I hear you. But at some point more people need to vote to make the US a functional democracy. Then someone like Michelle Obama might very well be elected. And if there is no chance for this, the US is a hopeless case with too much racist baggage.

Credit where credit is due I guess, but IMHO he is a master of nothing and just a demented windbag that lies for a living.
It is still very hard to understand how he is still getting away with all this lying. US media is no longer doing journalism.

Not sure that is what is happening and would think that observing those you mention gives you all the info you need to deduce otherwise. The demented moron in the White House being the prime example. I would suggest the public adds the dimension of interestby being intellectually asleep.

All of it probably, but payoffs by big pharmaceutical companies for most of them are pretty well documented.

He will not. But I am just stating the bleedingly obvious and I would assume you know that.

Yet more little fascist swines coming out of the woodwork.
As researched by people in the field, it is no coincidence that AI breeds swinery as the whole thing very much comes out of surveillance. Meredith Whittaker thoughts on this comes to mind.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social will have trouble keeping up with the headline writers of f**ing NYT .
TBO, it has always been a. bit of a rag.
In 1939 the New York Times was still flattering Hitler and toadying up to the Nazis. Like today pretty much.

They do. Aside from the actual authoritarian admins actions, the complete surrender of US media is just galling.
History repeats itself though, as they did the same with Hitler.

Consider just cancelling it? I did and I for one will not give money to the oligarch fascists. It is like financing the dismantling of our own democracy. Convenience be damned ;)

Well said. Could also be said of the US as a whole.
The racism is a feature of modern American life and not a bug.
The Crime syndicate that is now in charge could only get so far without this history and the conditioning for capitalism and nihilism that currently openly dominates the media.

A pretty large percentage of humans behave like that.
My trick is not to differentiate between family and others in this regard. Just because we are family does not mean we need to accept bad behaviour. My 2 cents FWIW. Be safe, be well.
