Disinformation is a global issue exacerbated by social media, Japan's insular media culture and limited engagement in online political discourse have acted as a form of insulation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/05/09/japan/japan-disinformation-age/

KRISTI NOEM
"Stare-Down" with Kim Jong Un?

BOY, she’s one tough little narcissist.
Alas, story is false.

"Through my tenure on the House Armed Services Committee,” she wrote, “I had the chance to travel to many countries to meet with world leaders.

" I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all).”

: "In our interviews, the journalists kept referring to themselves as being kind of the middlemen between academics, politicians, and citizens. Journalists like to import their definitions from somewhere – they don’t come up with their own. That’s something scholars do. So, the journalists look “up” to a perceived higher epistemic authority – academia – for clarity and definitions. But academia is, to them, at the same time a bit disconnected from the real world and too technical. This is where the problem arises. Journalists look towards academia for definitions, but they keep rejecting key parts of the definitions because they argue that they must account for those that are “beneath” them – their readers. They argue that they must translate from the high authority of academics to the low authority of audiences. They also say they must account for how politicians “dilute” meaning. So, what do they do, they switch to a new term. Or they import a term but not its academic definition, and it gets messy.

If we want to fix this and make things less messy, we argue that journalists must – and scholars as well – think and be careful about the ways in which we use these terms and be consistent. Even if politicians use them for political ends, we can’t just abandon ship at the first sign of a problem, because that is not going to solve anything."

#Trump started moving his head, squinting & pursing his lips, & crossed his arms over his chest.

#Pecker said he advised Trump to pay for #KarenMcDougal's story himself.

“I think you should buy it," he recalled saying directly to Trump. He said Trump told him he'd “think about it” & have #MichaelCohen call Pecker back.

#KarenMcDougal was selling a story of having had a long affair w/ #Trump.

#Pecker said that #MichaelCohen was becoming increasingly agitated as then #NationalEnquirer editor, #DylanHoward, traveled to hear her story.

“It looked like he was getting a lot of pressure to get the answer, like, right away," Pecker said of Cohen.

#Pecker finished testifying for the day; he’ll be back Thursday.

Judge #Merchan gave #jurors the usual warnings, plus a new one:

To report anyone who seeks to violate #JuryIntegrity - it sounded as if someone has already approached a juror inappropriately.

#Trump has a documented history of #JuryTampering

We are posting here the messages from organizations, institutions, NGOs, etc. that have opened a channel on Mastodon and left #X/Twitter. Many of their arguments cite the same points as mentioned in our open letter calling the universities to become active on Mastodon and fediverse servers.

The messages represent a broad consensus among Internet users who want to bring the choice of social media in line with their mission statements. The first of these is the data protection foundation @DS_Stiftung.

It writes about itself: „Acting independently in the field of #DataPrivacy, Stiftung Datenschutz links politics and the public, academics and business. It complements existing organizations and initiatives while liaising closely with German data protection authorities on state and federal levels.“

At the end of September, she drew the consequences and broke away from X/ #Twitter
