• On the post: CBS’ Remaining Journalists Seem Confused As To Why Bari Weiss Sucks At Journalism

  

  Bloof ( profile ), 07 Jan, 2026 @ 05:36am

  She was never a journalist she was always an opinion columnist hired because she had the right connextions. Never forget she rose to fame by trying to get professors fired for having opunions other than 'everything Israel does is kind, justified and legal.' If she was in a role equal to her actual abilities, she'd have been selling ads at an failing newspaper coasting on it's unearned legacy, not writing op eds for them and she certainly wouldn't be killing journalism at CBS. The mainstream media continues to fail even discussing her, referring to her as 'Maga curious' when she happily provided an outlet and a right wing filter to spread the emails Elon selected to release from Twitter, and is actively trying to block anything that portrays the Trump admin as the ghouls they are.

  I genuinely believe that within the next three years, there will be a concerted push to declare empathy a mental illness as much of what they attack as 'woke', 'TDS' or 'lib' simply boils down to being willing to help others because they need it. Fascist neck piercing enthusiast Charlie Kirk was alreafy floating trial balloons, attacking empathy in his speeches and podcast, and grifters reading conservative think tank talking points are usually where the next target of GOP attacks is lined up in their sights.

  I'm sure he'll get right on that. What he's doing isn't an all out attempt to create a new propaganda outlet, the days when broadcast media can shift opinions are coming to a close, what he is doing with this, and his attempt to buy CNN, is removing one more voice speaking out against the descent into fascism, one less place for people doing actual journalism can get paid.

  Who would have thought you can't build an institution on nothing but spite? Conservatism is a disease, it cannot exist without a host and it certainly can't grow a new one from scratch. Look at all the failed attempts to create conservative counterparts to things like Twitter, where it took a billionaire buying the real thing for them to get one that didn't implode within a few years.

  If you hire purely for loyalty, you won't get competence. Part of doing a good job is saying when something won't work, is morally wrong or is a bad idea, and they're firing everyone prepared to do so.

• On the post: How Generative AI Is Enabling More Connections With True Fans

  

  Bloof ( profile ), 30 Dec, 2025 @ 06:59am

  'If you're a true fan of a thing, you'll want to see all works based on it taken by billionaire techbros and ground up into a pulp then regurgitated back in a soulless way that ensures there's little chance of anything truly innovative happening with it ever again. Oh and mostnof the people who made it worth liking tobbegin with will be rendered unemployed. Oh and you'll ignore all the environmental harms it vauses, like a true fan.'

• On the post: Senator Endorses Discredited Doctor’s Book On A Chemical He Claims Treats Everything From Autism To Cancer

  

  Bloof ( profile ), 30 Dec, 2025 @ 03:53am

  Stop. This isn't a medicine used to treat other conditions within humans like hydroxychloroquine or the other antiparasitics people pretended were cures for covid because they killed the virus in vitro, this is a substance used as an industrial bleach and in water purification tablets. It is not safely metabolised by the human body and people have been pushing this dangerous scam long enough for doctors to know the harm that it does. This is not medicine, there is no safe amount.

  This is the chemical that people sold as 'Miracle Mineral Solution' to the parents ofnautistic children, who sang it's praises because their behaviour changed once they were given it, because they were literally being tortured with the substance whenever they were deemednto be a problem, and they were pooping out worms, which turned onto be the lining of their intestines. Everyone who promotes this should be prosecuted, end of.

  Bloof ( profile ), 26 Dec, 2025 @ 04:13am

  If there's anything UK institutions love, it's clinging to broken tech that's causing false arrests right up until it finally gets media coverage and can't be swept under the rug. Just ask the post office.

• On the post: LG Forces TV Owners To Use Microsoft ‘AI’ Copilot App You Can’t Uninstall And Nobody Asked For

  And every LG smart TV owner will be added to stats which MS and OpenAI will pretend are willing and active users of CoPilot to try and keep the number going up.

• On the post: Google Built Its Empire Scraping The Web. Now It’s Suing To Stop Others From Scraping Google

  

  Bloof ( profile ), 24 Dec, 2025 @ 11:52am

  The scraping sound is the noise of multiple ladders being pulled up by Google, pulling the ladder up on the content creators they built their business on, and pulling up a different ladder to stop smaller AI companies doing the same.

• On the post: MAGA Legislators Want To Add Mercenaries To Trump’s Perverse Take On The ‘War On Drugs’

  

  Bloof ( profile ), 24 Dec, 2025 @ 11:34am

  Erik Prince spent much of Trump's first term trying to privatise the war in Afghanistan. Now every position and policy deemed toxic 5 years ago is being enacted so he'll have his 100% for profit oil war before 28.

  It's all about censorship and their ability to do so. It's hard to win propaganda wars when people are posting videos from the ground on a platform the right have no leverage over. They still bent the knee like all the other tech companies but it wasn't far enough.

  They're just going to announce the latest point something iteration of western models in response to chinese performance gains and the tiny boosts in 'performance' will somehow use even more power and water than before. The bubble will keep on inflating until the VC money well runs dry or Trump has a freakout at Taiwan becausenhe realises the people there aren't white and tries to give them the Ukraine treatment.

  Doomer is the new 'Trump Derangement Syndrome', a quite frankly stupid way of dismissing legitimate concerns about the technology and it's impact on the world.

  Why this author's trail of attacks on evryone that is against AI doesn't stink of astroturfing at all. Nothing to see here.

  At this point, I wouldn't at all be shocked to find out Trump has been distributing Fentanyl and is planning ti legalise if before the end of his term. Evwry time he's accused anyone of anything, it had turned out that he's done or is doing that thing right no and is profiting from it.

  'Won' Media outlets in the US rolled over because their parent companies wanted something Trump could nix, likenyet another pointless megamerger. The beeb don't want anything from Trump so he'd have a far harder time getting a big cash payout., but he's welcome to come to the UK and she for reputational damage, it'd be interesting to see him go up against a judiciary he didn't pack with dribbling loons.

  Come on now, Nintendo have done enough lousy stuff without inventing 'They're imprisoning kids and hate everyone in their fanbase, especially you!' type hyperbole. The bullpoop is just a distraction from the very real issues and makes their critics look silly.
