the madness, the frenzy, the boiling blood and the smoking brow
Oh, sweetie! Long story. But HBO has not always been exclusively on cable. It was also on early satellite providers. And satellite signals did strange things when they reflect off buildings. And I had a really smart roommate.

1) Well, we did, but it’s a long story. 2) OK. BTW, Obviously, you feel strongly that Fox has a first-amendment right to free speech, that they should not be censored. I agree. How does you feel about the ongoing censorship of law firms, universities, and museums? Do you
Ok
This.
Ho-lee schmitt!

In defense of Bluesky Sometimes the choir needs to hear it
Cable providers did.
Oh, there’s the straw man. Had to come up sooner or later. I never stated that propaganda was not protected speech. And there wasn’t a “fairness doctrine per se. But what was this? Read deeply. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-...
Nah. Just hate what this country has become—people arguing technical issues as this shithole country, ESPECIALLY Fox News, support a totalitarian pedophile who is trying to destroy whatever was actually good about this god-forsaken place. But, hey, at least you were TECHNICALLY right on that one.
Actually, I DID get hbo with rabbit ears. More to the point, your false analogy is showing.
…ADDED to their profits 2) the effects of their products on the society as a whole?
Why not? Who made THAT decision? And how does that decision contribute to the public good? Do you think that any network, social media platform, or ANY corporation or organization should be able to make profits WITHOUT any responsibility for 1) how the government’s policies/services have…
Watch local news lately?
…with an entire “news” network simply spouting totalitarian propaganda for a corrupt pedophile because it is their surest path to profits. This all could have been prevented. But money rules all.
…is considered just a hindrance to MORE PROFITS. And, unfortunately, politicians, who were bought and sold by lobbyists for those networks, saw to it that addressing the public interest would be no more. Now, of course, conservatives have entirely given up on the concept. And here we are…
…and that, as such, networks ARE a large factor. The government, on behalf OF THE PEOPLE, required that, in exchange for the right to make those (considerable) profits, the networks provide a minimal service to their customers in that realm. Of course, today, the idea of serving the public interest…
As for the claim that networks were not allowed to make or prevented from making a profit (not sure what you mean), you REALLY brought out the straw man, didn’t you? OF FUCKING COURSE, it didn’t. The IDEA behind the doctrine was that a well-informed population was essential to a healthy country….
OK…It applied TO NETWORKS, WHICH WERE THE BROADCASTERS OF NEWS PROGRAMS. So, what exactly IS the difference in your mind? Is FOX or MSNBC **NOT** a network? How does that work?
The resentment referred to, of course, goes allllll the way back to when southern planters had to give up owning people. They’ve kept it alive since. I know. I grew up “way down yonder.” It was palpable—at least it was when I was growing up (1970s-80s).
It really isn’t a dumb idea. Totalitarianism was not ended, and the seeds of that war—racism, ultra-nationalism, greed, resentment—festered here (where the soil is fertile) until the reemergence of a populace and unscrupulous leader to bring it to fruition here. Not crazy.
This happened when network news became a profit-earning enterprise instead of the public service that is necessary for survival of democracy. See: repeal of fairness doctrine (thanks, Saint Reagan).
It’s OK. AI will figure out how to make MORE water, all while it figures out how to replace the working class…. Just trust the same tech bros who brought us soul-crushing, civilization-destroying social media.
They “hid” it for years, because FDR was a good man and a superb president; he did what the entire country needed. trump is a monster whom no one actually likes and who is trying actively to hurt people. The people around him don’t believe in him—they don’t believe in anything. He’s expendable.
It’s a shame that the US could end WWII but not its own civil war.
No, it’s the worst part. When one cannot trust one’s neighbor to uphold minimum standards of civil society, it’s over.
I cannot tell you how many times I said to myself, “I’m not going to drink today. Maybe tomorrow, but not today.” It’s been 16+ years. Keep at it.
Never had one.
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
Word of mouth and vibes. Doesn’t always work.
Still???
The first paragraph looks good.
Dog realises when the point has been won and celebrates. #bluesky #dog #dogaday
I’ll take “bullies bent on revenge“ for $200, Alex.
It would also solve some of my daily indignation….
Just more evidence that they want us dead.
I’ve seen this movie before. Count on the dems to lose anyway.
Oh, god. Can a person overdose on it?
They see something that they don’t understand and immediately go to their easy answer. God or satan. Gotta be one or the other.
Once you have money in this country, no matter how you got it—business, inheritance, the lottery—you are INSTANTLY considered a “genius.” You are given certain privileges, among which is the right to NEVER have to hold a job again. Money equals character in the USA.
Typical maga. Fuck things up and walk away. Soon enough, she’ll be blaming democrats.
Works for me.
Commies! Trying to get healthy food to people! Where will it end?
Well, that’s EXACTLY why they praise him. They want health policy made by an addict with a brain worm who UNDERSTANDS THEM, not some egghead in a lab who understands fantasies like germ theory human immunology. To them, actually KNOWING something is a sign that you are evil and worship satan.
The couch-fucker DID kill the last pope.
Nope. The USA will never be unfucked. Look for a new and better country to emerge in a generation or two.
Add: the maga/nazi party.
Well, there’s a whole generation of young Nazis waiting to serve herr fuhrer in the Bundestag. She’s doing them a service by stepping aside to give them a chance to fuck the country up even worse.
His death solves nothing.
See, when they spout lies like this, what they are REALLY saying is something like, “Only people who support this truly matter. The opinions of anyone else [IF he determines that they are actually human enough to have an opinion—meaning MAGA] are irrelevant and do not have any bearing.”
Unvaccinated citizens in the 50s
Please. This is the USA. We don’t remember shit. Most people have already forgotten that it was particularly bad here BECAUSE of trump and his complete lack of leadership. The vaccine happened despite him; he had nothing to do with it. Had he his way, we’d all have been munching horse medicine.
He’s saying, “Hold my beer.”
CAPITALISM Is the root. It’s not the money. It’s a system that prioritizes profits over human beings. Political bribery is a symptom, not the disease. Corporations bribe politicians to increase profits; brainwashed politicians accept this devil’s bargain for their profit AND to uphold the system.
It’s because they’re too stupid to realize that they’re too stupid. Reminds me of a certain political party. M something something something.
Uhhh…SCOTUS said that little Donnie gets to play as long as he wants. There will be no need for “ballots.”
He’s not going to “run.” He’s just not leaving.
Open racism is a virtue on the right.
This, by now, should be clear. The only way he’s leaving the WH is swollen) feet-first.
Ahhhh…What are the chances?
From the very beginning, I’ve argued that their playbook is almost exactly that of the Nazis. The propaganda machine. The blood libel. The blood-and-soil racism. He’s been doing it his entire life. Then, he found his perfect mate—the heritage foundation. People acted like I was being hyperbolic.
They don’t want public health. Only theirs.
They’re just plain mean. These are just the worst people imaginable at all levels and in all positions.
They deserve to know.
Side salad?
Missions to Epstein Island?
New rule: A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library after that parent has actually read ANY book. Or even LEARNED how to read.
A fact that has been obvious since the 1970s. And, yet, here we are. So, obviously, to Americans, lower taxes are more important than children’s lives.
I just wish he were A FUCKING HUMAN BEING.
It’s electrified demand. It’s taking people’s desire to be rich and converting it into 0s and 1s and feeding it back to them in the form of numbers on a screen. PRESTO! Now, you’re rich!
MAGA reps most certainly will do nothing. They are afraid of the regime.
SAY IT!!! THIS *IS*A DICTATORSHIP!!!
He likes it up there. It’s warm and dark there.
No. Just our children. But, hey, why worry about THAT?
It would not be that much different from the current ad hoc arrangement.
Puppy French Bulldog chases Rottweiler… 🥰
Capitalism corrupts everything it touches.
“A lot of people” means him and Steven “Goebbels” Miller.
Yep.
And SO good for their morale, I’m sure.
Have they solved the problem of how explosive hydrogen is vis-a-vis accidents, leaks, etc.?
Well, that many BJs can take a while to complete.
People…PEOPLE!!! Get a grip, please!
An ELDERLY, perhaps disabled, Mexican transsexual man who is seeking asylum….
Well, I think THAT argument should convince the Nobel committee.
Oh, you mean back when news organizations were more than just an annoying sidebar for rapacious corporations unconcerned with the health of our country and planet? Yeah.
Men are vessels for sperm. That’s about it, evolutionarily. This book was very interesting. www.thriftbooks.com/w/eve-how-th...
The way we got there was when Reagan dumped all of the mentally ill vets and others on the streets and normalized mass homelessness in this country.
They want us dead. Starting with the children.
They want us dead.
It’s simple. Capitalism.
Say, put the CRACK back into CRACK(er) Barrel. I’m tired of snorting it.
Ok
Morale-boosting duty, I’m sure.
Indeed.
Nuthin’. Glad you’re here.
