FB has more money than god and any stupid "stop censoring racism" EO will be tied up in court until the end of the trump admin so I really dont understand the point in zuck cozying upto trump. Isn't FB basically turning into a platform for mad boomers now? That's a lotta Trump/Zuck crossover right there. Plus he might be gearing up to buy another massive chunk of the internet real estate and needs to suck some government dick to waive the antitrust.

I am sure there are higher ups at Facebook (possibly the Zuck humself) jealous of the amount of exposure Twitter gets through Trump and want to get in on that, if only marginally. Facebook doesn't exactly need more exposure, but when you have every other news story name-dropping your company, it still helps your brand a heck of a lot.

One of the poetic ironies of our recent history is that Rep. Adam Schiff replaced Jim Rogan in 2000. Jim Rogan was one of the 13 House Members chosen to present the case for impeaching Clinton to the Senate in 1998.

Yea all the people complaining that the testimony is boring better hold onto their assholes, she really isn't going to take any stupid poo poo that the Republicans keep trying. If you read any of her released deposition, she blows their stupid poo poo out of the water, hard. It is clear that she really understands and cares about the potential damage having people believe this stupid conspiracy crap, and isn't afraid to speak up and do so eloquently.

But then again, I think Instagram is incredibly popular and that's owned by Facebook. It is owned by Facebook. Facebook is however terrified that a democratic administration would force them to split it off, or at the very least force them to completely compartmentalize the user data they Hoover up on both platforms. Fun story, I tried to sign up for Instagram a year or so ago and the account was immediately frozen. They demanded a picture of my photo ID to unlock it.

"What they are doing is not legal. But I’m clean, and when I release my financial statement (my decision) sometime prior to Election, it will only show one thing - that I am much richer than people even thought - And that is a good thing. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!" Totally what a normal, not-guilty person would say.

Trump's pick for NOAA administrator just withdrew. Barry Myers was CEO of AccuWeather and had a long history (working with Rick Santorum) of trying to block NOAA from releasing its forecasts publicly, so that AccuWeather could sell them instead.

Unfortunately for a ton of Americans, Facebook has basically replaced systems like Craigslist (which arguably replaced newspaper classifieds) for buying/selling used goods in a lot of areas. Family members of mine who don’t have a lot of money keep an active Facebook account specifically for their yard sale sections in case an appliance craps the bed. Like it or not, it’s worked it’s tentacles into small-town America and even some career paths have become dependent on Facebook for things like temp work. It’s why I never criticize people for keeping an account because for all I know their income (or savings) depends on it. This is why the Dems need to win the next election and start putting strong regulations in place, or ideally nationalize Facebook in the US, to ensure their fuckery is kept to an absolute minimum. Edit: Jesus, that NOAA admin guy withdrawing is a huge help for the people of the United States. Privatizing weather emergency reporting would be a guaranteed way to up body counts when it comes to poo poo like tornadoes.

ImpAtom posted:Dear Donald Trump: Yeah, I fix phones for a living, and I usually make a test call on repaired phones to verify the ear speaker and proximity sensor are seated right and working. Our store recording is a normal volume, but when everything is working right I can hear it a good few feet from the phone. Even farther if it's a newer phone that uses the ear speaker for stereo sound. If someone is super loud, you can hear it from across the room unless the person turns down their phone. Which I image most people don't do in case the other person quiets down.
