IBM, also one of X’s biggest advertisers, announced it would stop advertising on X Thursday. The company made the decision in response to a report by liberal watchdog Media Matters that found both IBM and Apple’s ads running alongside hate speech. Musk called Media Matters an “evil organization” in response.
Whoever’s job it is to keep a dart gun trained on him, you might want to make sure it’s loaded. Dude’s crackin’.
They’ve admitted it a lot. Where are you getting that disinformation?
Two of these are not being pulverized by a nuclear power at the moment.
What, is this one of those days that ends in a “-y”?
Anyone can be charged with any violation. He’s a billionaire who - specific to this scenario - gained much of his billions by using the press as a cudgel to get the political system to yield to him. He will never be held to account in his lifetime.
As a side note, it’s more clear every single day that media literacy and critical thinking must be core competencies for everyone. We’ve skated on this for a hundred years and the planet is almost dead.
It’s real enough.
During the Russia-friendly presidency of Donald Trump, Carlson emerged as a favourite voice on Kremlin-run television, which regularly rebroadcast his comments dismissing allegations that Moscow had intervened in the US presidential election.
More recently, Carlson has echoed some Kremlin talking points on president Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, which he has described as “a regime-change war” led by the US against Russia.
He has also given credence to evidence-free Russian justifications for the invasion, such as claims that the US set up biological weapons research labs in Ukraine. Carlson has also accused the White House of involvement in blowing up the Nord Stream gas pipeline last year.
Those statements have found a welcome audience on Russian television, which has enthusiastically replayed them on its news programmes and the bellicose political talk shows that fill the country’s airwaves.
I dunno, I don’t think it’s right to defecate to another party. That’s nasty.
I mean, the snark is absolutely warranted but for anyone who’s not clear - yeah. That’s the whole idea. Poor people die working cheaply, then the next crop who don’t know shit yet get promoted and continue happily working for cheap. Capitalism is inherently built to fail in just this way. It’s better than some alternatives, i.e. monarchy, but the end stages are just - this - over and over. No healthcare, more guns.
russia lost on day 4. The rest of this is to see how badly and in what ways. And to save as many Ukrainian lives and civic institutions as possible. Zelenskyy is focused on the latter, lives and infrastructure, as he should be. Slava Ukraini!
Sources said that after Trump heard the FBI wanted to interview Michael last year, Trump allegedly told her, “You don’t know anything about the boxes.”
It’s unclear exactly what he meant by that.
Well that’s just some quality fuckin’ journalism there, abcnews.
is a complete failure of justice. A continued failure. And let’s not think about national security.
You’re fooling yourself!
It’s an interesting twist. Sherlock seems designed to use legal data collection and digital advertising technologies — beloved by Big Tech and online media — to target people for government-level espionage. Other spyware, such as NSO Group’s Pegasus or Cytrox’s Predator and Alien, tends to be more precisely targeted.
So . . . It’s just “digital customer engagement” and all the other euphemisms for online stalking, it’s just that the intent is pre-stated to be nefarious. Hm.
Corporate News is for-profit and run by republiQans. It’s really that simple. Trump showed that corporate news will never do the right thing at the right time, even in the face of the most arrogant, ignorant, outrageous lies and attacks.
It’s time to stop pretending that corporate news can be “saved” and start accepting that it absolutely can not be saved. Then we can move on to a truer form of journalism. We have the ability to publish globally in our hands, literally.
Exsqueeze me? What the amazon fuck, WholeFoods.
“Do you know who I am” is also what the wide-stance republiQan said when he was arrested.
If you’re looking for a good show to binge with someone, it works well. Lots of fun guest stars and guaranteed explosions. It’s not a science documentary, but it’s not garbage reality television, either. Just fun.
Member when microsoft was convicted of being a monopoly? Only took a decade and several judges who didn’t know what a browser was. And then nothing changed. Good times.
To Lukoil, of course.
Not Gazprom, those wankers. Lukoil. Beacon of . . y’know . . freedom or some shit. When the state-managed privately-run petroleum conglomerate buys your country’s main search engine, you know it’s a bad day.
