It’s not that the FCC doesn’t regulate cable, it’s that cable doesn’t have broadcast licenses. No spectrum license to revoke.

The path to regulating a cable TV channel is not a straightforward one in the US. If it was, cable news a la Fox would have been in the crosshairs devades ago.

Yup

Voted 99-0 in the Senate.

Good job, Democrats. We know Republicans were pieces of shit, but the reason Democrats’ polling is in the toilet is because of stuff like this.

Yeah, but only because “CBS” doesn’t have a broadcast license, stations do.

Also, cable TV doesn’t use “broadcast licenses”, and IPTV & streaming certainly don’t.

A lot of what Trump does makes sense when you realize his brain ossified in 1982.

Wow, they’re really adding value and innovation and creating jobs…

Why are they protesting Israel? Why is that, Mr Newspaper?

Just reminding everyone that Lutke is a right-wing shitheel, and that he and Shopify explicitly platform, support and make money from Nazism.

Carry on.

So, what you’re saying is we need a party of dicks fuck both the pussies and the assholes, before the pussies are covered in shit?

Technically they can’t dismantle USAID either.

A lot depends on the courts now.

“National Conservatism” on the wall, without a hint of irony.

I wonder if in a decade or so, if NaCo (nacho?) will replace Nazi in the lexicon.

NT 3.5 was the last good version. Fight me.

You’re absolutely right about this. 7 is basically a Vista service pack that got rebranded.

All of the “good stuff” people credit 7 with came in Vista.

8 wasn’t nearly as bad as people think, and there were big improvements to the kernel that make it a definite improvement over 7.

The problem for most people was the Start screen, which if you could get past, left you with what was a really good OS.

Less ads and telemetry than 10, too.

The RNC saw moderates kicked out by voters in primaries, and candidates made sure to run.

Why can’t the DNC and progressive voters do the same?

The same way the Tea Party primaried out moderate Republicans.

Show up and vote.

Discretion? From the whale carcass anti-vax guy?

Because Google was so focused and strategic before the pandemic rollseyes.

The issue is Google’s broken governance and incentive system, which gives product owners and executives incentives for new products and actively disincentivizes maintaining and improving existing products…and that was a thing from well before the pandemic hit.

It’s why Google launched three pay systems and had five messaging systems at the same time.

And, finally, this is all because of the strategy set by senior leaders.

Do more for the poor.

It’s really that simple. Do more for more people, and less for corporations. Deliver results.

That’s why the Right is eating everyone’s lunch: they’re promising they’ll make things better. They’re lying, of course, and their path to making things better is just basic scapegoating of out- groups, but at least they’re speaking to people’s insecurities, where the neoliberal left is clinking glasses with billionaires.

So China gets to make money while Russia does all the dirty work, with both Russia and the West falling into economic peril.

Win-win for the Chinese.
