TikTok is removing clips of the leaked 60 Minutes segment.
The Ellison family (which acquired Paramount — CBS’s parent company — and The Free Press, making Bari Weiss Editor-in-Chief of CBS) is set to co-own TikTok through a Trump-backed deal.

Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

Leftists like me get a reputation for being smug and detached but it’s honestly nothing but depressing to watch whiny journalists mewling about paywalls yesterday and sharing torrent links today

On a long enough timeline, every tech-brained dilettantist will reinvent Roko’s Basilisk and get spooked by the scary machine in their brain
empiricism can’t bypass theory omfg lmfao!!!!!
metaphysical and ontological questions matter!!!

I question how useful that habit can be with strangers in any way (and it’s twice as grating), but it is kind of just the zoomer version of recommending a book about a contentious topic. It contains the arguments yes, but also a lot of detail to support them
A personal note about this, by the way: I will never have anything but the deepest contempt for people who respond to a discussion of a film by linking a youtube video about why it's bad, and The Last Jedi brings those people out in fucking droves. Have your own thoughts! Brew your own invective!
And I remember watching that shift happen in real time! For a good long while, you basically could not talk about the film publicly (online or IRL at a party) without someone coming up and regurgitating a youtube video at you about how you were wrong, and it sucked, and had Ruined Star Wars

It’s surprising how much the “boo boo piracy is evil” crowd operates off of mealy mouthed dishonesty. Two dozen weirdos accused me of “just wanting to steal” yesterday and today I’m rallying my cousins to patronize a socialist bookstore which is closing so the owner doesn’t end up in debt

It’s very funny to me that tons of Brits always drink piss warm beer because they don’t understand why their grandpa’s bartender used to do that

Guessing they considered taking a photo of a woman reading in public, stopped themselves because "huh, for some reason it feels like I'm being a weirdo" and then did no further introspection.

Any time you point out basic facts like “most democrats took a fat check from United HealthCare to kill my grandma” these chuds start to spit out any playground insult that they can remember

A lot of people are trying to point out that both could be true, but that misses the point Liberal Currents is (always) making: that it is only okay to manage wealth and capital, and never to attack either
“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”
Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Actually Tom’s point is that he is a devoted Republican and a racist who is trying to smuggle his racist ideas into left-liberal spaces
I believe Tom's point is that MAGA and Trump are fascists, their world view is fascist, but the US govt is not a consolidated, consummate, fascism regime. It's current status is probably a competitive authoritarian government, or at least backsliding rapidly into that category 6 mo's in

On the one hand The Mountain Goats playing in Rochester is one of the cooler shows to come out this way in a while and John Darnielle is a living saint, but I don’t really love more than like 4 of their songs and I resent the implication by all those advertisers tracking me that this is an easy sale

The last noteworthy thing Dianne Feinstein did before dying in office riddled with dementia was sneer at a bunch of children for begging her not to destroy the planet they have to live on
Exactly, the Dems' "condescension problem" is almost entirely a creation of right-wing media.
Honestly think the only way to solve the condescension problem is to stop insisting that we have one. It's very obvious why your opponent would call you condescending for being smart and right; stand up for yourself!

You are arguing with a lifelong Republican who proudly endorses racist policies and is currently trying to launder them into the Democratic Party
And it is 100% Aaron Sorkin-brained to think that the thin margin she lost by was a function of people rigorously scrutinizing her positions from years prior and not the fact that she is a Black woman, that she had only a few months to mount a campaign, that a lot of people were pissed re: Biden ...

This is maybe tough to admit for the approximately 1% of the US it applies to but the entire Iraq War was a crime and all of its veterans are war criminals
That was silly of her, but at least she's not Schumer. She actually visited the Naval Base then the protesters. bsky.app/profile/duck...
