PBS and NPR get defunded; what’s next? | Diverse Tech Geek
Conservatives have finally achieved their regressive goal of defunding PBS and NPR. I offer guesses as to what’s next for our public broadcasters.Anthony Dean (Diverse Tech Geek)
Children are incapable of consent while being trafficked. It's 'Sexual assault of a child' or 'raping a child'.
Trump and his fellow rapist wealthy "elite" are the true scum of society. Their depravity knows no bounds. They all deserve the maximum punishment for their crimes.

🧡 Thank you for doing your part in reporting unacceptable online content! That is more than most folks would do.
(I work for a NGO in the US. We prevent violence against adolescents. Online content causes harm in many ways.)
Hopefully Substack has taken appropriate action by now.
If not, there might be some other options for reporting the content. This guidance from the Let's STOP Hate Speech group, funded by the EU might be helpful:

Conservatives Get the #PBS & #NPR Cuts They’ve Wanted for Decades
The cuts speak to #Trump’s grip on his party but also to the sweeping changes in #media.
They tried under Ronald Reagan & George H.W. Bush & George W. Bush. Newt Gingrich gave it a go when he controlled the #House, & Bob Dole did, too, when he held power in the #Senate.
But for 5 decades, #Republicans failed time & again to choke off #federal #funding for #PublicBroadcasting.
Substack appears more than happy to profit from harm and hate.
"[...] Substack's refusal to tackle misinformation and hate speech is still happening. Writers are publicly speaking out about leaving Substack or calling out the company's policies when it comes to free speech, content moderation, and censorship."

In this #DotSocial episode, @mike talks with @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler and @ProPublica's @ben about the benefits of decentralization.
"I think what's really missing is the human-to-human connection and the human curation ... Our informal tagline is 'by humans for humans.' We really just want someone to look at our stuff and send it to their friends in a group text or talk about it out loud or add it to a stream on the fediverse," Jason says.

Here's a simple hack if you have one of those insane old remotes like mine with a million buttons and a tiny mute button that makes cutting the BS at breaks a challenge:
Take a small file (even a nail file would do) and carefully notch the edge of the remote beside where the mute is.
Now you can find it by touch in a moment every time.

As part of the settlement, #Paramount said that it had agreed to release written transcripts of future “#60Minutes” interviews with presidential candidates. The company said that the settlement did not include an apology.
The deal is the clearest sign yet that #Trump’s ability to intimidate major American institutions extends to the #media industry.

#Paramount said late Tuesday that it has agreed to pay #Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit over the editing of an interview on the #CBS News program “#60Minutes,” an extraordinary concession to a sitting president by a major #media organization.
Paramount said its payment includes Trump’s legal fees & costs & that the money, minus the legal fees, will be paid to Trump’s future [nonexistent] presidential library.

The Federal Court has found that the ABC unlawfully terminated journalist Antoinette Lattouf's employment. Her employment was unlawfully terminated on the basis of political opinion.
The court found that ABC senior management did not terminate her employment on the basis of race and nationality. The court also found the ABC's decision to terminate Lattouf's employment was made to "appease pro-Israel lobbyists".

The convicted fraud withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal because of spite, ignorance, or both.
Trump created the problem. The single reason Iran was so close to obtaining a nuclear weapon is that Trump destroyed the diplomatic agreement that put major, verifiable constraints on their nuclear program.
"MSM doing a bang-up job right now of ignoring the fact that a criminal POTUS unilaterally declared war and instead focusing on Iran’s nuclear capabilities which had a deal w/USA until same criminal pulled out of it because it was achieved under Obama. Trump is a threat to peace everywhere."
From Kit @oconnell in the archives: “The reality is that gender-affirming medical care for trans youth is not controversial within mainstream medicine.”
