edit: they're
Sadly, too many of the 'Old Guard/Bribed' Democrats (aka Vichycrat's) in office are too comfortable in their ivory towers, the ones at the ground level of this mess are getting ignored if their voters or 'reassigned to Antarctica' if they're in office.
Add another complicit 'legacy' media platform to the ever growing list. History doesn't look very kindly upon them, and the devil is in the details of how they were complicit.
Similar happened to Manchin and Sinema, both sold themselves out to the private sector during their tenure's in the senate, both of them were Democrats. Doesn't matter which party a senator is from, when they sell themselves out, they show their true colors.
Once again, legacy media platforms are complicit while independent platforms are doing the job said legacy platforms should've been doing. Says it all doesn't it.
I'm looking to flee the North American continent in my case. Want to put as much distance between myself and 4547 (refuse to say the bastard's name until otherwise.) as possible.
While those that disagree end up 'disappearing' or removed in some other manner ie: polonium in their drink being favored method for Putin.
Seems like the rightwing nutjobs are channeling their 'Inner Tarkin' with regards to information control. All that's going to do is drive people to seek the tools to get around their censorship (VPN's and proxy servers).
This is adding to an ever increasing number of reasons why I am seriously considering leaving the US and seeking asylum outside the continent. Far too many people are willing to believe the lies that are spewed out and legacy media are all to willing to cover that type of story, instead of doing the job of reporting truth and facts with the solid evidence to back it up. Similar happened nearly a century ago across the Atlantic in Germany, there are quite a number of books and papers covering that topic.
Unfortunately there are far too many Democrats in office (the fossils and donor class owned) that are unfit to meet the moment. The ones (the new ones) that have met the moment, got spurned by their elders.
Unfortunately, too many Democrats in office (the fossils, the ones paid for by the brunchlords) have failed too meet the moment and far too few of the new ones in office are properly equipped to counter the lies that the party of 4547 (refuse to say their name out of spite) spews out at a rapid pace. All while ICE raids are going on at an increasingly alarming rate.
I'd say send the scam robocallers to the scammers currently in office, give them a taste of their own medicine if you will.
Most of the Republican can stand, the exception being Mr. Abbott. The only thing any of them stand for is how much money they can get from it.
Sony isn't exactly keen on learning their lesson from things that people don't want shoved in their face, remember the rootkit fiasco during the early 2000's? That was sure 'fun'.
For the shareholders, gotta have that infinite growth and coin from it.
Add another social media platform the ever increasing modern 'Nazi Bar' list (Twitter/X, Meta owned platforms, Substack).
If VR wants to take take off, it needs good quality software to back the hardware. The downside is that the quality software is short in supply, too many releases are "tech demo" oriented, not "final product" releases.
Once again, publishers and platform holders fail at their own "official" preservation efforts, leaving it to the community to step in with their "unofficial" preservation efforts.
I find it hard to have sympathy for someone like Charlie Kirk, the man played a major role in spreading the ongoing hateful rhetoric against the vulnerable people. However, I do not approve of sniping that hateful being to remove him from the board as there were other legal means to do so (ie: the petition with nearly 1000 signatures that was circulated on campus to keep Charlie Kirk from speaking there). Sadly, this is only going to make things far more difficult in the coming days.
