My latest royal family / royal media investigation is up on @vulture.bsky.social and it’s a BIG one: www.vulture.com/article/kate...

The Disappearing of Rose Hanburywww.vulture.com A timeline of the Marchioness of Cholmondeley’s media coverage shows reports of an alleged affair with Prince William have quietly disappeared.

I always forget about BlueSky and I shouldn’t!

Phoebe and I would like to wish everyone a very good Sunday evening.

New royal story dropping tomorrow… 🕵️‍♀️👀👩‍💻✍️👑☕️

Y’all, CRAZY THINGS are happening in royal family land, shit’s wild.

This is a brilliant and delicious explanation of the whole Kate Middleton mystery & royals journalism & how conspiracy theories work www.niemanlab.org/2024/03/this... by @ellievhall.bsky.social

“This is just weird”: BuzzFeed News’ former royals reporter on Kate Middleton, Palace PR, and distrust in the mediawww.niemanlab.org "I cannot emphasize enough how out of character it is that a royal press team went on the record in response to what is essentially gossip."

Over the past week, a LOT of people have been asking me when I was going to write something about Kate Middleton's "disappearance." I talked to @niemanlab.org about the princess, the palace, and the press — and laid out a timeline of the entire saga. www.niemanlab.org/2024/03/this...

OMG people are willing to pay me money in exchange for words about the royal family and Kate Middleton.

NYC IRL with the best people.

Haven’t been on Bluesky in a minute, fortunately I have a GREAT post to herald my return.

Should I let Phoebe keep her stick?

Who will win? Bluesky or Threads? Neither. Because rich people don't want us to bother them online anymore and are breaking the way the internet has functioned for over 20 years to make sure it's not possible ever again. https://www.garbageday.email/p/paying-to-use-a-site-you-cant-use

The 4th of July and the days before/after are the only times when I HATE living in Washington DC. Fireworks. Nonstop. Until the early hours of the morning. Never-ending, window-rattling BOOMS.

I like that the three working theories for why Twitter broke are: 1.) Twitter is DDoSing itself because Elon is an idiot. 2.) Twitter is losing servers after the company ignored bills because Elon is an idiot. 3.) Twitter hopes to force people to pay because Elon is an idiot.

I will never get over this.

Happy pupper.

BuzzFeed News DC (RIP) got together tonight to toast our former employer. The best thing about this place was and will always be the people.

LET’S FUCKING GO

Decided to add a new category to my CV (because if you’re going to flex, it might as well be on your résumé). 🤷🏼‍♀️

William Shatner blocking every single BuzzFeed employee remains a personal Twitter highlight, TBH

What’s your favorite instance of a celebrity blocking you on Twitter?

bsky has really illustrated how fucking sick and tiring 8+ years of constant doomscrolling has been <3

the energy on here is like this and i hope it lasts forever

Phoebe is a master of the side-eye.

You cannot tell me that this isn’t a “So happy to be on an adventure” smile.

expert: "u know dogs are not really smiling at u they are showing thei..." me: "shut up"

Twitter has a real "mall that's still open but probably shutting down soon" vibe these days,.

Appears Elon Jet @elonjet.bsky.social, the account tracking the location of Elon Musk’s private plane in real time, is officially here on Blue Sky. You might recall that creator Jack Sweeney and @drewharwell.com, among others, got banned from Twitter over it!

Another day at BuzzFeed News dot com

elon musk gave them everything they wanted, turned twitter into a platform that catered to their needs, and yet they still felt the need to come here. it’s truly pathetic for elon and conservatives, because they’re basically admitting social media is more fun with the type of people they hate.

Beginning to see more conservatives migrate here from Twitter. https://www.garbageday.email/p/not-entertaining-not-engrossing-but?utm_medium=email They’re already whining about inclusion. It’s not about socializing though, they can do that on Parker. It’s about disrupting the app for everyone else.
