what a legend
Hi, Im a piece ofshit working for piece of shit unlimited, can i rat u out and work to kll you and ur people?
Hope her starry eyed lib ass felt that
If a news source ever asks to use your video, you should ask them for money. News stations have a media budget. I think are usually willing to pay up to $500 to use a video non-exclusively.
Also, they’re the fucking nytimes, you have to ask for this on someone’s social media feed? Do some fucking work
Literally the biggest staff of any paper in the country. Can’t send a single fucking photographer to any site of civil unrest.
fuck the NYT but im not sure how you expect the press to be at every single thing ICE does, which is why the only video is from some person instead. If anything there should be local news there, but that shit barely exists anymore. And yes, they do have to ask.
Ask in a dm, I dunno
good point lol
$500 is still pretty cheap for a big ass media empire like the NYT. Good on him for telling them to fuck off lol
I was speaking in general, not to this specific circumstance. Also you could ask for more than $500 and you could donate the money to a trans organization.
uncritical support
Is there something particular that he’s referring to or is this just in general?
The Times is notorious for spewing anti-trans BS:
https://fair.org/home/nyts-anti-trans-bias-by-the-numbers/
As this piece notes:
The third story explained how Republican Gov. Greg Abbott ordered the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate parents of trans children for potential “child abuse.” Defending its order in court, the state offered a prominent New York Times article by Emily Bazelon (6/15/22; see FAIR.org, 6/23/22) as evidence that gender-affirming care for trans youth is controversial among medical providers. (It is not.)
So yeah, they fucking suck, and that has consequences. If you scroll through FAIR’s LGBTQ section, you’ll find more detailed analysis of individual pieces the Times has put out.
presumably their constant platforming and both-sidesing transphobia

Initially I was like “I’m not a huge fan of bluesky but at least it means people can post shit critical of the government without it being censored… oh”
What exactly is the point of that site?
There has been a CLEARLY observable pattern over the past two decades of internet communities being completely fucking RUINED by corporate interests, only for people to find refuge on a new corporate platform with IDENTICAL fucking incentives to the one they just left. The cycle is as obvious as the Sun, the tides, and the seasons. Bluesky is filled with the fucking idiots who still couldn’t recognize this in 2024. People who think the Sun ceases to exist at nighttime.
I’m kinda biased since we all use Lemmy but Mastodon is that service if they need a Twitter alternative, of course, Mastodon predates Bluesky and people could’ve moved but for reasons (either they literally just didn’t know or disliked a Mastodon feature) only known to them they just… went to Bluesky without fully understanding why Twitter/X became the way it is that isn’t surface level ‘Elon Musk ruined everything’ (which he did ruin a lot, but was a byproduct and initiator rather than the full reason)
Nobody needs a twitter alternative, “microblogging” was always a bad format
I still use RSS. I feel like a fucking dinosaur trying to explain how it works to friends and family.
There was a suspicious amount of FUD about Mastodon (what’s an instance!? it’s all so complicated!) as Twitter shit the bed and bluesky started the invite-only facebook/Google-plus playbook
It doesn’t help that most big podcasters (including c/podcasts faves) got big from cultivating Twitter followings, so those grifters were unsurprisingly more than willing to shit on Mastodon.
It’s for people (suckers) who thought twitter was ever good
Its the one that has the “good” elites on it. The only reason why twitter was ever important was because its the one that the elites used the most publicly.
One could write an essay on why the twitter format suites the bourgeoisie the most. Digital Ticker Tape.
It’s ticker tape for everything. I have a co-worker who used to be in fire watch (private fire watch for insurance companies) and they did fire watching by literally checking Twitter for videos of smoke in their insurance regions and then triangulating the position from video location metadata and geological features.
safe space for libs where they can delay the realization that nobody like them or their ideology any more
