Here's some perspective this MLK Day 2024. President Jimmy Carter is 5 years older than Dr. King. Yet, while thankfully President Carter is still with us, the struggle and life of Dr. King is portrayed as ancient history.
Remember, "The past is never dead. It's not even past.”
The problems with our media in one headline
“Climate activist Tom Steyer.”
While Reuters doesn’t call Manchin or Koch or Uihlein or Wilks or Murdoch activists for fossil fuels.
Just endless headlines attacking people trying to do good, while coddling corrupt actors who do selfish things. It’s maddening.
@thomasfuchs and one of the biggest problems is hydroplaning, which can and will happen if your vehicle's tires lose grip on the road.
*A tractor-trailer* or an *APC* can hydroplane (and multiple ones usually do every year, often leading to at best a wreck and at worst deaths, every winter they're on the news here, usually as the result of a truck jackknife crash or people dying training at the military bases). Making it through the water doesn't even matter if you can't stop or get control after you're out of it.
@nickmartin I don't know what has to replace Twitter, but something has to.
Something where even reasonable conservatives and moderates are welcome too.
The current crop of way too many competitors for a limited userbase and attention span isn't working.
It has big "Judean Peoples' Front? We're the Peoples' Front of Judea!" vibes. "Splitters!"
Angelo John Gage, a neo-Nazi who recently started using the name "Lucas Gage" and whose Twitter feed is a constant stream of antisemitism and racism, says he received his first payment through the platform's revenue sharing system.
It's was $165.52 — not much, obviously. But it's also not nothing.
Elon Musk has not only welcomed Nazis. He's now directly paying them too.
@Chaft This would explain a lot about how the Empire maintained its grip on power so long. Stuff like this shouldn't work, but it often does.
Some of the new Disney+ shows kind of fill in the background enough to make it seem like stuff like this (albeit less over the top) might even exist too.
