NPR fights Trump's executive order against public media
The case isn't getting much attention.
But it pits the press's right not to face government retaliation over coverage against the president's assertion of vast executive powers

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

It's been over two weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.
Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.
This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

If lawmakers are walking out of these briefings shaken, that tells you everything. This wasn’t a ‘split-second decision’ or a fog-of-war moment. It was the killing of unarmed, distressed individuals, and the American people deserve full accountability.

We’ve just stopped talking about the disgraceful complicity of every MSM outlet and reporter that has chosen to remain on a site that is an explicitly racist, Nazi cesspool.
It is unconscionable that they have CHOSEN to continue using it as their primary social media platform.

Sorry to sound smug but hearing Hillary Clinton continue Barack Obama and Sarah Hurwitz’s insistence that young people only care about Palestine because TikTok made it trendy really justifies everything I’ve ever said against liberal Democrats. Spineless at best, genocidal at worst.

We are losing what physicist Richard Feynman called “the pleasure of figuring things out”
A not insignificant part of the fatalistic adoption of AI in Higher Ed, I think, is because we have stripped thinking, learning, reading, writing from the idea of pleasure; it has become pure utilitarian product, rather than joyful--and difficult--process.
