Facebook is more exposed than other tech companies on an antitrust level too! The remedy for them is relatively simple, just roll back the instagram and WhatsApp acquisitions.
They're not even trying to be slick about it anymore. Billionaires are full on flop-sweating about the ass-whipping they're about to get.

@davechen.bsky.social I am not here to shame, but simply to emplore you - millennial to millennial - you have to watch Band of Brothers ASAP, it’s incredible. HBO also released a retrospective doc, so this is the perfect time to watch it for the first time. youtu.be/IjLg0X59fMA?...
Streaming will always be better than cable because of how easy it is to cancel and because of how you can bring your content with you when you travel.
If every streamer in the game decides that paywalled always-on channels, bundles, and even more price increases are the way forward, it’s really going to feel like we’ve come full circle back to cable. Read more from @charlespulliam.bsky.social:

@kcarterjackson.bsky.social @pastpunditry.bsky.social @jodyavirgan.com @thisdaypod.com Im about a week behind in my podcasts queue but you guys HAVE to watch For All Mankind, especially as historians!! It’s an alternate history show so much of the fun is seeing how they adopt/change real history.
Our neighborhood grocery store in CT (S/O Big Y) has a bag of 25 chicken nuggets for $5 that are as good as anything you’d get at any fast food chain. It’s the ultimate “kids eat while you shop” item.
Grabbing yourself a donut from the bakery department as you grocery shop is an underrated life hack. Like and subscribe for more of my #DadTips
@dmc-ryan.bsky.social I just caught up on last weeks Unlocked and I once again put forward my proposal for how Xbox should handle physical media. The key to keeping costs down is printing on-demand (with a communicated delivery delay) which prevents them from having to hold excess inventory.
A hill I am willing to die on: players should be able to order any game in the Xbox/PS store for on-demand printing. Centralize operations, charge an extra $10 over MSRP and be clear that delivery will take 1-2 weeks. Who says no?

Jesus Christ. Run your own fucking campaign how you want. But don't go out of your way to give Republicans ammo against Democrats running in other districts. Such stupid assholes.
Thirteen Democratic House members and candidates announced their support for a centrist initiative aimed at pushing back against the party’s tilt toward democratic socialism.
If Dems want to make inroads with young men, promising to address the RAM crisis would be a great place to start. Xbox SX launched in 2020 at $500, and is now $800!! @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @delauro.house.gov
Microsoft is hiking the price of its Xbox consoles by $100 or more. The discless Xbox Series X will start at $749.99, while the disc drive version is $799.99. Overall, 512GB models will be $100 more expensive, while 1TB models will be $150 more expensive www.theverge.com/games/957042...

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.
I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

@dmc-ryan.bsky.social I had to go find my old OXMs after listening to the most recent ep of Unlocked. Here’s a pic of the special sealed page!

America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.
President Trump will issue a plan next week for letting Americans tap their 401(k)s for a down payment on a home, a senior White House official said Friday.

@thurrott.bsky.social I see these types of mini PCs pop up on SlickDeals all the time lately. a.co/d/bQLbOsT Seems like a good deal to me. Do you have any experience with these or any similar devices?
@davechen.bsky.social @jeffcannata.bsky.social @devindra.bsky.social I haven't seen it yet, so I just went into the Cinemark app to look at Thunderbolts showtime for this weekend and was presented with the change-in-marketing spoiler you guys discussed in your review. It hasn't even been a week!!
Any coinciding effort to make American car companies more competitive? If not this is just a bill that's going to force drivers to pay $35k for a new EV when we could be spending $15k
Today I introduced my first bill in the U.S. Senate, and its to ban Chinese vehicles in the U.S. market. Learn more here: www.detroitnews.com/story/busine...

@jeffcannata.bsky.social your "Hawk Things" joke on this week's after dark single handedly justified my patron sub for this month. I think I was laughing harder than @davechen.bsky.social

Harassment, racism, and engagement farming are not “a difference of opinion.” Had a chance to talk about BlueSky on Pablo’s pod—and why the echo chamber argument mischaracterizes what’s actually going on. 📺: youtu.be/DFBlec2Exrw?...
