🚨 do you understand what happened to Stephen Colbert.. 24 hours after his final Late Show, Colbert hijacked a tiny public access channel in Monroe, Michigan with Jack White, Eminem, Jeff Daniels and Steve Buscemi. Now Paramount - the company that just cancelled his show - is mass-blocking every reupload worldwide via Content ID. And the deeper you dig, the worse it looks: - The finale pulled 6.74M viewers - a weeknight record over 11 years - Eminem cameoed as "Marshall, the fire marshal" to greenlight torching the set - The same day Trump posted an AI video of throwing Colbert into a dumpster, Colbert aired footage of himself burning a real one - Mayday Network and verified journalist Matthew Keys both got blocked globally - for sharing a community access show Paramount cancelled his show to silence him. Instead they handed him a Streisand-effect comeback 10x bigger than the show ever was.
Matthew Keys@MatthewKeysLive

Paramount is apparently trying to suppress copies of "Only in Monroe" from appearing on other social platforms by filing frivolous copyright notices, even though the show was produced by a public access TV channel and doesn't use their intellectual property...

This is not politics as usual. We’ve never had an openly authoritarian leader in office. Nor have we had a party totally subservient to their leader. We must resist as such during these not normal times.

The people telling you to povertymaxx and eat bread sandwiches so you can afford a used car are just plain wrong. Even as far back as the 1800's people were averaging 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day.

You’re born onto a planet you never asked to exist on… and society immediately hits you with: “Okay, now go earn the right to eat, sleep, rest, and have shelter.” Like… zoom out for a second. We’re floating on a rock in infinite space and we created a game where you have to spend most of your life working just to not starve or freeze to death. The whole concept is actually insane when you think about it.

“We will have a crash, I just can't tell you when, and I can't tell you how deep. But I can assure you, unfortunately, I wish I wasn't saying this, we will have a crash,” says Andrew Ross Sorkin, financial journalist and author of “1929.”

I really hope many of the folks who have opposed denser housing in Central Austin for years but also bemoan the closing of beloved community schools think carefully about projects like this. Housing like this solves our enrollment crisis and enables a pathway to living in Central Austin for young families. More of this please!
Cedar@cedarbuild

Sneak peek at one of our upcoming projects in Austin, made possible by Austin's HOME initiative. 3 homes where there was once 1, each sized for younger families and folks who normally couldn't afford to live in Brentwood. And maybe most importantly... beautifully designed courtyards that bend around a few trees that have been there for over a hundred years.

If Austin wants to be a tier 1, tech city it needs to get serious and stop using this water for frivolous recreation and start using it for data centers. If you don’t understand this, you’re going to get left behind

Insider reporting from an unnamed White House official says the Iran deal is “95% done.” The remaining 5% of negotiations are focused on Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz and turning over all nuclear material.
Scott Jennings@ScottJenningsKY

🚨After receiving a briefing from a Senior TRUMP Administration Official on the status of the Iran negotiations (someone in the know & not just speculating), I can tell you the following: -USA IS NOT GIVING IRANIANS MONEY FOR NOTHING. All speculation and propaganda to the contrary is false. Some hardline elements of Iran’s govt (IRGC) have pushed fake stories & propaganda to try to kill this negotiation. -Iran deal is NOT done (95%, but still haggling over some language). No deal being signed today. May be a few more days before this is done. -Iran will NOT get any money or sanctions relief up front. -Iran must turn over nuclear stockpile to get anything. USA position is that failure to meet deal commitments means Iran gets nothing. -Long term USA objective is preventing Iran from having nuclear weapon. -Initial deal point is to re-establish free flow of commerce by reopening Strait of Hormuz. Deal should have 2 phases: Step 1 - Open Strait of Hormuz. Give world economy breathing room. Iran agrees to give up enriched uranium. Step 2 - Get the nuclear material turned over. Only then can Iran get sanctions relief. Bottom line: goal is to make a deal that lowers costs for Americans, calms world energy markets, and guarantees that Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon over the long term. We aren’t there yet. Iran takes forever to get you a response on even small things. But we are close although it still could be a few days. “If we get what we are demanding, this is going to be a historic deal,” SAO says. SAO sounds prepared to do no deal at all if all Iran will do is a “bad deal.” SAO admits deal could fall apart yet. But if a deal is reached, SAO expects very senior USA admin officials to take part in a signing ceremony of some sort. Iran has agreed in principle to the framework but there are still a couple points USA isn’t satisfied with. 95% done. But literally changing words sometimes requires days in Iran’s system. Haggling over language. But USA feels like we have a commitment on nuclear stockpile and on opening Strait of Hormuz. If IRAN doesn’t deliver on commitments, they get nothing. “Iran’s ability to project power is a lot more limited than it was two months ago,” SAO says. “Their industrial base for building ballistic missiles has been substantially destroyed.”

Kamala is going to be the nominee. The more Gavin Newsom talks the less people like him. If he were a black woman that wouldn’t matter, but Newsom has no base. He and Mayor Pete will battle for the white wine moms. Shapiro is Jewish and done. It’s going to be Kamala.

Nobelprijswinnaar Krugman noemt Trump de meest openlijke corrupte leider. "We weten dat Putin zich met miljarden heeft verrijkt, dat haalde hij niet direct uit de schatkist. Er was altijd verhulling. Zelfs dictators uit derdewereldlanden proberen hun diefstal te verdoezelen."

Petraeus: Ukraine went from 3.5M drones last year to 7M this year. If it finds enough pilots, it can reach 20,000 drones a day. Next come truly autonomous systems and drone swarms — and the West does not really have a solution yet.

The only way to deal with the Iranian regime’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz is to force the Strait open. Military force in the Strait is the only way to re-establish deterrence. The regime does not get to turn international waters on and off like a light switch.

@jjonesschenk @notafinger42 Not one company. Thousands of companies. Competing to deliver better care at a lower price. Technology is inherently dis-inflationary. Think flat screen TVs. Prices are high BECAUSE of regulation.

@notafinger42 I would love to hear what principled company you would trust to run a free market healthcare system. Actually it’s more difficult to name 100 principled companies to do this. When quarterly earning are your success metric you can’t focus on patient first. Even without regulation.

This free market BS is ridiculous!! Capitalism (the basis of free market BS) is not the correct solution for social services. EVER! Once a social service system is implemented with a profit motive rather than a people motive, it is lost. Case in point, health insurance.
Mark Cuban@mcuban

Ok. Take government completely out of healthcare. No rules. No laws. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Hospitals, insurance companies, can do anything they want. What do they do ? If you were running any of the biggest insurance companies or hospitals, what would you do differently once gov was completely out of healthcare ?
