If by “sick people” he meant people infected with SARS‑CoV‑2 … yeah.

It’s almost unbearable. I hardly ever go anymore. And when I do, I tend to forget what movie I am there to see before it even begins.

Indeed.

Granted, the Democrats have been notoriously incompetent when presented with an opportunity to beat the GOP at its own game. This gerrymandering one-upmanship — endorsed by Obama even! — blew my mind. I didn't know they had it in 'em.

A detailed, symbolic painting inspired by the movie "Pulp Fiction," featuring Samuel L. Jackson's character depicted as a Jesus-like figure with a glowing halo and radiant hands, blessing a sick man lying in a hospital bed. Surrounding them are other characters from the film—John Travolta and Uma Thurman—both praying, and a nurse and another man watching solemnly. Above, three cherubic angels with the faces of other "Pulp Fiction" characters float in the sky. The background includes iconic American symbols such as the U.S. Capitol, the Statue of Liberty, an American flag, flying bald eagles, military jets, and fireworks, blending religious imagery with patriotic and cinematic elements.

This is great! 😂

He caused the grieving families a great deal of pain. He was found liable for defamation and infliction of emotional distress.

Tarantino movies are post-Jesus.

Don’t worry. NYC’s trademark piss smell isn’t going anywhere.

Or … some Americans have not been to NYC. Doesn’t make them morons.

Adams’ policy didn’t apply to large residential buildings. Mamdani’s policy expands it to include those.

Regardless of IQ, I think she’s just used to a life of privilege. She can’t fathom that policies designed to afflict marginalized people might afflict her. As part of the elite class, she expects GOP policies to help her, not hurt her.

I genuinely didn’t realize it was new news. I mean, I didn’t exactly remember it. But how can I be expected to remember all the deranged RFK Jr. wildlife incidents I’ve ever read about?

I had a dream a lot like that recently. It took me a little while after waking up to understand that it wasn’t real life. What a way to start the day. 😒

RFK Jr.’s family has endured enough tragedy (including being related to a roadkill-aroused sociopath). Hands off! I want to see his cousin, who just lost a sister to cancer a few months ago, win his congressional race. 🤞

She’s a she on everything else, down to her birth certificate. And she’s never had a problem with ID — until Trump’s EO. But she doesn’t blame him?

She seems to think the White House didn’t understand the real-life implications of the policy.

Spoiler: It did.

She renewed.

She thought it was a mistake and went through the appropriate process to correct it. But it wasn’t a mistake.

She claims Trump isn’t the problem; the EO was just rushed without consideration for the harm it could cause.

How does she not understand that the harm is the point?

Last time I had that experience, the last two chapters were the best part, so I’m glad I stuck with it.

👏👏👏

I’ve blocked a couple of FCC experts/know-it-alls because they were unkind and refused to engage in a real dialogue. I don’t need that, especially when I don’t know if they’re just armchair experts.

But this guy? He’s simply refusing to hear facts about why his proposal isn’t viable.

Frustration with the polarized media. Desperation for a solution. Limited grasp of 1A freedoms — which I think is understandable because, frankly, the 1A is weird! What might seem like reasonable limits on speech (limits other democracies impose) are not permitted in the U.S.

Until now. lol

It was very controversial, and the fact that it applied only to broadcast was the reason the courts ruled it constitutional. Amending it to include cable wouldn’t have been politically popular, for one thing, and wouldn’t have passed muster with the First Amendment.

The fairness doctrine didn’t exactly do that. And it wouldn’t have applied to Fox News anyway.

That Fox News case was interesting though. But it was specifically about defamation.

... These three principles used to be prominent on the FCC's website. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised that they no longer are. Heaven forbid the Trump regime include the word "diversity" on government websites.

... I mentioned the cross-ownership rule earlier because these principles, particularly diversity (of viewpoints and owners) was crucial to the justification for the rule and also an important factor in efforts to kill the rule (the Prometheus cases). ...

... I'm sure you know that diversity, localism and competition are the three principles that guide FCC policymaking. This has been true since the Communications Act of 1934, and it was reinforced in the Telecommunications Act of 1996. ...

It's clear you have more knowledge than I do about details of FCC policies and operations. But your claim that diversity is not within the purview of the FCC makes me curious about the extent of your expertise. ...

The First Amendment does not forbid media regulation. It prohibits the government from abridging press freedom; it doesn’t prohibit the government from supporting press freedom. There is a lot more the govt could do to support a free press without infringing on the 1A.

The U.S. govt is very hands-off with the press compared to most countries. And you know where it ranks for press freedom? 57th! It’s very low, largely because profit motive compromises freedom.

It’s Norway. You think Norway has no press regulation? It uses regulation to support press freedom (via the Norwegian Media Authority).
