I do think the financing on this deal is fucked and will probs collapse

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani says the Warner Bros & Paramount merger should be stopped: “This merger is bad for New Yorkers 3 times over. Thousands of jobs at risk here in the city. Streaming bills going up as competition disappears. And 2 of America’s most powerful media companies under one roof, deciding what you watch and what you hear. Today, as Warner Bros. and Paramount shareholders vote, New York City is on record: this merger should be stopped.”

@AlwaysFlacko @souljagoyteller JFK was also more cosmopolitan and worldly about foreign policy. He went to India and met with Nehru and understood the United States needed to win a hearts and minds campaign in the developing world. Military might also wouldn't be sufficient to crush communism
English
Maybe. Although I do think there are some important differences.. 1) JFK’s thinking was far more flexible than LBJ’s ever was.. especially on 3rd world issues 2) JFK really was profoundly impacted by the Cuban Missile Crisis.. 3) this would have been JFK’s second term whereas LBJ was terrified Bobby would run to his right on Vietnam

He stayed up until 2 AM last night using Claude and is kind of zoning out and not paying attention when he’s not using it. We’re really worried about him. It’s hard to communicate to him how unhealthy it is.

Dads been doing a lot of AI stuff lately. A little depressing. What can you do.

@TFTSAA @souljagoyteller If that was the case a virulently racist, genocidal movement Zionism would've been the cause célèbre of the global left
English
@souljagoyteller Hate movements are incompatible with liberal politics but historically have been readily adopted by socialist and communist governments. Hope this helps.
English
There’s a very simple reason why socialism and anti-Zionism became married: the entire American establishment stood behind Israel and didn’t allow for any peep of anti-Zionism to occur. No one, NO ONE, made the case for liberal/center-left anti-Zionism (and the case can be made!)
Josh Kraushaar@JoshKraushaar
WSJ: “There is something deeper going on here than a fight over foreign policy. Democrats may be repulsed by Israel’s behavior, but this is really an argument over America. The connection between socialism and anti-Zionism is revealing: Increasingly, one’s attitude toward Israel and its self-defense reflects one’s attitude toward America—its free market, its global leadership, its use of force and its exceptional nature. The two democratic nations have special roles in the world. They share interests—and adversaries, most notably radical Islamists pursuing nuclear weapons. Supporters of Israel are supporters of America, and vice versa.”

@HitFactoryPod A chapter by chapter break down of Moby Dick with pals would be pretty fun tbh

@boriskarkov I was browsing through Barnes and Noble today. The cost of books has exploded too. Made me quite sad
English
@leftwick20 @MakeUSAVAT Until the balance of the Supreme Court changes there's no point in passing anti gun legislation anyway
English
@MakeUSAVAT The Dems should probably just drop gun control entirely, it sucks but the antigun position turns ~25% of the electorate rabidly against you for a policy that would never be implemented even if the united states had a communist revolution
English
i wish the left were actually a single issue anti israel movement, would spare us from stuff like Hasan telling the new york times that shoplifting from whole foods is a salutary act of revolution
Jordan Klein@dodgersjordan
My daily fuck leftists for having zero principles post. They refuse to compromise an inch on Israel / AIPAC and anyone who isn’t militant on the issue is a genocider but Platner being weak on gun control? Eh who cares
English
@dodgersjordan @KarthikForTexas That's why unlike Platner, who's from a rural state, there aren't many Dems who are pro gun lol. Looks like you're grasping at straws to be mad at the left
English
@KarthikForTexas That’s true but there’s also very few Dem districts or states that are pro gun. So not really an apples to oranges comparison

Politics & Poll Tracker 📡@PollTracker2024
NBC News: Graham Platner, notably, leans to the right on one issue: He said he’d oppose a ban on semi-automatic assault weapons, a goal that Democrats have pursued for years. “In a nation awash in guns like ours,” he said, the focus should be on restricting access to firearms people with a violent history or “displaying a likelihood of committing a violent act.” #MaineSenate

@StolenDans I've never done this but I want to. Just worried that people will think I'm weird. And I don't drink alcohol lol
English
@AlwaysFlacko They're like "America, New Zealand, Canada & Australia got to do genocide why not us?"
English
@SnakeThatStings Ben Gurion said it and many more recent historians like Benny Morris who are supposedly Israel’s intellectual class.. oh we should have finished the Nakba that was our biggest mistake..
English
I like how David Ben-Gurion’s whole thing was just like “I’m basically a Socialist!! If I was an Arab?? I’d fight for my home too!! Also I should have killed more of them!!!”

@AngledLuminary My coworker also recommended Assassin's Apprentice to me and I really liked it. Waiting before getting to Royal Assassin before I heard the heartbreak is worse in that one
English
Successfully got my junior resident to start reading assassin’s apprentice by lending him my copy, the same strategy worked on my little sister as well who’s now reading Ship of Destiny

@fiendformojitos I haven't read this book but I wonder what they'll do with Louie. I hope they don't ditch him

@OrangeFreddyG I think he did it to placate Hochul and Trump.
English
I’m usually supportive of Zohran but it’s despite keeping Tisch, he’d be just as successful if he hadn’t and I highly doubt he has many supporters who are pro Tisch
English
I’m open to suggestions but it is Zohran’s job to find a police commissioner who aligns with his and his voter’s values (or one that’s as close as possible)
Instead he punted the decision and kept someone who doesn’t align at all
Ruth Geye@RuthGeye
I’m obviously pro dumping Tisch, but like….is there someone we Do want? who is the harm reduction candidate for police commissioner lol
English
@AngledLuminary You read all 16 books in 2 months? I'm pacing myself. I've only read Assassin's Apprentice and liked it
English
The last 2 months were an amazing journey, I can’t believe it has ended. I will never get over these books and this beautiful vibrant world. Thank you Robin Hobb.

@chainsofwar6 @TheGeekyCast Totally agree. I wish they'd skip over it go to the Robot arc because it's fucking sick

@TheGeekyCast Honestly, that whole dinosaurus arc is kinda boring to me lol

Seems the dinosaurus thing

@decoyrobot The show had a 100 different ways to make fun of fat people and this was not one of them lol.
English
Literally not a single second in the series where this character is written or filmed to imply that the creators or the internal worldview considers her fat

@lionel_trolling @DiplomatOfNight It's funny how Tucker only took the anti-Israel line after he lost Fox News gig. This is a blatant attempt at cultivating a new audience for his online show
English
He supported the Iraq war! How many times are you gonna fall for this?
Cenk Uygur@cenkuygur
I’m a little disgusted by the lack of grace some people on our side are showing people like @TuckerCarlson for not only opposing Trump but apologizing for supporting him. They definitely don’t speak for Muslim-Americans, who are grateful for our new allies. The humanity Tucker, @FmrRepMTG, @RepThomasMassie and others have shown as they fought to help children in Gaza, and to stop this war, and stop Israel’s genocide, has been amazing and appreciated. If some pundits on the left demand we condemn people who have shown millions of our fellow Americans on the right that we deserve compassion too, my answer is a firm no. Maybe some elite liberals have enough privilege to have the genocide and the wars on Gaza, Lebanon and Iran as lower priorities for themselves, but we don’t have that luxury. This is a matter of life and death. We don’t have time for partisan games in serious times like this. And as an American, I care deeply about American sovereignty. And if you think Israel hasn’t robbed us of our sovereignty or that it’s not that important, then you’re no ally of mine. In my opinion, these figures on the right have been heroic in their fight against the war. Either do better than them or have the decency not to criticize someone fighting harder than you.

@stendhalist It's embarassing that they can't even do the policestate storyline properly with Annie. Homelander & Soldier Boy are the only compelling parts of the show now
