I've been off Bluesky for like a month and come back to find centrists are trying to defend someone with a Nazi tattoo and Trump is literally demolishing the White House, glad it's all going well then

The problem with all this is, at what place can we make things? Mergers + exec turmoil for so many years now at so many companies and all us entertainment workers and artists just want to make stories for people who want to watch them. Hard to do so when axes hang over your head and nothing greenlit
the AT&T-->Time Warner-->Discovery series of media mergers were some of the most pointless and disastrous business exercises ever conceived by man
so of course we're going to do it again
this time it's rumored they want $60 billion to sell this mess to Larry Ellison and whatever's left of CBS

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

The offer made to women in the enticement to become trad wives is the same as the offer made to citizens in the enticement to embrace authoritarianism: give up. Abandon the aspiration to self rule. It’s imprisonment recast as rest and relief.
A gender lens remains one of the best ways to understand far right authoritarian regimes. Male order is imposed through a family-like structure, with women subservient and children taught that fear is the price of belonging www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why strongmen rely on women at home
Fascist regimes pushed narratives of domestic bliss, yet relied on women’s unpaid labor. In the US today, ‘womanosphere’ influencers promote the same fantasies

I teach history and philosophy courses primarily to kinesiology majors. Sometimes, they are writing intensive, sometimes less so.

Tom Homan, who was later named President Trump’s border chief, was recorded in September 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI investigation, according to people familiar with the case, which was later closed by Trump administration officials.
Trump Justice Dept. Closed Investigation Into Tom Homan for Accepting Bag of Cash

if I can give a piece of "theory of change" advice: never never never make a purchasing decision to stay away from a brand for ethical reasons *without letting them know that's what you've done*.
they don't have a way to know otherwise. spend 5 minutes and send an email to the company.

this seems like sensible advice if you live in the US and want to do effective protest about Kimmel:

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.
