Paramount getting their status downgraded to junk should scare and worry investors & shareholders that want to still vote on Skydance's deal to buy WBD because recent news popping up lately probably could connect the dots together. I'm just curious at this point.

In fairness, the survey reveals that both countries are rather perceptive.

A Pew survey found that 53% of American adults describe the morality and ethics of our fellow citizens as “bad.” Meanwhile, in Canada, 92% say their fellow Canadians are good while just 7% say they’re bad. Why are we Americans so down on our fellow citizens?

Ooh, slopmosis is a good one.

Off the top of my head, Franchisteining feels appropriate.

We needed to start a war to avoid a war.

It's also totally insane that Trump was either unaware until today's media reports that Iran could mine the Straight of Hormuz or discounted the threat. And what's his grand plan to stop them from playing this card that could ruin his quick and easy exit? Threaten Iran with... more military action.

This could be the moment that Trump loses control. He could end military action tonight, but if Iran mines the Strait of Hormuz, there's nothing he can do to rapidly mitigate the economic damage as demining could take months. Trump can't overcome this with a TruthSocial post. No quick & easy exit.

If Iran has laid mines in the Strait of Hormuz, it would be a catastrophe for the global economy. It would take weeks or months of specialised work to demine the route. Trump is utterly out of his depth. All of this was long predicted by open source analysis of how a war with Iran could unfold.

their reporting during Trump has been uniformly stellar

Bless you!

anyway @katie-drummond.bsky.social rocks and is clearly getting under their skin

I mean as an old WIRED subscriber the mag certainly was heavy on stuff like smart fridge hype, but it was a different world then. engineers still actually ruled the sector, bankers hadn't infected everything yet, and internet optimism hadn't been tainted by palmer lucky sociopathy

so the lie all these rich assholes tell themselves is that Wired was the one that changed over the last two decades; it wasn't that they revealed themselves to be amoral predators who cozied up immediately to fascism because Lina Khan tried to briefly stop noncompetes

it's fascinating because tech billionaires already enjoy a U.S. tech and business press that's basically a glorified extension of product marketing, and that's still not good enough for them the fact that a handful of outlets dig into real world social implications of bad choices is intolerable

you can tell Wired has been doing good journalism lately because there's been increased whining by the extraction class about how Wired mysteriously changed in the decade since tech titans fully revealed themselves as sociopaths from this recent Dorsey interview:

That's a lot of words for saying, "we lost the narrative."

“epstein class is iranian propaganda” is definitely something i’d expect the epstein class to say

i have seen a really great print of the hazbin guys as the saja boys

did a search because that name sounds way too French to be real, and it turns out not only is it real but Maeva was on Drag Race France and performs under the name La Briochée, which means The Brioche, and may i just say JE SUIS OBSÉDÉ

CNN put together a video illustrating that while Trump regime officials keep describing the Iran strikes as a "war," Republican members of Congress are using all sorts of euphemisms

cant believe no one noticed the clue i left yall #Fundathon #ThisIsAmirica #TheTortureIsJustABonus

absolutely mindblowing line from an email my agent just sent to all her clients. Y'all are SKIPPING AUDITIONS? In THIS ECONOMY??

what you lack in math skills you make up for in enthusiasm!

yeah you could drop $850 for a 30min zoom, sure!

YES!!! Trump tanking the US dollar is the rest of the world's gain!! #ThisIsAmirica

Someone tried to make an account using my email address on one of those speculation market sites, so i ended up on the site to make sure i didnt get scammed. I had never been on the site before, and seeing what these fucking degenerates will bet on is truly fucking demented. God help us all

if you think I give two shits about your opinion or your feelings or anything you have to say,

to anyone angered by this post:

hey hey just another quick reminder to anyone who chose to do anything other than vote for Kamala: no we will never forgive any of your motherfuckers for any of this shit

Trump: "A lot of our people were walking around without legs"

what can i say I know how to line up a shot

Happy Birthday @samhaft.com !

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

It sucks the president is a pedophile who is trying to destroy the constitution, but it’s honestly funny his supporters think that’ll Make America Great Again.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.
