  6. @cartertemm I at least understand the motive for ads... (not that I'd ever tolerate them if they *did* manage to sneak past my ad blockers). But I don't understand the motive or idea for all the auto-playing muted videos.

    Go to Huffington Post (as just one easy example site) and click on any article you'd like. There's the text you wanna read, right under a muted video at the top that'll play (and move on through a playlist or random shuffle of more videos) while you're reading.

    You'll probably have scrolled down to bring the first line of text to the top of the screen of course so you won't *see* them playing, but there will be videos playing at the top of every article you read on #HuffPost.

    I just don't get it. At all. That's just dumb.

    It costs them money, it drives up hosting costs. It requires a ton of bandwidth that they're wasting.

    There's gotta be something going on here that I just don't get -- some motive that makes this make sense, 'cause it's *most* news pages that are doing this now.

    Why are they wasting so much bandwidth (theirs and mine)?

  16. Why The MAGA-verse Let Trump Trash Rob Reiner – HuffPost Life

    Psychologists React To THAT Post From Trump About Rob Reiner’s Death

    “It’s really significant when someone like Donald Trump does this,” one psychologist explained. “It sends a signal that it’s acceptable to do this.”

    By Katherine Speller, Dec 19, 2025, 07:00 AM EST, |Updated Dec 19, 2025

    In the aftermath of the deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner, the internet flooded with heartfelt messages of shared grief and support for the family.

    Mostly.

    Over on Truth Social, the posting medium of choice for President Donald Trump, the tone was different.

    “A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS,” the president wrote on Truth Social on Monday night.

    Trump and Reiners image…

    “He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump,” Trump continued, “with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”

    Insulting the victims of a domestic violence-related crime and somehow making the tragedy about his own victimhood didn’t resonate for many.

    Even some proud Trump voters stepped up on the Truth Social platform to critique the president’s “tacky” response to a family tragedy, calling it “heartless and uncalled for” and “unnecessary” to attack Reiner in that moment. Yet, as of this writing, his post still had 9.31k reposts and 38.9k likes. Although there have been some prominent Republican detractors, they were mostly individuals who were already on the outs with the president or had previously spoken against him.

    Trump’s offensive message came after extensive discourse, fueled by the right in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, arguing that “insensitive critiques” of the dead (like sharing words they said aloud to a camera) were in poor taste, grounds for people to lose their jobs, and even akin to promoting political violence.

    To gain a better understanding of how this seemingly hypocritical dynamic came to be, HuffPost spoke with psychologists about what causes individuals to condemn something vehemently one day, only to find themselves seemingly indifferent just a few months later.

    Why Would Anyone Post Like That?

    “It is no real surprise that Trump made it all about himself,” John Jost, co-director of the Center for Social and Political Behavior at New York University, told HuffPost. “That is what destructive narcissists do, people who exhibit what psychologists refer to as malevolent personality traits.”

    “Trump also makes Freud relevant again,” Jost added. “Projection is an everyday occurrence. In this case, someone is deranged, but it’s not Rob Reiner.”

    Daniel R. Stalder, a social psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, told HuffPost that most people attempt to find and understand the “why” when processing a tragedy like this — even if information is limited in the immediate aftermath. And though there’s undoubtedly a political component to the messaging, Stalder said parts of Trump’s post do also seem to align with the psychology of victim blaming.

    “In general, unfortunately, it’s relatively common to respond to tragedy by searching for and finding some reason to blame the victim(s) of the tragedy,” Stalder said. “There are psychological benefits to victim blaming — not that those benefits can excuse it.”

    Among those benefits are satisfying “one’s just-world beliefs and one’s need for control “because if we can identify something negative about the victim’s character that caused the outcome, then we might feel safer that the outcome won’t happen to us.”

    Psychotherapist Gina Simmons Schneider said that the nature of online communication may also play a part in how easily we can dehumanize one another, as well as the normalization of this kind of posting.

    “We also know that the more distant we feel from others, the easier it is to inflict harm. That’s why we see so much cruelty online,” Simmons Schneider said. “You might behave politely toward the person with opposing beliefs who happens to be sitting next to you on an airplane. Online, it’s easy to spew hate without seeing the direct social consequences of that abusive behavior.”

    However, in the long run, reinforcing the hypocrisy can lead to a cognitive dissonance that can manifest via feelings of anxiety: “To resolve that internal conflict, we must either change our values or change our behavior to align with them,” Simmons Schneider said.

  17. I sent the following to CA Senators Schiff and Padilla. Please consider doing so.

    Subject: Trump’s Illegal Boat Strikes

    Topic: Defense/Military

    Content:
    I’m pleased to see that you’ve signed the Senate Judiciary Committee letter to Grassley pressing for a hearing on the legality of Trump's boat strikes.

    The US Navy must be put on notice that they are committing war crimes and that there is no illegal justification for these actions and murders.

    Per your letter, "These strikes are extrajudicial killings and shocking violations of fundamental principles of due process and the right to life under U.S. and international law …. There is not, nor can there be, any justification for state-sanctioned extrajudicial killings [and S]ummary executions”.

    Trump, Hegseth, and the Navy commanders in charge must be held accountable.

  18. Trump, "Things can happen”.

    Our national shame never seems to end. I’ve been ashamed of this, my, country since that awful November day, over a year ago. I thought that maybe things had changed when Obama was elected twice. And then again, maybe, when Biden was elected. Sadly, no.
