Cosmo<p>Last week I posted a couple idle thoughts about the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Sacbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sacbee</span></a> editorial board and the apparent influence of some younger board members on their political endorsements. Dueling editorials in the city council District 4 race spell out this dynamic pretty explicitly. </p><p>I think the younger board members make a much more compelling case for Katie Valenzuela&#39;s re-election than the wishy-washy &#39;we&#39;re too divided&#39; pitch that the oldsters (aka people my age) make for Phil Pluckebaum. </p><p>The &#39;official&#39; endorsement highlights one of the problems with our elections, and the thinking that each district just needs to elect a bland well-monied &#39;centrist&#39; who can pull everyone together. They can not. I think we actually need a bigger more diverse council that better represents the competing ideas and visions that we all have for the city.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sacramento" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sacramento</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/election-endorsements/article285305012.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sacbee.com/opinion/election-en</span><span class="invisible">dorsements/article285305012.html</span></a></p>
Cosmo<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr" class="u-url mention">@<span>ai6yr</span></a></span> Thanks! Those all make sense. But since <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Sacbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sacbee</span></a> previews load up on Twitter (though just images now I guess) seems like the Bee site just doesn&#39;t play nice with Mastodon the way it does with Twitter?</p>
Cosmo<p>Reading about the website that I will forever refer to as Twitter removing headlines from linked articles, and that seems bad and very dumb.</p><p>But also a lot of the time <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> also does not show preview images or headlines when I share news articles. Especially from my local newspaper <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sacbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sacbee</span></a>. Why do previews show up for links from some sites but not others?</p><p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/10/05/twitter-x-news-headlines-removed/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/technology/</span><span class="invisible">2023/10/05/twitter-x-news-headlines-removed/</span></a></p>
Cosmo<p>Interesting in the wake of the Capital Public Radio financial train wreck to see the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sacbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sacbee</span></a> and <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Sacramento" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sacramento</span></a> State discover that students don&#39;t benefit from the KXJZ license or participate in the station in any meaningful way. </p><p>Here&#39;s a story I did... 20 years ago (?!) about just that very thing.</p><p><a href="https://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content/radio-control/29527/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">newsreview.com/sacramento/cont</span><span class="invisible">ent/radio-control/29527/</span></a></p><p>Much has changed since then. That was before CapRadio launched &quot;Insight&quot; and lots of other good stuff. But much is the same, especially the building of expensive new buildings and leaving students out of the picture. </p><p>My suggestion? There&#39;s a new <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LPFM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LPFM</span></a> window opening next month.</p><p><a href="https://www.prometheusradio.org/new-lpfm-stations-application-window-november" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">prometheusradio.org/new-lpfm-s</span><span class="invisible">tations-application-window-november</span></a></p><p>CSUS/CapRadio should try for a license for KSSU and also do a &quot;KSSU on CapRadio&quot; show.

Cosmo<p>So many upsetting details in this <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sacbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sacbee</span></a> story. What the fuck are we doing here?
