And much of it are regulators that regulate HIS businesses. Of course he wants to break them.

Amazing. Is that book Ghost Boy? I’ve always wanted to read it.

This fucking sucks.

People love to shit on TikTok, but honestly, I really enjoy it. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay. Short-form content can be a lot—for me too. It took me a while to hone my algorithm and wade through stuff I didn’t like. But TikTok stands out compared to Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. The content feels more authentic and engaging. When I scroll through TikTok, I often feel like I’m learning something new or having my perspective challenged.

TikTok’s algorithm doesn’t completely suppress leftist views. It’s one of the few platforms where conversations about issues like the genocide in Palestine actually gain traction. Of course, it’s a corporate platform, and it’s far from perfect. It has its alt-right pipelines and played a role in Trump winning this election because it was popular, and his team utilized it. But let’s not pretend that’s unique to TikTok—all social media platforms are allowing and often skewing towards the alt-right.

And then there’s the whole “TikTok is Chinese spyware” narrative, which just feels like a distraction. If we’re worried about surveillance, let’s not ignore how U.S.-based platforms are also spying on us—for corporations and the government alike. Singling out TikTok for being Chinese misses the bigger picture entirely. This ban is happening because Meta and others don’t want competition.

You only think that because it makes a good story. The reality is more complicated. Psychological factors and gun availability lead to some people killing people. Not bullying. Columbine is a famous example where the shooters were arguably bullies themselves.

I think maybe you got downvoted because this comment is just the title again, but with way too many emojis, but it’s a solid message. Thanks for posting.!

This reminds me of a video I recently watched about how to resist the Trump presidency. Since, he doesn’t seem to be swayed by acts of protest like this.

Yo, what!? Someone literally just joked on here the other day that the onion should do this. Amazing stuff.

Everytown for Gun Safety, a nonprofit dedicated to ending gun violence that was founded in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting, will advertise on a relaunched version of the site under The Onion.

The publication plans to reintroduce Infowars in January as a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” like Mr. Jones who traffic in misinformation and health supplements, Ben Collins, the chief executive of The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, said in an interview.

The Onion declined to disclose the price it had paid for Infowars and its assets, including its production studio and diet supplement business, though it said in a tongue-in-cheek story that the site cost “less than a trillion dollars.” (The article added that all of the diet supplements would be melted down “into a single candy bar-sized omnivitamin.”)

Blinken handled Gaza terribly… Everyday a fresh hell. Hard to believe it could be worse, but of course it will be worse.

1. “Listen, I plan on having a Republican in my Cabinet,” Harris elaborated. “You ask me what’s the difference between Joe Biden and me, well that will be one of the differences.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/harris-sparks-outrage-admitting-biggest-185725601.html

2. Both Trump and Harris say they’ll build more border wall. In this county, the parts have been waiting, and rusting, since 2021. https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/trump-harris-border-wall-arizona-rusting-2021-rcna173094

3. Kamala thanks Liz and Dick Cheney, “This endorsement matters a great deal.” https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7S-Sk2TbdjE

4. “Harris said she was “honored” to have the backing of such “respected” people, and touted the Cheneys’ support at last week’s presidential debate.” https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/kamala-harris-dick-cheney-endorsement/

5. Harris supported the Green New Deal. Now, she’s promoting domestic oil drilling https://apnews.com/article/harris-fracking-energy-climate-trump-election-debate-1b86dfb4297facd0b89c487724a9e5b0

I mean, her campaign was pretty awful in a lot of ways. It started out strong but since the DNC it was misstep after misstep. I dunno about you, but I love hearing the president say they’ll only be different than Biden, because they’ll have more Republicans in their cabinet. I love hearing they’re going to build the wall. I love hearing them talk all the time about the fact that Cheney endorsed them. I love hearing how profracking they are. And I love their silence on the genocide in Gaza. Certainly, sexism and racism plays a role, but let’s not kid ourselves here.

20 years? Jamie pull that up.

Fitness goals.

I’m a big hugger. I wish that there was more affection between men, I often worry I’m making other men uncomfortable and then in turn I get uncomfortable about it. The whole thing makes me far more stressed than I wish it did honestly.

This was my favorite video of Cleo’s, yet.

Sometimes, the fact that people are still out here eating meat is crazy to me.

That’s actually pretty close to what I expected Gods of Egypt to be. Ryan does a great job encapsulating the ridiculousness of these films along with their producers and writers.

This is far and away the best thing I’ve seen in Lemmy.
