The MAGA free speech warriors have created a "Media Offenders Hall of Shame," which is now posted on the official (.gov) White House website.

It has a "leaderboard" and snappy info graphics to illustrate who are the "repeat offenders."

This is what our gov't does with its (your) resources.

^{The White House}

🎯
100% Pure #TrumpVirus 'thinking'.

True to form. As with his first term spreading his virus, and about 1000 other denials of #reality every day, in every way.

#psychology / #Freud reference: #denial #projection #psychopathology
and another 'primitive' defense: #avoidance (in Sir's case, of #truth)
And seen among the #GQP #cult - a more recent #cognitive / social psych dynamic: #CogniveDissonance

As even MAGATs see the real-life #economy and are less inclined to blindly follow the insane / #evil calls to ignore our own lyin' eyes, and yet #media writ large is still acting like our Toddler King is somehow connected to reality and as he says, everything is terrific.

"Welcome to the Great AI Bubble, a metastasized trillion dollar tech tumour so massive it’s practically visible from space.

If you haven’t heard of this yet, it’s not because you're not paying attention."

Icelandic is in danger of dying out because of AI and English-language media, says a former PM.

Iceland’s former prime minister, Katrín Jakobsdóttir, has said that the Icelandic language could be wiped out in as little as a generation due to the sweeping rise of AI and encroaching English language dominance.

Katrín Jakobsdóttir and her co-author want the 350 000 people who speak the language to fight for its future.

ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.

The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.
