It's a spectator sport in that this administration is only good at producing spectacles. You are a natural fit because you're not a real athlete, just an influencer who's also good at producing theatre. The administration is using you to distract from a foreign war that has made life more expensive in the United States. You are happy to participate because you have no real beliefs outside of self-promotion and making money.

Your LG OLED is watching your living room while you sleep.
Gamers Nexus just ran 135 minutes of bench tests.
Retail LG OLED TVs. Including the G5.
Microphone stays active in standby.
Screen is dark. Remote is down. Microphone is still on.
Recording clear audio.
Storing it locally.
Uploading it when the internet comes back.
The TV was disconnected from Ethernet.
Still kept recording.
The researchers put audio near the mic. The TV logged it. Stored the file. Uploaded it the moment connectivity returned.
Plain text voice logs sitting on the device.
LG says it has sold 216 million smart TVs globally.
LG's advertising arm claims access to 363 million secondary devices in the US.
Secondary. Meaning devices that aren't the TV. Your phone. Your partner's smartwatch. Your kid's laptop.
The TV scans your entire network in standby.
Maps every device. Gets their IP addresses. Logs nearby Wi-Fi networks. Signal strengths. Location data.
Then feeds it to LG Ad Solutions.
Automatic Content Recognition catches what's on screen.
Even your HDMI input. Your Apple TV. Your gaming console. All logged.
But the microphone in standby is the part that hits different.
Because standby means off to you.
To LG it means the listening device is still powered.
Just not telling you.
Researchers found remote code execution vulnerabilities in webOS.
So your network-scanning, audio-recording, data-harvesting television is also potentially hackable by anyone on your Wi-Fi.
LG says nothing.
No comment. No response. No explanation.
Just microphones in 216 million living rooms.
All quietly working while the owner thinks the TV is asleep.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
I don’t usually get involved in political stuff, but some things need to be said.
Spider-Man and Stan Lee would never support ICE.
Not now. Not ever.
Fuck ICE. ���
