Paramount's hostile takeover doesn't have the spin something like Disney buying Fox did. The zeitgeist here isn't "yay Wolverine can be in the MCU now," it's going to be "Trump is directly getting involved in making sure Saudi Arabia owns Bugs Bunny" and any Dem not running against that is a fool

Biden's been out of office all year and he's still paying for signing Israel blank checks; it'd be hilarious if it wasn't horrible

I wrote about CNN partnering with a gambling app that lets you wager on famine in Gaza, what this shift portends in our media, the obvious moral hazards of this arrangement, and “news” as politically impotent, disempowering spectator sport

neat how five years after the beginning of a (still ongoing) lethal and mass disabling pandemic plus learning loss effects which we still don’t fully understand pundits want us to focus on the out of nowhere scandal of college students wanting more disability accommodations. real death drive shit

once again jealous NYC bagged such a better mayor

why lie about this happening at a temple when its (publicly available) address is elsewhere entirely? why bring an unrelated rabbi in to this at all? why are you intent on making an event built on colonial violence synonymous with all jewish faith? THAT'S what makes people unsafe! the nerve!

The “private event” in question was put on by the Consulate General of Israel. It featured Goni Saar from Elbit Systems and the Israel Police Attache to North America, Gal Ben Ish. It took place at Audrey Irmas Pavilion, an events venue, not Wilshire Boulevard Temple.

liberals live to yell "hypocrisy!" without looking in the mirror

omg late but yes ;;

Reject AI "Art" Resist the ceding of your soul

AI music is a disgrace, an affront to art, and something for us all to reject wholesale.

Not only does it hurt artists, it makes our lives far worse and threatens that which makes us human.

The highest-ranking Democrat in the House went on to explain the concept as, "When you work hard and play by the rules in the United States of America, there should be no ceiling to the success that you can achieve." The idea posits that everyone should have the government's support to pursue the American Dream without limiting the success available to those already at the top.

It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

Not voting for anyone who refuses to “look back.”

I “look forward” to candidates who will punish all of the Nazis who did this.

How to Sell a Genocide - Pluto Press A gripping exposé of how the corporate media fuelled genocide in Gaza

I wrote a book about US media’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. It's available for pre-order. It’s a data-driven and, I hope, thorough account of how center-left media sold the American public on mass death in Gaza.

Out 4/21. 100% of royalties go to @mecaforpeace.bsky.social.

anyway, Spock is loved very much

what do you MEAN [redacted]

obviously he's not some gleeful fascist, but I would never consider such a dismissive person an ally without a lot of reflection on his part about why he's so, consistently Like That when he could just. Not post?

he's like this whenever trans rights are jeopardized (context here: Harris fumbling our votes even a little meant we *deserve* to lose our rights, in Ian world!) Absolutely loves talking down to trans people. That he's still at it doesn't surprise me at all deer.social/profile/did:...

"Where is Gavin Newsom?"

The state & local Democratic Party are complicit. Newsom & Karen Bass send the police after protesters & community members.

entirely personal anecdote but I was so infuriated by #FreeLink being necessary (by him getting banned while a transphobe walked) that I left the protocol entirely for Blacksky — but Bsky is still all there is as far as actually using ATP goes. Whole situation is frustrating and drove me away.

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.

The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Support community organizers and share information from people on the ground!

The media focus on LA has died down so elected officials don't feel the need to even feign opposition. Back to business as usual!

Fact: One of the biggest hurdles LLM devs built for themselves by overhyping their chatbot, being idiots, and leveraging the entire global economy on their pipe dream is that they constantly need *more data* that they can be sure an LLM did NOT generate. If there's a company with data, they want it.

Right. So this says "TurboTax" but they mean "parent company of TurboTax: Intuit, who will extend this to all their holdings."

For those who are not up on finance world mergers, that's:
- TurboTax
- Credit Karma
- QuickBooks
- Mint (not mentioned in article)
- Mailchimp

ooh rates ooh every finance peddling business I've ever had the displeasure of interacting with wants me to refinance so bad it makes them look stupid
