The owner of the company can still suspend an on air personality and it’s not infringing on free speech because it’s not the government forcing that person off the air but rather the network they work for. Also free speech is specifically a congressional issue, the first amendment saying that congress can make no law stifling speech. It actually says nothing about legislative or judicial branches stopping speech. So it would specifically be that congress wrote a bill to kick him off the air. Otherwise it’s all fair game.

Steve Huffman already wants to be Mini Elon Musk.

Now that ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys are dumb

And we do feel that we produce a superior product here in the United States, and we just need to have the markets.

lol. lmao even.

Facts don’t care about your feelings bitch!

Like everything else, the same laws and rules they have hidden behind to justify and protect their absolute dogshit behavior will be the first things the regime will get rid of for protecting anyone other than their in-group.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

You don’t understand they need to be able to dogwhistle somehow. /s

Interesting choice of number here. /s

They had Ezra Klein out there glazing Charlie Kirk so I’m sure they’ll have him glazing Trump’s accomplishments soon.

Since it seems you’re asking a question in good faith I’ll try to answer. I’m not the person you replied to but here…

I think the main thing that has changed is the disappearance of Elon Musk. Last time around there was what I consider to be valid concern that Musk would pay his flunkies out of pocket to keep working and tearing apart the Federal government during the shutdown. With most Federal employees going home during a shutdown, it would leave very few at the helm to be able to stop DOGE in their iteration at the time. Musk was making hay at the time of how they could do things on weekends because no one was there to stop them, and it was very reasonable to consider that he would personally pay his flunkies to tear shit apart while people were furloughed during a shutdown. As frustrating as it was, and as much as I fucking loathe the likes of Chuck Schumer and his corporate cock sucking ilk, I personally did see Musk as a legitimate threat if the shutdown occurred last time around. Musk is gone and there is no one to pay DOGE employees to keep working while everyone else goes home, so it stands to reason that you might actually maybe get these old chucklefucks on board for doing something right for once. Not making any promises, though, as I agree with another poster that characterized Schumer as a last minute pants pisser.

Google in the pocket of extremists and helping them wipe their sordid history from the internet.

I always knew the tactics of the US War On Terror would come home to roost. I’m honestly surprised it took as long as it did for it to happen. Anyway, this reeks of the same justifications they used to go to war in Iraq and their justifications for “extraordinary rendition” as well as “enhanced interrogation.” No evidence, just vague justifications for what they need to do to “keep America safe.” Saddam Hussein never had WMDs and the left isn’t a terrorism network. They’ll falsify evidence just like they did with Iraq and Saddam.

The good ol’ imperial boomerang.

The future of the US.

He deserves it all if only for his masterwork in the criminally underrated Kind Hearts and Coronets.

He was an asshole before that though.

I am very likely to be one of those deaths when the Medicaid rules change on January 1st, 2027.

Washington state minimum wage is pretty high and increases based on cost of living every year. The income cutoff for Medicaid is pretty low.

I will have to be working at least 20 hours a week in 2027, and there’s a significant chance that in doing so I will end up making more than the Medicaid limit and be forced to pay for health insurance that won’t cover nearly as much of the $18k a month without insurance meds that I very likely may have to take for the rest of my life to stay alive.

To not have to do this I would need to give up working and apply for disability. Even though I have cancer I would need legal disability status to avoid the work requirements since I don’t have children. Even though I am in my forties I am considered one of those “able bodied young men abusing Medicaid to stay home playing video games.”

It’s fucking sickening and I am furious about it.

just wear eyeliner … You’ll outgrow it.

I guess the thing I am most curious about is updates to their networking equipment. If I recall correctly a lot of the early Firewall was set up using Cisco routers and switches. Has enough time passed for the system to have moved to hardware built in China? Because it was pretty clear that the US was using Cisco equipment as a back channel for US intelligence services to spy internationally. Anyway, if so, what are the companies involved and does the leak include source code for the routers and switches?

Edit: Oops this was supposed to be a top level comment and not a reply. Oh well.

The Fall

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fall_(2006_film)

Singh stressed the importance of on-location filming and lack of special effects, as he found that modern techniques would not age well in comparison.

When shooting scenes of the blue city in Jodhpur, Tarsem provided locals with blue paint to refresh the paint on their houses. This alternative to post-production effects resulted in the vibrant blue of the city in the film.

This entire film is practically a love letter to early film practical special effects. Is it the best story? No, the story is flat in many respects. Yet the film to this day is visually stunning, and stands as one of my favorite films due to it’s visually captivating presence. The film surely does have small amounts of modern special effects, but by and large Singh worked very hard at producing mostly practical effects.

This is the internet, maybe build it yourself instead of demanding others do the work for you?

You could also just as easily only paste in the encoded part and put the decoded bit back into the link yourself.
