More grist for my mill; another example of domestic battles over bias ultimately threatening a valuable geopolitical asset (the World Service)
Mail Online reports Nigel Farage says that the BBC may have no future.
He imagines bringing to an end century of public service broadcasting in the UK - because the populist politician and his US political ally Donald Trump do not want the BBC to survive
No thanks, Nigel.
No thanks, Donald

One of science’s biggest dinosaur debates may finally be settled
For decades, paleontologists debated whether fossils were of a young T. rex or a species called nanotyrannus. A new study settles it: Nanotyrannus is real.

you do not, in fact, need to engage seriously with people with toxic ideas.
You don’t “engage”, you amplify, mainstream and normalize.

Republicans in the 1950s were mad that the Soviet's so-called "Hate America" propaganda campaign falsely accused the US of planning to build concentration camps for dissidents and undesireables.
Now they are mad that the No Kings protests are criticizing their actual concentration camps.

The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for
