  • Bezos directs Washington Post opinion pages to promote ‘personal liberties and free markets’

    Jump

  • I've got a feeling that "personal liberties and free markets" means something different for billionaires than it does for normal people.

  • Elon Musk’s rule by poll

  • It's also non-Americans and bots. Probably giving the FSB thousands of votes in every poll!

  • Ukraine agrees US minerals deal after Washington drops toughest demands

    Jump

  • Doesn't seem like there's anything in writing.

  • I'm sure they know exactly who and what Trump is. I don't think it'll change Trump's behaviour either. I'm assuming they're just gambling against the odds that it will because the near future without the US is much harder for Ukraine than it is with them.

  • I can't help but still feel this is a bad idea.

    Totally. But Ukraine's in an impossible situation. The US running a protection racket is fucking disgusting.

  • Dan Bongino made his name in podcasting, with plenty to say about the FBI

  • It's 'a fox for every henhouse' but the foxes are also idiots.

  • Why would America declaring cartels terrorist organizations be a problem for Mexico?

    Jump

  • I've never seen anything about her in particular. I think this ProPublica investigation is the most in-depth reporting on the relationship between cartels and her political party. They basically allege that cartels paid millions to buy Mexico's 'hugs, not bullets' policy.

  • Does the US count? Cuz he's threatened to use the military there too!

  • Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?

    Jump

  • They were always Nazis. The more mainstream-seeming "alt-right" guys were just suit Nazis. They feel more comfortable coming out in the open now, even if it's still a bit draped in "doing it for lulz" deniability. I'm skeptical that they're fully aware that it'll hurt their legitimacy. They're dug in like ticks in their echo chamber, are constantly goading each into being more openly extreme, and celebrate the push back there.

  • why are they called “popular girls” if they’re typically not friends with anyone outside their small friend group?

  • Not only is Substack right-wing broligarchy garbage, it's way more expensive than Ghost

    Jump

  • Yes:

    One, its terms of service ban content that “is violent or threatening or promotes violence or actions that are threatening to any other person.” Ghost founder and CEO John O’Nolan committed to us that Ghost’s hosted service will remove pro-Nazi content, full stop. If nothing else, that’s further than Substack will go, and makes Ghost a better intermediate home for Platformer than our current one.

  • I don't think we're completely saved forever but they tried making podcasts Spotify-exclusive. I remember a bunch of Gimlet podcast hosts being like "please come to Spotify to listen to us -- it's better than it used to be!" They ended up caving because people didn't listen. Podcasting is built around RSS -- even though people aren't really aware of it -- and people expect to get them this way.
