Fuck this is some sick shit. Decades of silicon valley brainworms and being surrounded by yes-men have genuinely turned the brains of these tech bros into soup. IMO, anyone whose greed facilitates real, tangible harms like this needs to be made an example of by the justice system. Not "fined" or "sanctioned" but put in custody and denied access to their system of enablers. Goddamn, Musk and his billionaire cohort make me see red.

    In the aerial photo uploaded to X, there is a group of about eight people near the stage, to the centre, wearing purple shirts. As reported by the Star, and other media, there were hundreds of protesters concentrated by the main stage, compared to thousands of Ford Fest attendees sprawled across the park. Near the stage, protesters were among dozens of Ford supporters, including political staff and invited stakeholders. The aerial photo appears to show blue balloons, while a Star reporter observed only purple and pink balloons in the crowd by the main stage. vs.

    “For nearly eight years, she reported in the same assertive, accountability-focused manner that CityNews had long encouraged in all their journalists, and at no point was she advised that pursuing politicians for answers was contrary to any Rogers policy,” Yazdani’s claim reads. “At all material times, Ms. Yazdani followed the established editorial process, with her scripts, footage, and story framing being reviewed and approved by producers with full access to the raw materials. Rogers cannot now categorize as misconduct work that its own editorial team vetted and authorized for broadcast.”

    FYI for anyone in his district: Jeffries has a Democratic primary challenger this June — Vance Bostic, a working-class guy who as far as I can tell hasn't had a lot of press, but if you live in Brooklyn and are a registered Democrat it's probably worth checking him out.

    I mostly use it to monitor individual feeds for chatty, talkradio-esque mp3 files that I then download and play from my personal devices. I've taken to calling them "podcasts" ;)

    Thanks! Knowing I have paid thousands out of pocket over the past 15-20 years for fillings, crowns, root canals, wisdom teeth, etc., to me, $100 genuinely feels like a miracle even though I know I'm lucky to be in the position where even that's affordable. Feeling grateful, for sure!

    I almost in teared up at the reception desk when they told me the (minor) damage. It's been literal decades since I had actual dental coverage and I'm finally getting things taken care of I've been putting off for years; in some cases things which have taken a genuine health toll. If the NDP is smart I hope it's planning to run ads with stories like mine near election time.

     

    [I]n the filing, Murdoch et al. argue that Trump is too lewd a person to suffer reputational harm from this story. To prove this, Murdoch relies on the infamous Access Hollywood video in which Trump boasted that due to his celebrity status he could sexually assault women.

    Yes, Murdoch, whose Fox News and New York Post provide the most prominent media platforms for slavish Trump worship, says Trump is such a lout that an association with an affectionate note to a sex criminal cannot tarnish his public image.
