@nagamyzuna Smart people and wrong and morons are right more often than the smart people want to admit

It’s so weird.

Under Section 315 of the Communications Act, TV channels cannot change political ads, even to fact check.

But the evil man in this movie is “evil”because he won’t do what TV stations, radio stations, and billboards also don’t do?

I’m so confused by this movie…

How did “a tech billionaire should decide what politicians are allowed to say to voters” somehow become the left wing position in this argument

Jeff merkley and Ron wyden sponsor bill giving 50k to current home owners looking to sell

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

JUST IN: First-time homebuyers could get as much as $50,000 for a down payment on a house, under a draft bill to be introduced by Senator Jeff Merkley and cosponsored by Senator Ron Wyden, per Axios

The great irony of this clip is that *everything* this villainous "Mark Zuckerberg" straw-man is saying is 100% correct.

>Market comes up with a shitty idea nobody wants.
>nobody buys it and it stops being produced.

>Government comes up with a shitty idea nobody wants.
>It continues so long as the bureaucracy wants it to, and is often forced on the unwilling.

The way chuds post about stuff like this is so embarrassing and obviously comes from a place of extreme insecurity and lack of contact with the outside world. It’s like in the 2010s when people used to write those posts that basically said streaming Beyonce is a revolutionary political act.

Some posts deserve a like even after the community note

soooo is anyone gonna talk about what the department of the interior posted today. like some intern is getting fired right

[Kat Rosenfield @katrosenfield]

Actually, what bothers me about this: the essay makes public what should have been a private apology for Hannah-Jones's failures as a mother, and in doing so not only elides the apology she should be making for her failures as a journalist but refuses to acknowledge them at all

Lmao, I wonder if the permanent security council members veto this one

[Raylan Givens @JewishWarrior13]

🚨 Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has laid out a concrete proposal for restructuring the UN Security Council, writing in Bloomberg that the veto privilege held by permanent members should be abolished.

His proposed model:

• Strengthen the powers of the UN General Assembly
• Eliminate permanent Security Council seats
• Have the General Assembly elect Security Council members for fixed, rotating terms
• Require countries seeking another term to win majority support again

Erdoğan’s proposal would amount to a fundamental shift in the UN’s power structure — replacing the post-World War II system of permanent great-power privilege with a model in which Security Council influence would depend on recurring support from the broader UN membership.

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

Great to welcome @jakepaul to the Treasury Department today.

Jake’s path from content creator to entrepreneur and professional boxer is a distinctly American story. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Damn, you’re ancestors sound sick! Shame you’re such a loser

[Ryan S. Walters @ryanswalters73]

My 16th great grandfather was King Henry VII, who funded the mission that claimed North America for England. My direct ancestors came to Jamestown and Massachusetts Bay. They fought in the crucial French and Indian War, and the War for American Independence. Two of my 6th great grandfathers fought as offices on the Patriot side at Kings Mountain! And on and on … blood, sweat, tears!

And no one with your name was there!!

So, no, you sit down and shut up child! Show some respect!!
