The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was dissolved Monday by its directors, ending 58 years as primary funder for PBS, NPR + local TV and radio stations.
The board of CPB had little choice. Trump + Republicans in Congress last year stripped the organization of its $1.1 billion in federal funds.

I've seen people getting angry and saying Stranger Things botched their D&D timeline because a character is referred to as a sorcerer which was not a class back in the '80s. It wasn't, however it WAS the title of a Magic User of a specific level. dungeonsdragons.fandom.com/wiki/Level_t...
![History
Original D&D
Level titles first appeared in the original D&D game in Men & Magic (1974). In that edition, each character class had a different name for each level, rather than simply a number.
For example, a first-level magic-user is known as a Medium. At each subsequent level they become known as a Seer, Conjurer, Theurgist, Thaumaturgist, Magician, Enchanter, Warlock, Sorcerer, Necromancer, and, at 11th level, a Wizard. Thereafter they are simply known as a 12th-level Wizard, 13th level Wizard, and so on.[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ovv4i64qbqa4ih3jk4yp2d4f/bafkreichyyprierzhkekphpw5tumue7a4o7lwvhwbb2tarzawjrjbjavuq@jpeg)

Let’s be clear: When it comes to Venezuela’s giant oil reserves, America’s oil companies will be making money for themselves. During the 2024 campaign they made a deal with Trump on which they’re still cashing in.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.
He's not all powerful.
A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.

The global human population is at an all time high. The only reason to worry about a "declining" birth rate is because you want to feed them into the maw of capitalism.
