one. And there’s a notice my account is being reviewed because I purchased a subscription “on another device.” I did not, however, buy a subscription. 🙄
