One of the reasons Trump is so successful is that people are so "race tired" they have forgotten ( or do not wish to engage) with all his dog whistles so they don't have to talk to the people he is dog whistling about

Corporation for Public Broadcasting Addresses Operations Following Loss of Federal Funding fyi in & Print August 1, 2025 WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 1, 2025) - The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations following the passage of a federal rescissions package and the release of the Senate Appropriations Committee's FY 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor-H) appropriations bill, which excludes funding for CPB for the first time in more than five decades. For nearly 60 years, CPB has carried out its Congressional mission to build and sustain a trusted public media system that informs, educates, and serves communities across the country. Through partnerships with local stations and producers, CPB has supported educational content, locally relevant journalism, emergency communications, cultural programming, and essential services for Americans in every community. "Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations," said CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison. "CPB remains committed to fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities and supporting our partners through this transition with transparency and care." CPB informed its employees today that the majority of staff positions will conclude with the close of the fiscal year on September 30, 2025. A small transition team will remain through January 2026 to ensure a responsible and orderly closeout of operations. This team will focus on compliance, final distributions, and resolution of long-term financial obligations, including ensuring continuity for music rights and royalties that remain essential to the public media system.

New, by me: Lovense, a maker of internet-connected sex toys, has confirmed it fixed a pair of security flaws that exposed users' private email addresses and put accounts at risk of takeovers. Now the company's CEO says he might sue.

I have gotten flack in the past for how much I advocate for physical media, but we are veering dangerously close to an "all-license" future where we don't actually own anything.

If I pay for a product, I want to actually own it. Period.

And I think if you can truly get it physically, you should.

Every time I see a politician scapegoating immigrants, here’s what upsets me the most: Immigrants are always the tool not the audience of the messaging. They’re counted on to simply stay quiet, grateful & work harder no matter how much vilification they’re exposed to. This expectation is crushing.

Was talking to someone about what kids will be like growing up using AI chat apps and that is a freaky ass idea

Journalists Are Starving in Gaza “I used to chase the truth. Now I chase calories.”

"Journalists in Gaza have risked bombs, bullets, and now starvation to tell the stories those in power don’t want told. Their courage is remarkable," Seth Stern told @meghnadbose.bsky.social in @columjournreview.bsky.social.

Sans intervention immédiate, les derniers reporters de Gaza vont mourir 21 juillet 2025 L'AFP travaille avec une pigiste texte, trois photographes et six pigistes vidéo dans la Bande de Gaza depuis le départ de ses journalistes staff courant 2024. Avec quelques autres, ils sont aujourd'hui les seuls à rapporter ce qu'il se passe dans la Bande de Gaza. La presse internationale est interdite d'entrer dans ce territoire depuis près de deux ans. Nous refusons de les voir mourir. L'un deux, Bashar, collabore pour l'AFP depuis 2010, d'abord comme fixeur, ensuite comme photographe pigiste, et depuis 2024 comme principal photographe. Samedi 19 juillet, il est parvenu à poster un message sur Facebook: « Je n'ai plus la force de travailler pour les médias. Mon corps est maigre et je ne peux plus travailler ». Bashar, 30 ans, travaille et vit dans des conditions égales à celles de tous les Gazaouis, allant d'un camp de réfugiés à un autre camp au gré des bombardements israéliens. Depuis plus d'un an il vit dans le dénuement le plus total et travaille en prenant d'énormes risques pour sa vie. L'hygiène est pour lui un problème majeur, avec des périodes de maladies intestinales sévères. Bashar vit depuis février dans les ruines de sa maison de Gaza City avec sa mère, ses quatre frères et sœurs et la famille d'un de ses frères. Leur maison est vide de tout aménagement et confort, à part quelques coussins. Dimanche matin, il a rapporté que son frère aîné était « tombé, à cause de la faim ». Même si ces journalistes reçoivent un salaire mensuel de l'AFP, il n'y a rien à acheter ou alors à des prix totalement exorbitants. Le système bancaire a disparu, et ceux qui pratiquent le change entre les comptes bancaires en ligne et l'argent liquide prennent une commission de près de 40%. L'AFP n'a plus la possibilité d'avoir un véhicule et encore moins de l'essence pour permettre à ses journalistes de se déplacer pour leurs reportages. Circuler en voiture équivaut de toutes les façons à pre…

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency.

They are out of energy and they are starving to death.

I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it.

imo it’s still in the techy phase for tinkerers but tech bros don’t realize that no one but fiddlers want to fiddle with a bunch of skeleton tech filled with jargon

why do we pretend they’re journalists again?

“Some Trump advisers believe the deportations are more popular than polls reflect, based on some people's unwillingness to tell pollsters their true views on the issue.”
