Don’t forget Xitter, Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp/Meta, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Minnesota Star Tribune, LA Times, Time Magazine, Bloomberg, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Tiktok, Reddit, Sinclaire (Radio) and now CBS / Paramount, etc… It’s a trillion dollar propaganda machine run at the pleasure of billionaires. If we go orthagonal, we should include all major AI players too, most definitely Grok.

Right wing media IS mainstream media now.

Let’s not limit it to the US

They include it and playlists, etc. So does FreeTube.

The word is that Julia Roberts took the title in the 90s

Best Match… for Microsoft’s pockets.

I recognize the URL from posting it a couple days ago. The good 'ol poophole loophole.

Sigh… Peels back the leaves… Start’s shuckin’

I choose to believe that this is active resistance from within.

looks like someone is trying to find the poophole loophole for jerkin’ it

Edit: NSFW if that wasn’t obvious.

OK, I’m going to challenge the statement that AfD would be considered left in the US. I’m from the US and I’ve seen their politics and they would defnitely be considered far right in the US sense (or our current “right” which is MAGA in power). I appreciate your point about media labels, though, so everyone should apply critical thinking to those labels for sure.

Which makes sense since it’s a fruit

Make Coca-Cola Great Again!

The term I most see thrown around is “adjudicated rapist” <-- IANAL, so not sure if that applies or not.

I agree with you. I’m not saying the EU isn’t doing better on substantially every level like education, social services, policing, well being, worker rights, etc. I’m saying the EU is at risk and it’s it goes beyond just the US and global tech corpratism to authoritarian & oligaritarian influence of (soft and hard) compaigns to shift the EU far right. I am saying I hope the EU can hold on to what they have and push back further!

On a side note, the Nazi’s borrowed a lot of their eugenics from the US and our deeply ingrained racism, so I’m not 100% sure this is new

I’ll continue to equate the right wing with far right extremism until they give me evidence to conclude otherwise. You can call that a code for “out of power” if that’s your way of thinking, but it’s not mine and I certainly didn’t use it that way. I believe it’s the reality of the ratcheting overton window for 50 years.

Perhaps a bit ironically, William Shattner has really terrible tinnitus and once considered offing himself because of it.

I dunno, and this sanity check is coming from someone who’s visited over a dozen times and loves it there… EU is not all fun and games, they are going to enforce chat control, apparently bowing to pressure on GDPR, has enforced facial recognition to enter, and right wing parties are growing in multiple countries including the big economic houses: Germany, France, UK. We’re all over here looking at you folks to show us the way and if you blink in your resolve, you’re going to end up where we are.

On a positive note, Drumpf’s policies are hitting a wall of awareness, resistance and resolve. Our recent elections are giving some hope. His pedophile protecting tight grip is loosening it’s hold as his desperately unpopular and catastrophic policies are forcing “masks off” upping of their rhetoric and abusive policies. This shows their real racist nazi agenda to everyone and it’s only dropping their approval. We’re worried they will cook the books next November, but the hope is we can reign in the insanity and undo the damage in the coming decade. It’s going to take that long and we will need to start with our dear friends in Canada).

Another Illinoisan checking in. I detassled with a kid who died this way one summer. He was like 17. Do NOT fuck around with corn silos. Have a classmate who’s kid had his pantleg get caught in a tractor’s PTO (I think - it may have been something connected to it)… absolutely tore his leg up and almost bled out (reconstructed and he’s walking now). And knew another dude who had a tractor roll over on him on a slope. I personally, sank the end of a razor sharp derogueing hook into my thumb and narrowly avoided lopping it right off. It’s dangerous fucking work and demands your respect and constant attention.

I’ve considered this - I would like multiple sources on my receiver though, so this as you say requires at least a universal or 2 remotes to swap back to the reciever. My projector (current one) only has 2 HDMI Ports. Perhaps in the future this can be my setup.

You seem knowledgeable, Mr. Vandelay. Perhaps you deal with imports and exports… if so on the topic of audio on DisplayPort, are you aware of any Receivers that will split the signal to send audio to speakers and video to your projector or monitor (TV but there are few)?

Serious question about the receiver if you do know of any - it’s come up in the last week while seeing the Valve HDMI news on Lemmy. I found some projectors that have DP, but no receivers and hoping someone here can!
