Threatening to punish app stores if they don’t remove apps the government dislikes is unconstitutional.This time it’s ICEBlock, but tomorrow it could be a news app.
Good for ICEBlock for standing up for everyone’s First Amendment rights.

Something every 2026/28 Dem should commit to is investigations of any company that did deals with Trump. A kind of forward guidance to get companies to think twice in advance of what’s coming.
Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him
New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

Young Republicans are looking for Trump to “be their Franco” but don’t you dare call them fascists.

He invented the ACA
Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

One of the most deceitful practices I regularly see in White-majority debates is when they fill a room with trained media analysts and journalists, but the only Black voice they can find is an entertainer. You will never see Cyndi Thomson or Bobby Bones trotted out this way and we all know why.

So every time I tell a doctor that I stopped having a period after my first time having COVID, they give me a blank look and say "I've never heard of that" and then just pretend I never said it and are like, cool, you're in menopause, great!

It’s legitimately insane how little the average woman knows about peri menopause and menopause symptoms.
I just learned that menopause can cause sciatica pain. Literally what the hell man

If they hadn’t burned all the witches and midwives back in the day, we’d probably know more about perimenopause and menopause right now. We know fuck all about a condition that half the population goes through because men are a bunch of plonkers*

Sooo true. I’ve tried to explain the realities of working in various art industries to friends and family and often their discomfort leads to misdirected anger or blaming back at you. It conflicts with what we all agree should be fair and so in turn it must be “because you’re not business smart”

But I think you are right about people not wanting to think about it too. They don't want to hear that the creator of a character in their "favorite IP" died too young or couldn't afford to pay for cancer treatments because they don't get a fair cut. It "ruins THEIR day"

I'm seeing a lot of the same take of "you should have negotiated a better contract" and people need to understand that most don't have the option.

I think some people are genuinely ignorant.
Most convos I have had with non-creatives in the past decade have revealed that the average person assumes prosperity for the artists working on mainstream hits like Deadpool or X-Men. Because they can see those characters are worth millions.
