Another perspective of the exact same behaviour is their either/or of DEI and 'meritocracy'. It's clear from their hiring histories that 'whiteness' is the only "merit" they value.

This is true. And AI engineers everywhere have their work cut out for them. Most platforms have not been informed at all and the platforms that know can't figure out who IS.

That is only the most obvious effect of racial inequity. Even more insidious is the inequity of being denied the opportunity to even achieve 'merit' based on systemic inequities in education and employment.

They never have. It is the sole source of their pride.

True, but they do make exceptions. Loyalty to a Clown is also considered 'merit'.

So he is admitting he's a liar? He's always claimed to be a 'free speech absolutist', but his statement proves that that is a lie.

Because he can't monetize what he doesn't own. The assumption is that one of his companies will take over the contract, and he can soak the taxpayers, Pharmecutical companies, and the Medical community for the privilege.

An "Artificial Propaganda" (AP) application. Wish I'd thought of it first. It would be useful in responding to the moron's multiple Propaganda accounts on Twitter....yes Twitter. I still insist on "The Gulf of Mexico" as well.

This is necessary for any functioning society. I only hope that the major players return to independence and stop selling theirs for money. I saw little indication of any response to Leavitt's threats to hold 'liars' accountable for not supporting WH lies.

I have "The Beatles Again" aka "Hey Jude" which was the 1970 release of their non-album singles. I'll have to check the track listings to see what I'm missing.

I'm not really an 'all the hits and nothing but the hits' kind of collector. When I'm in that mood I turn on the radio or a streaming service. When I listen to albums I always play the entire album. I do have several "greatest hits' releases though

I don't think I have either one, since I have all the albums that the compilations represent. I suppose I should get them just to complete the discography, but there are many other holes in my collection that need filling. I am going to guess that both compilations are excellent👍😀

Point of fact is that CNN as an organization has long platformed, and provided implicit endorsement, of authoritarianism. Jennings is a master propagandist. He knows it and CNN bosses do as well.

I believe they may still be so outraged about the 1000 or so deaths that occurred over a year ago, that they really haven't noticed the 40000 or so deaths of Palestinians. They seem entirely onboard with the whole ethnic cleansing agenda.

It's a serious mistake to view this as JUST a distraction. While it does serve that purpose, it is also a parallel path to end government.

National Security was NEVER the point of the excercise. The few individuals pulling the strings are only interested in personal power and security. The Clown isn't at the top of that food chain. At this point he is about level with Elon and the ones above are laughing their asses off.

When I'm asked what the most non-Sabbath track that Sabbath ever recorded I mention "Fluff". Back in the day I even wrote lyrics for that instrumental.

I was a 25 yr old bartender when the club booked Patti. Most miserable work night I can recall and the punk crowd was obnoxious and loud. I don't recall any of the music, but given the year I'm certain it was the "Horses" tour. I refused to listen to punk until I began collecting music 20 years ago.

I 'hated' the whole punk scene in the 70s (I worked a really rowdy Patti Smith concert). I avoided punk music like the plague for 30 years until I first heard this album, and the PS album of that concert ("Horses") Both are in my top 10 of all time.

First we had the Koch TP'rs, then we got the Clown Cult MAGAts, now we have Elon's Muskovites, What is it about the GOP's willingness to sell itself to the Billionaire Flavor of the Month?

"1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do." Snyder

It's not saying nearly enough. I'd lose the word 'may'. At least we all realized that Tucker was a moronic imbecile. Jennings is much smoother and more skilled at his brand of propaganda and obsfucation.
