Elon and Zuck are INSECURE Men
do see this. it's a real phenomenon.
the irony is that the 'manly party' is one of the main causes of men not feeling like men. while the 'snowflakes' are the ones more likely to push for better education (affordability), higher wages...things that'd repair these very issues.
you can see it
but the far right (GOP by default) is a ball trap. a death cult. a 3-hole outhouse w/no moon for ventilation (it stinks).

some of that might be helpful. 'tho Facebook, X and the sludge of right-wing morgues (where truth or thought goes to die)* show some have no pride, shame or gray-matter.
additionally, with all the unauthorized, spook behavior of Leon and ilk - maybe a liability.
would prefer some balance.
the fairness doctrine was put there to give people a different perspective. most people try to be fair. like any debate, no one person is going to win them all. and often efficiently culls the hacks EX: Rush Limbaugh tried a TV show but his audience ran him off the air {check out YouTube} ideas were challenged and died on the vine. Rush's vineyard went dry.
plus, believe people would love to hear something new. get the idea Fox audiences are s t a r v e d for some synaptic activity when the former Sec of Trans got a standing O because of it.
it felt good. and not so damn blah-blah-blah.
plus just getting the spectrum of people talking to each, trying to actually solve something, just might provide us the way back to some sense of sanity.
*yeah. no group has corner the market on bad brains - but the per capita is defiantly skewed toward the far right.
Content Moderation: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
another head scratcher/gut churner/soul sighing show. it's way over time to get some patrols on the 'information highway'. the web of lies/undue social influence/bias reporting/echo chambers and general nastiness needs some lines of (lack of a better word) decency that nary be crossed.
it's been done before.
'fire in a crowed theater' put some measurement on of the definition of 'free speech'. there is a line where 'free speech' fails to be freedom & becomes the dungeons of despair.
it's a tough subject to gauge, but do trust caring* people can draw a 'line-in-the-sand' so young people don't kill themselves over cyber bulling. or hyper-partisan yodels don't attack random INNOCENT people. or where honesty and a love of variable facts becomes a touchstone.
it needs to happen.
this would be the (past) time to get all types together and hammer out some guidelines. Maybe, use existing laws. change the 230(#?) shield limits. AI monitoring. or have civil suits to sue, sue, and sue until the posting of anything that comes into a person's head, meets a reality check.
not against the exchange of ideas, challenges of the norms, or any free speech of merit (or even some of dubious value) -but just getting us out of the muck of the 'muddy minimum-maintenance roadway of disinformation'.
peace.

... unyielding to their heart but bending under their pride.
too hard to be a red hat. spinning on a dime when their handlers call on them to unsay/unthink what they just said/thought, having to 'go to church' every time a new issue arises, having to find fault in things that used to enjoy - it's bound to make a string break.

Arizona House Expels Republican Member
just to give some perspective...on how today's GOP is...compared to how it was...
RE: Senate Robert Packwood's expulsion
"At one point, the Ethics Committee had to get full Senate approval to seek a court order to enforce a subpoena for a voluminous diary kept by Packwood during his time in the Senate...Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who is now the Senate majority leader, delivered a speech on the Senate floor in 1993, arguing for enforcement of the subpoena.
"Are we up to the job?," McConnell asked rhetorically, though it was an open question at the time. "Can we through the instrument of the Ethics Committee impartially and thoroughly investigate incidences of misconduct by our colleagues and will we give the committee the authority it needs to get the job done right?"
https://www.npr.org/2017/11/27/566096392/when-bob-packwood-was-nearly-expelled-from-the-senate-for-sexual-misconduct
but it seems worse today.
after seeing the evidence against NJ Sen. Bob Menendez, it seems that the U S Senate, in general, on being held to the highest standards - those standards aren't being held. or even attempted anymore.
Any wonder the Capitol, Congress, or SCOTUS is viewed contemptuously - not just for the obvious slandering politics - but for the glaring ethics violations?
Would have added the Presidency, but that's gone UP in recent years. 91 counts versus nil (which could be part of his campaign).
anyway...found M.C.'s speech smirk-inducing.
Is Donald Trump a Fascist? | Robert Reich
naw pa.
after the fine speech, one might hate whatshisname - but the speech isn't hate speech.
hate speech is based on hate, elicits hate, and promotes hate. it's venom thru out.
this isn't it. it's factual and actual, and only elicits disdain after the truth is laid bare. being unable to bear it, doesn't make it what you want it to be.
here's a link* to how truthful, honest, and insightful this cat is...

* as testimony, pardon the source but it still holds up
pure anti trump propaganda.
Hate speech at its finest.
Pure bullshit.
Stephen Calls Bruce Willis A Liar... MISTAKE
RE: things that don't age well
if'n could find it (was on YouTube), David Letterman interviewed Colin Powell, & Colin told a story about Ronald Reagan [after the announcement of R.R. diagnosis]. David interpreted the story as a cruel remembrance; evidence of Reagan's advancing Alzheimer's - but Colin meant it as a tribute to Ron's ability to put things into perspective. involved Reagan ignoring Powell's briefing to feed the W.H. lawn squirrels. the story was met w/a v e r y silent audience. & it made me question Colin's ability to see the trees in the forest.
note: Even before the announcement, 2nd year of 2nd term, Reagan's infirmity was evident.
Old videos like this getting frontpaged ALWAYS comes with dread. Followed by frantically googling the latest health news of the celebrity and then knowing if he/she's OK or not, then coming back and react accordingly.
We've known Willis battling with debilitating dementia in 2022. Alarm bells goes off mentally just seeing the video thumbnail.

am aware of the adage 'can't make it drink' & y'all being one dehydrated horse
but, does anything ever quiver - shake - hum in your cognizance? as if something is trying to get attention?
most folks like to look at themselves in a mirror before they go out in public. check for stains - zippers - or anything that might give others the impression they're careless or slovenly.
y'all are acting like a vampire looking in a mirror.

Birds Aren’t Real On Fox News
Am neutral on this issue of robotic crows & such -but someone mentioned starlings.
Starlings are not natural.
1) The iridescent color is an illusion
2) They can and have spoken in English & other tongues
3) A pair raised a brood in a tree next to the house & rarely made noise
None of this is normal bird behavior.
1) am told their plumage (notably the ' iridescence') has no true pigment but the structure of their feathers. Could be that it's a cloaking device since we don't always see them around.
2) if they can speak in captivity, they must while in the flock, if only to keep their English (et al) sharp. it's proof that they hear and understand us. handy for data gathering.
3) Since the pair near us have raised littles & they only 'buzz' when ma or pa show up with Grub Hub - it suggests they are covert creatures. a trait common in spies. [also, mysteriously two of the house cats have gone missing just before they moved in.]
not saying ALL birds are bots - but if there is a place to start an investigation - Starlings are the best bet.
How do we know that they weren't behind this obvious attempt at propaganda. as if falling in love is akin to being in a murmuration...
Biden Smiden - investigate Starlings.
