Keith, what can we do about YouTube now DONATING MILLIONS to Trump for a totally BS Jan. 6th decision that was entirely within their legal authority and power? I feel like we MUST push back against YouTube, like we did against Disney/ABC, but I'm not sure where our power is on this.

Protective Hen❌👑 @protectivehen.bsky.social · 12d

Please let us know what we can do - we rose up against the Kimmel firing. We can rise up against YouTube. Move to Vimeo? Do Substack videos use YT? This is pure BULLSHIT, another act of extortion. This is the problem with monopolies. It is just like Hitler & the German corporations.

We did it to Disney/ABC. What is our backlash against #YouTube & @newsfromgoogle.bsky.social? Do we #BoycottGoogle #BoycottYouTube? Our influencers move to @vimeo.com? Or Substack? @newsfromgoogle.bsky.social TRUMP IS AN INSURRECTIONIST TRYING TO OVERTHROW DEMOCRACY FUCK YOUR PAYOFF, FUCK YOU.

Thank you!! In other words, the angle of the story can be about the disinfo effort itself and includes all the context about how novel and extreme the action is, and the potential motivations, interests, as well as techniques of plausible deniability, etc.

Julie Brown is a hero in every sense. Her relentless reporting ripped open the Jeffrey Epstein case when powerful people wanted it buried. Honestly, I don’t think we’d even be talking about Epstein today if it weren’t for her. Please consider following her: @jkbjournalist.bsky.social

We cannot move forward or escape this nightmare until mainstream figures finally admit that there are many, many people on the right - including some of its most powerful voices - who are openly seeking violence and tyranny and exploit every situation to move it closer.

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness.

Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

we’re gonna get some prominent person’s leaked AI fuck chats and I would like to opt out of that discourse now

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 19d

Grok's sexy AI "companions" are being powered by listening in on user's private conversations with chatbots, say former workers.

"It made me feel like I was eavesdropping... like people clearly didn't understand that there's people on the other end listening to these things."

Behind Grok's 'sexy' settings, workers review explicit and disturbing content

Workers say they've faced sexually explicit content while xAI has marketed Grok to be deliberately provocative. Experts say the company should be cautious.

who understands how the money flows here? do the affiliates pay for the right to air a show? do they pay a penalty for not airing it? is it a percentage of ad sales thing?

A Bluesky algo that corrects for timezone would be useful, for West Coast US people to catch up with East Coast talk, or for other timezone clashes like that.

I'm sure if a Democratic elected official mandated that a left-wing organization had to be given access to all of a state's public schools, they would be completely fine with it and would never ever call it "grooming" or "indoctrination" or anything.

Wish people would stop saying Trump has done a U-turn on Ukraine. He does this every few weeks. Putin then makes a violent point of ignoring him. Trump's alleged change of heart is just a prelude to his next humiliation by Putin.
