History is so important.

"A group of anti-fascists disrupting a white supremacist gathering"

The Murdoch family's Fox "News" payoff to Dominion is a reminder of two things:

1) It's real money but the company's shareholders can easily afford it, given Fox's profitability.

2) The core reason for those profits is Fox "carriage agreements". What's that? If you subscribe to cable/satellite TV (or most online equivalents), you almost certainly send money to that evil company every month.

If this angers you, and it should, please cancel and tell the carrier why.

The greatest story about social media. I don't think it gets better.

In November 2022, @TexasObserver became one of the first newspapers to start their own Mastodon server.

Unlike most newspapers, @TexasObserver operates as a non-profit.

This week, the non-profit’s board of directors voted to disband @TexasObserver.

But within 48 hours, people have given $250,000 so it can continue to exist.

Occasionally humans collectively make enormous errors. Choices of leadership to where we go on holiday. Once we realise the mistake we correct it and if sane never do it again. So why is Brexit something that can’t be reversed? Kier Starmer has said we have to make it work.
You cannot successfully make a catastrophe work well. It continues to be destructive. Continues to reduce Britain to a backward small island.
