A Rare and Deadly Tick Virus With No Cure Has Taken Hold in New York https://gizmodo.com/a-rare-and-deadly-tick-virus-with-no-cure-has-taken-hold-in-new-york-2000793404

While not universal, a good litmus test for how corrupt an organization is is how cozy they are to Trump & his spawn. FIFA has got to be one of the most crooked organizations on this planet. Also, the World Cup, without Europe (where football originated), is not a credible tournament. Crash & Burn!

Aaron Parnas@aaronparnas.bsky.social · 6d ago

All 55 UEFA nations have unanimously agreed to boycott FIFA competitions if plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors move forward. European football is drawing a line in the sand: the World Cup belongs to the players and fans.

While this clip is too short for context, I echo this sentiment. When it came to investigating and prosecuting Trump for J6, he wasted 2 years sitting on his hands and only hired Jack Smith AFTER Trump announced he would seek a 2nd term. Nor did he do enough to help regular folk with inflation -

“Joe Biden failed us” -James Talarico

I could do with hearing less from Hunter Biden.

Corporate media is corrupt and absolutely "in on it." Their owners benefit from the tax regime, and their operators benefit from the high ratings that result from their sown division - even the so-called liberal outlets! Don't buy into the illusion of trust. Seek out your own sources and synthesize!

NBC's kristen welker was caught laughing it up with Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller who architected the family separation policy. Stephen Miller who pushed the Muslim travel ban. Stephen Miller who oversaw the killing of Americans by ICE agents. This is why independent media is crucial.

SPCX is a house of cards. Their promises of future growth come almost entirely from xAI, a garbage division that Musk bundled from another co. he raided. Their current revenue comes mostly from govt. contracts that will likely dry up when ISS is deorbited in 2030. Their new rockets keep blowing up-

While this might seem, to a layperson, to be a huge fine, in reality, Google makes this much revenue every single day. This is a slap in the wrist, a cost-of-doing business fine. In order to discourage future adverse practices from a company this large, the fine MUST be in the hundreds of billions.

And @netflix.com wonders why people aren't watching their original 'content' anymore. We can get AI slop for free on youtube, this is garbage, not art. A sad but inevitable decline. I wouldn't even use a shared password to watch, it is unworthy of my precious time. How long before PE buys them out?

Netflix reveals that ~300 of their TV shows and movies have used generative AI during the production process • This includes concept art, pre-viz, and battle sequences • They plan to use it more going forward • Gave credit to Ben Affleck's AI company InterPositive for impact on their projects

The New York Times downplayed and normalized the actions of criminal Donald Trump for years. The Times’ reward: Federal agents showing up on reporters’ doorsteps. Which proves once again that you can’t play nice with fascists. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

It's easy for anyone outside of Disney boardroom groupthink to see 1. The original Moana is only 10 years old, & this film tells the *exact same* story. 2. The Rock is a 'roided out quinquagenarian who is unbelievably vain & in denial of his limits as an actor. www.worldofreel.com/blog/2026/7/...

‘Moana’ Is Heading Toward a Box Office Bomb After $4M+ Thursday, $38M+ Opening Projection — World of Reel

That’s a disappointing outlook for a film reportedly carrying a whopping $250M budget, especially given Disney’s apparent confidence in the brand.

Anecdotally, I saw a lot of people on the bus today carrying their sealed ballots; this primary has a chance of beating 2018 for voter turnout. 🤞

Here come the youths. Turnout in Denver/CO-1 is surging. 121k ballots, 26.3% turnout by 1:55pm today. Tops final 2024 turnout. Approaching final 2022 turnout. 25k ballots needed to reach final 2018 turnout of 146k.

Persona non grata! This was the only proper move the party could make. The overwhelming nature of the vote makes the contempt for this nonce crystal clear.

The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

Amid his disastrous war of choice and self-created economic crisis, Donald Trump flew halfway around the world to flatter a foreign dictator—and came back with nothing to show for it. Nothing about that is "America first."

People are baffled because, as a Democrat, this action by Polis makes no sense. But this is about class, Polis is a multi-millionaire who associates with other members of his class. When he retires, he needs to be accepted at the country club. His entire class must be disgorged to restore democracy.

Absolutely indefensible move by Jared Polis. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/u...

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

When the press is owned by the largest corporations and/or billionaires, they can not possibly be free and independent.

Chris Dillow@chrisdillow.bsky.social · 3mo ago

It'd save our blood pressure if we recognised that most of the media are not neutral reporters but anti-leftist partisans: they are a player, not the referee. Expecting them to do honest reporting is like expecting an opposing football team to score own goals.

The funniest part about it is that this is clearly a lie. AI companies can, have, and will continue to raise prices or restrict computing power. They know the greed and self-interest of business owners, and this lie is made to appeal specifically to them.

An advert promoting an AI company at Bristol Airport has been pulled after backlash. The advert showed a female AI worker who will 'never ask for a raise'.
