AI is so unpopular that they've decided going with a nonsensical moniker invented by the most unpopular President ever will be a net positive for branding

so Universal wants to block global distribution of the "MUSK" documentary, and the Ellisons seem likely to try to block the streaming release on HBO early next year if their takeover is approved in time... we all better plan on making the US theatrical release an absolute blowout event!

Musk is already underwater in polls and if Democrats lean in they can make him even more toxic. He's declared open war on you all and is pushing a toxic, destructive, racist agenda. Maybe it's time to push back? I don't know, I'm just spitballing here.

I think we're at the point where we can incredibly comfortably say that your attitude towards Reform, Restore, MAGA, the AfD etc is how you'd have responded to fascism in the 1930s

She is so fucking stupid, any person given this massive portfolio at one of the biggest networks who also had a quarter of a brain would be able to figure out that you gotta be more subtle than this; you didn’t get a job at Fox Business, who do u think your audience is

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply β€” even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. (Published May 2025)

propublica.orgThe Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives β€” but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

I remember when someone tried to argue with me about this on here, saying it was survivorship bias, and not my own comparisons of the same brands' material quality and stitching over the past 30+ years. Anyway, yes shit is actually more poorly made now than it used to be even a short while ago.

theguardian.comNot your imagination: from backpacks to food, consumer goods are getting worseIs it possible to avoid the continuing decline in quality of consumer products brought on by corporate greed?

First time I've seen this point raised. Graham Platner's volunteers revolted against him, his page on ActBlue was canned, the DSCC and the Maine Dems weren't going to spend on him or help him. Those things pushed him to drop out! The GOP has done none of the above, just a handful of them asking him.

"GOP may be stuck with Rep. Max Miller in Ohio" This piece is written as if the GOP were a passive bystander. But Republican leaders could have told Miller to get out. The could have said they wouldn't endorse him, or fund the race. Instead they enabled him to stay. www.axios.com/2026/08/09/o...

Just to make the point abundantly clear, Chris Wallace is now a paid advisor to an investment firm that has a large stake in Paramount and a vested interest in getting the Warner Bros. merger over the line. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
