@SomniumSpace @ASychov Base Reality!!! 💪😜

Let's talk about our Base Reality!

@blockmuse Very...ehh, RED! 😁🔴🔥

@blockmuse Hmm…Do I know you? 🤔❤️😎🌹

@OldArmyBroad @BGatesIsaPyscho Two income households used to be optional to buy a house until now where it is nearly economically impossible!

@BGatesIsaPyscho It’s optional; NOT mandatory. You kinda forgot to include that part in your hyped-up post 🙄

And so it begins.

@aakashgupta @RealCandaceO The truth is @RealCandaceO Stats don't care about Ben's feelings.

The Daily Wire is the case study of why personality-driven media companies can't compound. Peak in late 2023: Shapiro's YouTube alone pulled 170M monthly views. Daily Wire+ subscriptions, a Nashville studio operation, Bentkey kids streaming, an e-commerce arm with razors and chocolates and cigars. The company was running a billion-dollar conservative Disney bet. Then they made the studio bet bigger. Pendragon Cycle, an Arthurian fantasy series of the kind that has bankrupted larger production houses. Bentkey trying to compete with Disney for kids' attention. Daily Wire+ chasing Netflix. Running a newsroom, a film studio, a children's streaming platform, and a private-label consumer goods business simultaneously requires either limitless capital or extraordinary discipline. Some of it worked. Matt Walsh's "Am I Racist?" was the top-grossing documentary of 2024. Most of it didn't. In March 2024, they parted ways with Candace Owens. She walked into the open market and built a show that competes with theirs. Today she has 5.5M YouTube subscribers and added 10.9M followers across platforms since January 2025, generating roughly 805M views in that window. Daily Wire converted its biggest distribution asset into its largest competitor. Early 2025, co-founder Jeremy Boreing stepped down as co-CEO and launched a solo podcast outside the company he co-founded. Bentkey was shuttered the same year. Entire team cut. Then the audience math hit Shapiro himself. 170M monthly YouTube views in late 2023 to roughly 22M in early 2026. An 85% collapse in 18 months. Another 60K subscribers gone in the last 90 days alone. Layoffhedge.com estimates cumulative workforce reduction above 60% over the past year. Tucker Carlson left Fox in 2023, kept his audience, runs his shop with a fraction of the headcount. Megyn Kelly's network drew 138M YouTube views in February alone. The personalities figured out they don't need the platform. The platform discovered the opposite. Daily Wire built a billion-dollar valuation on names that can walk, take the audience with them, and run a competing show from a laptop the next morning. 170M views to 22M. The company kept the overhead. The audience left with the people.

@blockmuse Uh oh I better stop thinking 🤔

I told ya folks! Thinking is a dangerous act. 👏👏👏

“At one pole, art is purely and simply coopted by capitalism as a means of conditioning the population. At the other pole, capitalism grants art a perpetual privileged concession: that of pure creative activity—an isolated creativity which serves as an alibi for the alienation of all other activities.” - Situationist International

@blockmuse When i saw the news I laughed, I've first experience of dressing accordingly, using my construction job cover for street art. At some point there would be a government body asking for paperwork. He'd have been better making an event of it than trying to pass it off as defiance.

@Jokerbernrin For sure! Freedom in expression is what allows us to find voice. Yes, there are rules, but not the ones that demand us to break, but the ones we build upon, acknowledging those that went before us! 🙏✌️🌹

@blockmuse That kind of musical crossover hits deep

I just had an absolute moment! As an Alice In Chains fan who played this song to death in my youth, now a jazz fan and an admirer of the dynamic of the musicians musical dance, find Disco-Daddy Funk Band cover the track. Epic quote: “Improv is stuff you’ve practiced a thousand times” youtu.be/gme17T5WQNM?is…

@itsltlthings @elonmusk Love that. There is much need.

@blockmuse @elonmusk How about a Skool Community?

Art always finds a way, It might not be with @elonmusk as I was hoping, but we solider on regardless. 🙏✌️🌹

@griptmedia Monopolies are the big issue right now! We need to reverse the merger between hell and Brussels! 🙏✌️🌹

PETER CADDLE: REVEALED - Brussels has drawn up plans that would effectively see the operations of US-owned social media platforms - including Elon Musk’s X - forcefully merged with more EU-favoured counterparts, such as BlueSky and Mastodon. gript.ie/revealed-eu-pl…

@James7Holland Monopolies are the big issue right now! We need to reverse the merger between hell and Brussels! 🙏✌️🌹

EU has a serious problem. It has lost control of the narrative in Europe. It gave billions to media, academia, charities and NGOs for decades so that they would buttress Brussels’ agenda. It worked for years. Now, that’s over. Technology moved faster than they ever could. People switched off their TVs, cancelled their newspaper subscriptions, and started to watch, share and discuss whatever they wanted. This democratisation of information quickly relegated the curated content of the blob to insignificance, and with that, people started to develop the knowledge and confidence to question things they’d never considered before. During this tech revolution, X became the main public square. It also then inevitably became the focus of the blob’s counter offensive. Governments sought to shut down free speech. Presidents and Prime Minsters had social media execs on speed dial and rooms of officials requesting and securing the censorship of people and posts they disliked. Then Elon Musk came in, and freed the public square from the authoritarians in Washington, Brussels, Paris, Berlin and London. The blob didn’t much like that, and so sought to create alternative town squares. You all remember the pleas to close your X account and head on over to where the “good” people were having better conversations. Mastodon and BlueSky tried to repackage the magic of social media in govt approved versions, but they never stood a chance. Today, X is about to report its most monthly downloads in its history. People rarely give away their freedoms easily after they’ve won them. The blob continues to lose, but rather than engage with the new discussions, they keep reaching for those tempting authoritarian leavers that all insecure leaders struggle to resist. They want kids disconnected first. That’s easiest, as you can claim to be protecting them. But just like their parents, this new generation’s unparalleled access to information means they are drawing conclusions that no longer match-up to the ones the blob prefers. Banning them from social media won’t stop that. They’re far too smart to be held back by bureaucrats. Another leaver that’s currently tempting Eurocrats in Brussels is to forcibly merge X with BlueSky. @griptmedia reports: “Brussels has drawn up plans that would effectively see the operations of US-owned social media platforms — including Elon Musk’s X — forcefully merged with those of their more EU-favoured counterparts, such as BlueSky and Mastodon. The 275-page document published on April 29 discusses the feasibility of forcing both vertical and horizontal interoperability onto all major social media applications, naming X, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube as major targets. According to the study, these platforms could be forced to platform content from their more moderation-focused rivals, as well as be legally obligated to make their recommender algorithms, news feeds, and user accounts interoperable with websites more favoured by Brussels, such as BlueSky. Platforms could also be forced to allow third-party “moderation” systems to access their digital infrastructure, which would enable enhanced censoring of certain content for some users. It also claims that while forcing the horizontal merging of social media systems within the EU could lead to some difficulties when it came to moderating content, these problems could be alleviated by making platforms use the same “existing technology” to limit what is allowed on their platforms.” I have little doubt these efforts will also fail, but at least we now know what they are up to.

@smokingtukker @europa Ford already have it and have a ton of BS documented

@blockmuse @europa you do know the US is getting the exact same laws right?

🇪🇺 From July 2026, a new EU regulation will require all new cars to include driver-surveillance systems (ADDW), using interior cameras to track eye movement, head position and attention levels to detect “distraction or drowsiness.” The systems are designed for in-car safety alerts, with data processed in real time within the vehicle.
