  1. @peterbutler Fox ratings are still high even after multi-million$ settlement for lying. And yes, their "bias blunders" have influenced millions. Sadly, just par for the course. Just my $.02

  2. @peterbutler @danjac @mcnado

    It hadn’t occurred to me that public #SystemsThinking triggers #reactionaries, but now it makes complete sense.

    #DonellaMeadows was on to something and they know it.

  3. @tcook @peterbutler and finally, repealing the 2nd? we might as well scrap the whole constitution and start from scratch, if that is your idea of a solution.

    the 2nd is integral to the entire philosophy behind our current constitution.

    without it, everything else will need to be adjusted to embrace UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the new “Declaration of Independence” for a new constitution

    The issue is pandering to the lowest common denominator. The UX is designed for #doomscrolling entertainment and paid intercept conversion.

    #Birdverse monetized it. Cynicism weaponized it. Then ChatGPT came along and camouflaged originality.

    Discourse on centralized platforms? Ended in '22. Creators will abandon / be free of the economic feudalism that is commercial social media.

    #mastodon doesn't pander to the LCD. (...yet.)

  11. I know it’s not the same thing, but @Fedicate’s idea of positive “endorsements” has stirred memories of Friendster testimonials

    I did not “get” Friendster, but I used the hell of out it

    Ha ha, social network, what a joke

    But looking back, those Friendster testimonials I got were some of the most sincere, genuine, loving tributes I’ve ever received

    Where does that happen now?

    Here’s to projects promoting positivity 🥂

  12. "The reality was that none of the people allegedly working for the Ashland Daily Tidings existed, or at least were who they claimed to be.

    "The bylines listed on Daily Tidings articles were put there by scammers using artificial intelligence, and in some cases stolen identities, to dupe local readers.”

  13. "Why isn’t a Richard Spencer speech a threat when a pro-Palestine chant is?”

    The hypocrisy of the “free speech absolutists” is that they always want to give Nazis a free platform to spread their hatred, but they also want people advocating for peace and justice to STFU or get arrested

  18. OK, film Mastodon. I’ve got a couple of flights coming up

    What movies should I watch? This is important. It’s two 5-6 hour flights. That’s 4 potential movies

    I like horror, sci fi, indie drama, coming-of-age, old-age

    I ♥️ Dead Man, Hollywood Shuffle, Flirting With Disaster, Living in Oblivion

    I watched 2 “auteur” movies from Netflix last flight — The Killer and May/December — and was sorely disappointed :(

    (Also where can I find Shag the movie?)

    * AI protections
    * Remote work assurances
    * Just cause
    * Successorship
