The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family?

It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

A lot of people are pointing out that copyright rules are breaking under the weight of generative AI, which exploits creative labour at scale. The solution is not to erect digital walls, but to treat collective knowledge as a public good and fund it collectively.

Haberman not even bothering to go with the "Trump moves" or "Trump says" qualifier. "Trump dismissed" Cook, in an "aggressive" move. Never mind the law.

The FBI, who was investigating Hillary Clinton’s emails, helped Hillary orchestrate a collusion hoax to distract from their investigation.

That’s what Michael Shellenberger and Alex Gutentag (twitter handle “galexybrane”) want you to believe.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Why is it that execs salaries and bonuses never affect prices or jobs but raise the salary of workers and they call it a job killer or raise prices.

I’d rather pay higher prices because employees are making 15$ than pay more because executives are lying about inflation and tariffs while pocketing the money in bonuses and stocks.
