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. about.netflix.com/en/news/netf...

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?

Delighted to announce that following the consultation, I'm giving the green light to make Oxford Street traffic-free.

‘I Could Totally Do That,’ Says Correct Man Watching Luge Event

The reason this guy has so much trouble answering this question, compared to Southern politicians in the Jim Crow south or someone like Nick Fuentes, is that he's not willing to use the same language he uses in the group chat to express himself in a public forum like a Senate hearing.

my theory why tech bros have gone insane is that tech optimism was their fuel for awhile. that began to fade as the future was looking less utopian and was obviously always about getting infinite money. when the public began to turn on big tech, tech turned to reactionary ideology to fill the void

If Ridge had made this statement a year ago, two years ago, five years ago, ten years ago, it would have been brave & principled & made knowing there would be a personal cost. But making it now? It's none of those things.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

What about if it’s like 500 times

Same in the UK, probably getting worse with the disappearance of ‘intellectual’ Tories & Reform’s glorification of pig ignorance. I never know how to articulate this without making the problem worse! (As demonstrated above.)

Board of Peace - Season 1

America, what the actual fuck is wrong with you. > Demonstrators alleged that one of the pastors, David Easterwood, was the acting field director of the St Paul Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office. Bondi announced the arrests on social media on Thursday morning.

mmmmmm spectrum

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

File this under: "language specific packaging: still dumb"

Bluetooth speakers are insane. Turns out having platforms add special cases for bad devices, and devices having special cases for bad platforms, leads to bad mojo. Who knew?

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

I have a meme for that. 🫶

Badenoch discovering that the more people you concentrate in a location, the more crime you get. Can someone send her on a GCSE Sociology course please?

loooooooool

Finally got a projector to see my visual noodles off screen. Looking surprisingly good even on a coloured wall! Next stop, Sphere Vegas... 🤣

Open source, highly accurate emulations of synths of huge cultural significance. Yes please! Amazing work

> For me, the lesson learned is the following: when choosing tools in a corporate environment where procurement is non-trivial, I must evaluate the vendor’s business model. For anything other than throwaway work, not just in a corporate environment... Growing wealth inequality creates this insanity

I gave this Game Gear an overdue upgrade. USB-C rechargeable batteries, clean audio board with stereo support, new shell, IPS screen, and HDMI output.

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

What an absolute farce. Would be a shame if someone put all of this in a cryptographically secure, tamper-proof repository now wouldn't it?

I'm going to create an alternative crowdsourced, database of YouTube video content to help people avoid The Very Unhealthy Algorithm, and limit their search results by preference on AI. I'm calling it HumanTube. Actually wait, I also need ideas for the name. Cheers
