What are your pain points, folks? Stuff that you hate doing or dealing with, or problems you can't find a good solution to? Stuff that other people might be frustrated with, too.

I'm looking for a way to make myself valuable to other people, as a way to both help people and also earn an income to feed my family in the process.

One thing I can do *really well* is create reliable software to automate rote tasks, generate financial/statistical/other reports, or calculate difficult solutions. Think it can't be done without LLMs? I might surprise you!

Throw me a bone!

Please boost for reach!

Our reporters published investigations this year on the Trump administration, health care, education and more.

These are the stories readers spent the most time with in 2025.

Our reporter visited a potential source’s home, where he introduced himself as a reporter and they had a pleasant conversation.

A few days later, VA Secretary Doug Collins sent out a tweet that accused our reporter of trying to “stalk” the employee.

Calling all #fediverse developers for help: I'm currently trying to implement a #reporting ( #flag) feature for Hackers' Pub, an #ActivityPub-enabled community for software engineers. Is there a formal specification for how cross-instance reporting should work in ActivityPub? Or, is there any well-documented material that explains how the major implementations handle it?

Are there any software projects that people would be willing to pay a small weekly or monthly contribution to support me while I develop it? I need a way to feed my family, and I don't like asking for handouts.

Please respond with ideas of things you'd like to see exist, that you'd maybe be willing to contribute an ongoing nonzero amount towards, and boost for reach. If you don't have idea of your own, that's fine. Boosting will still help!

It is remarkable what sort of news the BBC do not wish to cover. I don’t watch their television so must take that on trust, but looking at the BBC news site, this is not even touched upon. Hunger strikes in NI, and more recent ones, yes, but this no. I do wonder who the corporation represents - it certainly is not most of the UK.

It took an awfully long time…

Our so called ‘investigative press’ are only just catching up with the full extent of UKIP/Reform ties with Russia. It is a great shame that they have been asleep for the last 5 years or more. I expect this to run and run, one never knows, the labels #antisemite, #homophobic, #bigot, #islamophobic and #traitor might stick to #Farage and #Reform. If only…

The Data Doesn’t Lie: How ProPublica Reports the Truth in an Era of False Claims

Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting

FAIR looked at 15 different news outlets’ initial coverage of the murders of six Palestinian journalists. We found that they overwhelmingly centered Israel’s narrative, attempted to delegitimize pro-Palestinian sources, and failed to contextualize the killings within the larger context of the genocide.
