the elisons are going to destroy all my favorite pieces of media and cartoons and i know it seems ridiculous with everything that's happening in the world, but the prospect that these ghouls will be taking away peoples escape from the hellscape that is the current real world is making me despondent.

NEW VIDEO: Why are sports owners suddenly so comfortable losing?

Some blame tanking, some blame analytics.

But an answer increasingly is private equity.

People do what you pay them to do.
You pay corporate executives to make stock prices go up, not to make better products.
You pay politicians to get re-elected, not to govern well.
You pay reporters to get a bigger audience, not to tell the truth.
And so forth.
Be aware of what you pay people to do

Clinton: It then got at the end quite unusual because I started being asked about UFOs and a series of questions about Pizzagate. One of the most vile bogus conspiracy theories that was propagated on the internet.

Don't forget the second and third richest men own YouTube through Google.

We used to have anti-trust laws to prevent this kind of media consolidation. A Republican president championed anti-trust. He also championed public lands and the Nat'l Parks.

Teddy Roosevelt wouldn't even recognize the GOP.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Never forget that the primary tactic of this movement is distraction. They point to medical statements, procedural wins and tangentially related anecdotes because *they have no evidence of their core claim*

If lots of kids were transitioning without assessment they would be talking about that.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

… No he hasn’t?

Man what

No better metaphor for what association with Trump gets you than the guys who won Team USA's first gold medal since 1980 being forever remembered as the sad losers who were served cold McDonald's and bottled water at a lunch Trump didn't even bother showing up to.

some YouTube asshole lied about Somalians stealing daycare subsides. so Trump is stealing healthcare from the entire state

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

The Rise of the Manhattan Mega-Mansion In the West Village and other historic neighborhoods, buyers are consolidating apartments and combining townhomes, a sign of New York’s allure to the ultra-rich.

Behind the preserved historical facades, the ultra-rich are buying up adjacent townhomes in the West Village and Upper East Side, combining them into a megamansion. It's part of a broader trend of small multifamily buildings being turned into single-family homes. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

"If you piss people off, they will criticize you" is the kind of insight you only glean from writing for more than a decade

sociopathic

I can’t believe this is real

characteristically good work from Serwer. again saying: we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

Cuomo's most recent post for those curious

Wow! Weird how this KEEPS HAPPENING with Jesse Singal!

It's almost like he has some kind of agenda or bias. Isn't it interesting that a perception or assumption of a pro-trans bias disqualifies you from writing about trans health, but an anti-trans bias doesn't?

The biggest effect I see from people still spending time on X—which many deny or don't even notice—is how it shifts their perception of what's normal. Such as:

Actively anti-trans is speaking like a normal person
Objecting to Nazi symbols turns off the working class
Epstein knew a bunch of Jews
etc

Just a reminder that this happened two days ago.

David Ellison is the nepo baby who runs Paramount/Skydance and brought on Bari Weiss to destroy CBS News. He will now run Warner Bros and CNN after the likely merger.

Consumption's back on the menu, boys!

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

I am just going to say this once. Sorry Gold Medal mens hockey team you dont get to say you support the women's hockey team in 1 breath and then go to the very house that treated them like shit. And Hellebuyck you are dead to this Jets fan! How dare you!

There are a few people here who are imitating actors impersonating actors they will try to message you and convince you they are only scammers. Just report them when you see them do not talk to them. I just encountered another fake SONG. SEUNGHEON Korean actor.

Today, former Sec. of State, Hillary Clinton, will testify before House Oversight as a part of that committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton testifies tomorrow.

Both she & her husband insisted that their testimony be provided in a public hearing, but Rep. James Comer refused.
