Yesterday evening I got an email from Netflix announcing the merger as if it were a done deal. This is bad all around. TV will be further shrunk, prices increased, and sub-par programing in droves. Unfortunately, no one in our current government actually cares about enforcing monopoly/trade laws.
Paramount has launched a hostile bid for the company that's home to Casablanca, Batman and CNN. Just Friday, Netflix and Warner Brothers executives were celebrating a deal they had struck. n.pr/4rAWzRk

Ahead of a visit by New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to the White House, House lawmakers overwhelmingly passed a resolution “denouncing the horrors of socialism,” which passed 285 to 98, with 86 Democrats joining Republicans.

Who is going to be in charge of making sure this war/genocide actually ends? We all know the US can't be trusted to enforce anything.
UPDATE: Israel's cabinet has approved the first stage of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal with Hamas — a move aimed at ending the two-year war in Gaza and freeing hostages on both sides.

Trump wanted a toy, and because he couldn't have it, fired the person that told him no. Like a 4 year old having a tantrum. This is the person that represents us to the rest of the world. A glorified man baby.

Here in WA, voter turnout is FAR higher in even numbered election years than odd. This should be standard.
This fall, New York City voters will weigh in on a proposal that could move future city elections to even-numbered years. It's part of a growing trend to consolidate election dates.
New York City may move its mayoral elections to even years. It'd be part of a trend

Are people that perpetrate mass violence just scribing their manifestos on shell casings now? This is turning into a joke.
"early evidence" suggests the suspected shooter was "anti-ICE in nature" due to writings found on bullet casings near the gunman.

Some GOP officials want to clamp down on perceived expressions of schadenfreude about Charlie Kirk's death. Conservative activists are publicizing social media posts that are "celebrating" his death.
