Nexstar needed to score points with Trump to get a $6.2 billion merger approved by the FCC so they targeted Kimmel to curry favor.

“Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.”
Trump campaigned on lowering grocery prices. All major grocery categories are now more expensive than they were a year ago.

@apnews.com This is a downright bizarre way to describe a coordinated campaign by right-wing provocateurs to punish people for openly discussing how Kirk's efforts hurt them. He didn't deserve to be murdered, but that doesn't make any of the awful things he said less awful.
After Charlie Kirk's death, workers learn the limits of free speech in and out of their jobs
In the days following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, numerous workers have been fired for their comments on his death, among them MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd.

A jury's ability to say "No" is one of the last safeguards of a free country against a tyrannical state.
Bondi and Pirro are fighting hard to undermine juries who refuse to prosecute their over-charged and weak cases. They won't stop.
May every juror be mindful of the weight of their duty.

“Nullification” describes the decision of a trial or 'petit' jury to reject the application of law altogether. In the case of grand juries declining to return indictments, it is someone else rejecting the law.
Grand Juries Aren’t ‘Nullifying’ Anything. They’re Doing Their Jobs.
Just because they’re often rubber stamps for prosecutors doesn’t mean they should be.

Now we see:
- Forcing out career prosecutors to appoint toadies.
- Overbroad charges against low-level protesters.
- Bringing cases so weak that multiple grand refuse to return indictments.

I’m genuinely not sure how this isn’t bigger news. A former Army intelligence soldier, who is a descendent of Mahatma Ghandi apparently, and whose father is a retired Army intelligence general, was arrested in July related to a protest he attended in June. 😳😳😳😳😳😳

I can't wait until a couple of years from now when some startup bro announces a revolutionary new approach: reducing computing costs and business expenses by completely replacing AI with real human workers. Investors will go wild and we'll come full circle after the AI bubble pops.
Such gigs are part of a new category of work spawned by the generative AI boom that threatened to displace creative jobs across the board: Anyone can now write blog posts or produce a graphic, but AI-generated content rarely makes for a satisfactory final product on its own.
Humans are being hired to make AI slop look less sloppy
