Mainstream media failed to hold Trump to account over the course of the 2024 presidential campaign through "view from nowhere" centrism and false equivalencies between both campaigns.

Here is a list of news organizations, newsletters, and writers that are audience-funded and/or non-profits committed to independent and investigative journalism.

Rules

• No centrist contrarians or right-wing authors
• No reactionary-tolerant platforms (Substack, X, etc.)

Investigative journalism

• ProPublica

Subject: Disappointed in the union busting

I would appreciate that this message gets passed to the appropriate Fastmail leadership.

I'm unhappy with the mass layoffs of Fastmail's US bargaining unit. Losing 60% of your colleagues is just a devastating blow. I'm especially unhappy that Fastmail management declined to recognize the union, forcing an election, delaying bargaining, then laid off the entire bargaining unit. This is union-busting, plain and simple.

I have been a customer since 2015, but I am considering cancelling my plan knowing how the company treats its workers. I understand that the union is not calling for a boycott, but I cannot support a company does not support its workers.

Fastmail is 25 years old—old enough to rent a car here in the USA—how could management have misjudged the finances to this degree? Who made this decision and what was the justification?

Hello, Troy dads!

Please join us for a dad circle March 11 around 8:30pm. Thanks Andrew for hosting in February, next time we'll go back to Christian's yard in Lansingburgh, (snip). Let us know if you can't make March 11th and we can figure out another night. Also, if you're interested in hosting the April edition, let me know!

Nothing too formal, but hoping to get together and talk about our woes and glories at our varied stages of parenting and maintaining the human relationships that go along with it.

If you can't make it, don't want to make it, or need to be late (after bedtime), that's totally fine. No pressure whatsoever, but each dad has their own perspective and we all have different age kiddos, so more perspectives the better.

We don't have a strict format, but we do some sharing and updating that is done without imbibing, and then breaking into a more casual hangout. While we would appreciate just hanging with y'all in any format, we are also hopeful to actually make this more of a DIY therapeut

Social Network contact data

I downloaded my account data archive from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Mastodon, and Flickr. The files below should give you a sense for what kind of contact details get included in each export. Basically I'm wondering to what degree you can look at a list of contacts and use it to keep in touch outside of that service.

If you see a note that says "We can make this file beautiful and searchable ..." that is something that GitHub added because the CSV files are not technically valid.

Hi J—,

Thanks for taking an interest in me. I have a young daughter who's turning 3 in a couple weeks. Your project threatens her future on a warming planet. This is not abstract or theoretical to me, receiving this email is equivalent to getting recruited by a fossil fuel company.

If I thought there were some way I could talk you out of what you're doing I would try, but I have seen the discussions online and I know it's impossible to reason people out of a gold rush mentality. Please take me off your mailing list and please really take a minute to think about the impact of your work.
