Last Notes npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The Trump "flood the zone with shit" strategy is working well. I just checked the homepage of a major left-of-center magazine.* There wasn't a single headline about anything Harris has proposed to do as president. But there was story after story about Trump/Vance rhetoric and acts. I fell into this myself in my newsletter post yesterday. * New Republic npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Israel's walkie-talkie bombs opened a Pandora's box, says hardware genius Bunny Huang: "if we do not universally and swiftly condemn the practice of turning everyday gadgets into bombs, we risk legitimizing a military technology that can literally bring the front line of every conflict into your pocket, purse or home." https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/2024/turning-everyday-gadgets-into-bombs-is-a-bad-idea/ npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor @npub1ua7…rrg3 not if he wins... npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor @npub1g7t…n6x7 need evidence... npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor I really want Trump to sell off some of his "media company" holdings, just to remind his cultists that he'll betray anyone if he thinks he can profit from it. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor @npub15x5…wanc Amazing that it's one train all that way! npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Republicans are freaking out about their extremist candidate in North Carolina after news reports that he's a bit kinky in his private life. They were completely fine with his candidacy when all anyone knew was that he is a fascist. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The best media reporter in the business, @npub16x2…dsmw, is back at CNN and demonstrating daily why they need him. https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/19/media/kamala-harris-press-strategy-local-media/index.html npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor I had a long conversation yesterday with people at a news organization I hold in high regard, about the possibilities of using "AI" in a way that won't backfire on their credibility and ultimately their business. I hope we all learned some new things. I know I did, hearing how all this looked to them. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor @npub15x5…wanc Haneda is now much better in almost every way... npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor The obvious goal of the odious Jill Stein and her backers is to throw the race to Trump, and this poll of Muslims is evidence that they might pull it off. Because, as everyone knows, Trump will be very kind to Muslims if he wins. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/muslim-americans-moving-jill-stein-potential-blow-kamala-harris-2024-09-19/ npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Re NC Republican candidate: Before porn went online, you could probably count the number of men who never visited a porn store on one hand. The issue with Robinson is that he's a fascist. npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor NY Times downplays Trump/Vance incitement to violence There goes the NY Times again, downplaying the reality of what Trump/Vance stand for. "Combative conservatism" is bended-knee journalistic weakness, and this "Political Memo" is standard-issue in the genre the Times has mastered. (I'm not linking to it.) The reality of Trump/Vance is that they are planning a dictatorship. They've made that absolutely clear. They are, for all practical purposes, outright fascists. https://dangillmor.com/2024/09/19/ny-times-downplays-trump-vance-incitement-to-violence/ npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Topics in the latest edition of my "Cornerstone of democracy" newsletter -- a compendium of the best of political reporting/commentary (and more) -- include: -- Trump/Vance beyond cynical -- Corruption the norm -- Attacking truth tellers -- War's latest front -- More on third parties I curate to save you time.

The Times is also a threat to democracy, but its bosses can't imagine why. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/159/284/657/295/508/original/3bed3e4e01e4e680.png npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Topics in the latest edition of my "Cornerstone of democracy" newsletter -- a compendium of the best of political reporting/commentary (and more) -- include: -- Ugly memes nothing new for extremists -- All corruption, all the time... -- ..in Trump world -- American amnesia -- More parties, please?

This gives bad cops an easy way out of trouble. And it lets them join other departments that hire them without knowing their backgrounds. The whole system is the bad apple. https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2024/police-clean-record-agreements/ npub1qyhnuy0ac92x497z0ytx95dwd2c6p5lv8l36uv0gv8jeel0pu0ks9yayrq Dan Gillmor Test post via micro.blog –
