holy shit the journalist girl in love with martin shkreli is on clubhouse and the story just keeps going.

"So who's the villain in this story?" these mods are so being so gentle and diplomatic.

"Do you feel like you've been manipulated?" "No. (laughing)"

A gentle question/inquiry about how she feels after losing so much in this process, and she replies saying that it was hard, but she has no regrets, and says that without it she would not have had her eyes opened to how bad the criminal justice & prison system is

Thank god for the woman who is zeroing in on the details of the exact ways he was manipulating her by saying that he had anxiety & panic attacks too (telling her what she wants to hear, mirroring her personal wounds so he can bond with her over them)

Oh my god not some guy derailing the entire room by trying to make the conversation about CLUBHOUSE and asking her how she found the app, who invited her, if she's had a welcome room yet. dl;skadlaksds

"Do you think you would have fallen in love with him if you met under different circumstances?" She says yes, absolutely, if she knew about his self-taught bio-engineering(?) and 'mastery of small subjects'(???)

i wish the best for my ex husband, i hope he goes out there and [pause, laugh cough] lives his best life. anyway, Martin was the beginning of cancel culture, and he even offered to cure COVID pro-bono but he's.. in prison.....

MODS ASLEEP, TIME TO ASK THE REAL QUESTIONS. LET'S GOOOOO

wow. what was that mess

(everyone is talking over each other)

What I want to know: when she microwaved him a hamburger during visitation, did she take the buns off first or did she heat them with the patty?

"I DONT THINK THAT LOVING SOMEONE IS MISCONDUCT."

She says the good thing about sending more white people to jail is that it makes jail better for everyone by raising awareness about how bad things are. Last question was about chicken wings. Now the afterparty room is already going.

this is now going to become the standard move: twitter's main character du jour will go on clubhouse post-virality to stir up even more attention and drama. congrats, clubhouse is now jerry springer.

Want to understand how pervasive media bias works? Read on.

Check out this awful headline from @AP. A gun was found on the scene, there are bullet casings and bullet holes on nearby walls.

This isn't simply an allegation. This was clearly was a gunman.

It would be bad enough if the Associated Press alone published this headline. But because @AP is a wire service, many other leading news outlets have republished this content, often verbatim.

Here's the article on the @WashingtonPost, for example.

And here's the same article, and same headline, on @YahooNews.

The article was republished in plenty more well-known media outlets. Here it is on the @ABC website.

Moving forward, the content of the article is deeply problematic. This is how an article about an attempted shooting attack begins: by focusing on the *response* of the security forces to being attacked.

@TheCanaryUK, journalism and free speech:

Like all news outlets, The Canary produces good and bad journalism. The same can be said of the Guardian, BBC and even the Daily Mail...

I don't agree with some of its editorial positions and at times I find some of the reporting over simplistic. But it also does extremely rigorous, well-sourced and informative analysis that addresses issues often overlooked by mainstream press (cf its reporting on Venezuela)...

What is relatively unique is the degree to which The Canary has been attacked by the left, centre and right. This is partly because of a perception that it has challenged the reach of mainstream media, especially on social media...

Though it's short history is a relative success story among news start ups, the notion that it competes on any level with either the audience reach or agenda influence of mainstream media is a constructed myth...

a myth that serves to obscure the enduring grip of national press and broadcasters over the public consciousness, and absolve policymakers of the need to address this...

For the past 6 years, I & a few other journalists have been trying to get the mainstream press and political elites realize the major danger posed by the radical right. Unfortunately, moderate and liberal elites deluded themselves into thinking that conservatism wasn't a cult.

There is no secretly powerful "Republican establishment" that will fix things. There are thugs, deluded people, and there are quislings. There is no one else in the GOP. Instead of focusing on the radical right's danger, editors wanted stories about Trump tweets.

Instead of calling out the dangerous radicalism of the GOP, television debate shows and opinion pages invited the enablers of fascism to speak and write about how we all needed to give powerful insane people the benefit of the doubt.

Unlike Trump, who walled off the White House months ago into a fortress, Nancy Pelosi did not take the terrorist threat seriously enough to demand better security. She has the budget and the authority and did nothing similar. Now, fascists are on the floor of Congress.

Of course, it is Trump who bears the responsibility for this but the Capitol Police have totally disgraced themselves by not fortifying the building the way that the Secret Service did to the WH.

This is the view of numerous congressional staffers of both parties.

1. Let's talk about Albanians. No, not THOSE Albanians, in the Balkans. The Caucasian Albanians, the pre-Turkish inhabitants of the land now known as Azerbaijan. 🇦🇿

2. Yeah, I know, there's also an "Iberia" there, which should cause even more confusion (with Spain), but let's focus on "Albania".

3. This ancient church in the village of Nij (or Nic), just south of the Caucasus Mountains, belongs to the Udi people, a Christian minority in Azerbaijan descended from the area’s pre-Turkic Caucasian Albanians. 🇦🇿

4. Nearby are the ruins of the Caucasian Albanian capital of “old” Gabala (Qebele), where I was given a personal tour by one of the resident archeologists (just for showing up). 🇦🇿

5. Only a very tiny portion of the extensive site has been excavated. “Every place you dig,” the archeologist told me, “you will find artifacts.” This whole field is a city waiting to be uncovered.
