Democrats set historic records on election night. Here are six of the firsts they accomplished
Kira Lerner , - The Guardian (U.K.)
_Stephan: Last night was very good news for the preservation of democracy in the United States. That’s getting a lot of media coverage, and that is also good news. But there were a number of important nuances to the Democratic victories that aren’t getting enough coverage. Happily, the British newsp … ⌘ Read more

Report: Donors to Trump’s White House ballroom have $279B in federal contracts
Jonathan Edwards, - archive today
_Stephan: This is a corruption story that is not getting anywhere near enough media coverage. The billionaires contributing to “king” Trump’s turning the White House from the traditional 18th-century mansion it has been for centuries, into the kind of gilt glittering palace you would see in the Kremlin in Moscow, are getting in retu … ⌘ Read more
Design trends I think will take off in 2026
but tierlist
S - move from flat design to more detailed, 3D, more complex logos.
A - glass, not just liquid, Windows Vista, 7, 11,… accessibility concerns, but I like to see it.
B-/C+ - black and white icons, favicons. I did it before it was cool, but it’s getting overused.
E - gradientslop, barely started, already all blends together.
CBS Cuts Trump’s Corruption Tantrum From ’60 Minutes’ Edit
Cameron Adams , Reporter - Daily Beast
Stephan: Yesterday I posted an article on what a sad shadow 60 Minutes and CBS have become since the compary was bought by a Republican supporting billionaire. Well, as bad as I thought it was, it was actually worse. They edited the interview to conceal Trump’s psychopathic behavior. The good news is that at least some of the media is revealing this edited bias.
Wow! 🤩 Are folks actually using Gatherly already? 🤔

Fevela.me – A newsreader-like client for the Nostr social network
I created Fevela, a fork of the great Jumble, because I wanted a Nostr social client that would give me back full control of my attention and time. So I designed an interface similar to that of old good newsreaders, which for me is perfect to encourage exploration of interesting content rather than doomscrolling. I then added some ad hoc filters that can help reduce noise and improve the signal.

Brian Mann and Sarah McCammon, Correspondents - npr
_Stephan: The decline across the developed world in the number of children being born is a major civilization changing trend that is getting very little coverage in the media or being discussed by anyone but researchers. This article lays it all out very well, with one exception. I think a major factor in this trend … ⌘ Read more

Pentagon names new press corps from far-right outlets after reporter walkout
Eric Berger, Contributing Journalist - The Guardian (U.K.)
Stephan: It is no longer going to be possible to believe or trust any media coverage coming out of the Pentagon, as this British article reports, because the free press has been replaced by fascist media reporters. Essentially, the United States has become the media equivalent of Russia or North Korea.

I guess they must have some remains of shame and self preservation instinct, that made them sweep these off their portfolio website and set the video ads with them, to “Private” on YouTube.
https://youtu.be/s7GZK8FGRvA
But sadly not enough shame, to stop putting these on billboards, I have to see on daily basis and making new versions of them, with different inconsistent styles, of badly AI generated “pixelart”!
I checked their website, this is their footer, with the text that always overlaps - maybe they also never heard about CSS, can’t blame them, it’s only been a thing, since 1996.
Trump pushed Zelenskyy in vulgar ‘shouting match’ to cede land or be ‘destroyed’: report
Alexander Willis, Staff Writer - Raw Story

Meet the young Americans who want a monarchy — but not ‘King Trump’
George Grylls, Washington Reporter - The Times (U.K.)
Stephan: You hear nothing about this in American media, but there is a growing number of Gen Z Whites who actually have become so disaffected by what has happened to American democracy that they would choose monarchy over democracy. It is a glaring demonstration of how poorly educated about the history of civics these young people are.

US falls out of world’s 10 most powerful passports list for first time in 20 years
Marina Dunbar, Guardian U.S. Fellow - The Guardian (U.K.)
Stephan: This report in the British Guardian, something you are unlikely to hear, see, or read in the American media, is important because it is another sign demonstrating how Trump and the Republican Party has caused America’s position and presence in the international community to decline.
