A large and growing sector of the U.S. economy produces nothing of value.
Derivatives, private equity, hedge funds.
Every winner comes at the expense of a current or future loser.
The only things this “zero-sum” sector produces is more money for the wealthy.
Sean Hannity confirms in a deposition that he knew he was lying when he was pushing The Big Lie on his show immediately after the election.
“I did not believe it for one second.”

@andrewwinston Handle. I only see the abbreviated part. @BrainDryClean but isn't there a part after that like @Mastodon ?
@stevesilberman But I forget my password and if I put in a new password will I have to log back on?
@andrewwinston How do you know what your Mastodon name is? Thx.
There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests
Y'all do realize that poor people pay more for slower Internet service than those in wealthy neighborhoods, right?
And one recent study found that poor, mostly black and brown neighborhoods in LA County pay anywhere from $10 to $40 more per month than mostly white, higher-income neighborhoods for the exact same service.
It's expensive to be poor in America
Wrote a story about it. Wanna read it, here it go
Of course he is with another Traitor to our country.
Nice piece on New York Times' pro-Republican false equivalency bias, along with its reluctance to actually describe political policy & plausible effects on the actual situation in US (preferring to couch policy discussions in horserace terms) https://www.salon.com/2022/12/10/how-the-new-york-times-helped-win-the/ (with a nice H/T to my 2017 paper with Duncan Watts: Don’t blame the election on fake news. Blame it on the media.)
BREAKING: Twitter has dissolved its Trust & Safety Council in its entirety, per a new internal email.
The Council focused on Online Safety and Harassment, Human and Digital Rights, Suicide Prevention and Mental Health, Child Sexual Exploitation, and Dehumanization on Twitter.

Post-Trump GOP plan is to revert to the exact Bush strategy of hawkish foreign policy (China instead of Iraq) & trying to appeal to voters of color with traditionalist views on sex/gender issues (pronouns instead of marriage) in order to take one more run at privatizing Medicare.
@ModelUki2@mastodon.sdf.org @davidpmaurer@mastodon.sdf.org @protecttruth Media is very powerful. That's why they spend billions on advertising spots that last 2 minutes a year. Fox is 24/7 and has the most sophisticated brainwashing techniques.
1) the #foxempfänger has long ago admitted publicly in court they are not a news channel, they are an entertainment channel and people would be "stupid to believe what they say is real" as an explanation - in court - for lying about presidential election outcome among others.
2) as a very first step they need be cut out from official information. "entertaining" channels wondering why they are supposed to stick to facts have no business being in a WH press room.
@protecttruth @BrainDryClean I always regret it when I do but once again today I checked out the Fox News(?) site because hey you should know your enemy. Once again I saw just how much of a propaganda rag it really is. In the distant past they at least tried to trick the causal observer into thinking they were real news now there isn’t even that pretext.
@ModelUki2@mastodon.sdf.org @davidpmaurer@mastodon.sdf.org @protecttruth Might be. But he's also a sociopathic, egomaniacal, grifter who would take money from anyone and everyone.
@protecttruth We as a country HAVE to be able to do something about it. NOW
@protecttruth @BrainDryClean Tucker would be an irrelevant hack if he did not have the audience on Fox where gullible people tune to lap up the lies and hate he peddles.
