Netflix Declines to Raise Offer for Warner Bros. - About Netflix

Netflix won't counter Ellison's offer.

Ladies and gentleman, the full right wing power grab is here and will now be beamed into every home on CBS, CNN, HBO, movies from Warner and Paramount.

This is very bad. Handing CNN to Bari Weiss/David Ellison is very, very bad.

'A directive from above': Former NYT editor lays out how the paper pushes anti-trans bigotry In this in-depth interview, former New York Times editor Billie Jean Sweeney details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, how some staff tried to stop it, how it's directe...

As is so often the case, this interview of former NYT editor Billie Jean Sweeney, by @davidforbes.bsky.social, is once again highly relevant to current events.

Sweeney breaks down, in detail, how anti-trans bigotry's pushed from the very top of the company.

Meme of Trump-to-NYT translator: Trump: ... THE SOMALI PIRATES RANSACKED MINNESOTA ... EVEN AS HE WAS GUSHING BLOOD, WHICH WAS FLOWING BACK DOWN THE AISLE HELICOPTER LANDS AT A STEEP ANGLE .... BELIEVE IT OR NOT, HAMAS WORKED ALONG WITH ISRAEL AND THEY DUG, AND THEY DUG, AND THEY DUG... I'VE ALWAYS WANTED THE CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR... NYT Translation: In his first State of the Union address of his second✩ term, President Trump offered a rosy portrait of a U.S. that has lost confidence in his leadership.

Just a New York Times reporter asking Jeffrey Epstein in September 2016: "If you knew Trump was going to win, how would you position your portfolio?"👀

I guess my three main questions for a 2028 Dem presidential candidate would be

-Will you abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved

-Will you prosecute Musk and the DOGE boys

-Will you expand SCOTUS with the aim of neutralizing all Roberts-era jurisprudence

Es ist ganz einfach: Wer überrascht davon ist, dass Alice Schwarzer Alice Weidel abfeiert, hat 30 Jahre lang nicht aufgepasst. Und ALLE, die ihr weiterhin eine Plattform geben um sich als "Cheffeministin Deutschlands" zu profilieren tragen eine Mitschuld an der Normalisierung rechter Propaganda.

The political effects of X's feed algorithm https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10098-2 Received: 16 December 2024 Accepted: 4 January 2026 Published online: 18 February 2026 Open access • Check for updates Germain Gauthier,5, Roland Hodler?5, Philine Widmer35 & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya3,4,5 m Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

DOJ Removed Record of Multiple FBI Interviews with Underage Trump Accuser, Epstein Data Shows The FBI spoke at least four times with a woman who credibly accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor, Epstein files show. That document is no longer accessible on the DOJ website.

NEWS: The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was underage not once — but at least FOUR times. But the document that shows those additional interviews appears to have been deleted from the DOJ website. substack.com/home/post/p-...

This would be less scary if science journalists hadn't completely abandoned science in favor of right wing propaganda on youth trans care already.

This is a 100% elite manufactured craze.

at some point maybe we should do something about the cabal of billionaires intentionally demolishing society so they can profit off the ashes

Screenshot von Spiegel Artikel unter der Überschrift US-Justizministerin räumt Fehler bei veröffentlichten Epstein-Akten ein

Ihr macht euch mit solchen Überschriften der Verharmlosung schuldig, @spiegel.de. Bondi hat in diesem Kreuzverhör beleidigt, gepöbelt, offen Recht gebrochen und ignoriert, kein Interesse an den Opfern und an Aufklärung gezeigt. Und ihr ordnet das so ein? Ihr macht euch überflüssig.

Hahaha. Hahahahahahaha.

Das erklärt wirklich vieles.

Wir sind am Punkt angelangt, wo sie wissen, dass sie ihr abscheuliches Verhalten gar nicht mehr verstecken müssen.

Wow.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Trump is in the unredacted Epstein files "more than a million times," Raskin alleges One document recounts that Trump said he "never" asked Epstein to leave Mar-a-Lago.

Trump shows up over a million times in the unredacted Epstein files. And that's the half they released. Imagine what's in the half they didn't release.

That means that the DOJ redacted Trump's name about 950K times in the 3M documents they released. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

Das ist so fehlgeleitet imho. Die Hauptprobleme der AfD-Wähler:innen sind nämlich nicht, dass kein Bus kommt oder die Kitaplätze knapp sind, sondern die „Umvolkung“, Impfen, „Eliten“, Minderheitenschutz, liberale Demokratie, das ganze „System“. @faznet.bsky.social

Grosse Podcast Hörempfehlung. 💜

it never even occurred to me that this was happening as it happened because it seemed impossible but gotdamn that's the best thing to ever happen during a super bowl halftime.

Bad Bunny isn't an immigrant.

This shit is cooked through. 150 years of being a newspaper and now you're a 4chan comment thread.

Have no fear, New York Times is ON IT.

I had a moment this morning when I realized that all these evil men would just have been depraved internet trolls if we actually taxed the rich.

Es sind immer die, die du am meisten vermutest.

Was auch wieder niemand anspricht:

Wie viele Menschen mit Long COVID wurden seit Beginn der Pandemie in Teilzeit gezwungen, weil ihre Krankheit nicht anerkannt wird,

Menschen, die nach psychosomatischen, ~biopsychosozialen~ Deutungen als arbeitsfähig begutachtet werden?

Ich weiss, ich sollte nicht mehr schockiert sein, aber dieses Interview schockiert mich trotzdem. Das ist kein Journalismus mehr, das ist stenografierte Propaganda im Namen staatlichen Unrechts. archive.is/XLvbc
