US Press aren't high profile by virtue of being American. An individual American journalist is nothing in the eyes of the public. If they shot and killed someone like Anderson Cooper, that's a big story. Random journalist from ABC News? Would barely make a splash.

Nah, low chance she gets purposefully killed by Israel, she's way too high profile and white for that to happen.

If she were a low level journalist or middle-eastern, she's a goner, but she's wrapped in enough privilege to make it politically non-viable to kill her.

Yeah and now that certain companies run the risk of getting flattened into the ground by Trump, only those companies that actually gave a shit continue to support Pride.

It is easier than it's ever been to host your own website. You could have what most personal websites were like in the 00s without ever once coming out of the free tier in Azure. Domains are still gonna cost you, but actual hosting is pennies.

You can't even get regulatory bodies to have an RSS feed. In my last job I was really annoyed because the only way you could figure out if the EU had changed their chemical regulations is by being in either a very specific LinkedIn group or just checking their website again and again.

It's hard to write software for regulatory compliance when the regulations and data schema change seemingly at random.

I didn't subscribe to HBO when Game of Thrones was airing, I'm not about to start now.

Last time she talked about Harry Potter on Twitter, she told everyone that wizards just used to shit themselves until someone invented the toilet.

I'm not gonna congratulate Canada on not completely shitting the bed. The Canadians were going to vote in a Trump-like conservative until Trump started banging on about Canada being the 51st state. If Trump kept his mouth shut, it would have been curtains for the Liberal party.

Canadians did not vote for the Liberals based on their record or policies, they voted to tell Trump to fuck off. The moment Trump is no longer a threat, the unity dies and everything swings back to the Conservatives, which isn't a good thing.

I'm not sure why anyone would ever buy Reddit stock. There is no money to be made in Reddit. They failed to make any money before they went public, and they're failing to make any money now.

They tried the whole NFT thing, failed. They're trying to sell the data to AI companies but once that's sold they can't sell any more of it because the benefit of Reddit data was historical data unpolluted by AI, but new Reddit data is polluted by ChatGPT posts and is therefore worth less.

It's not even about banning people, it's about the fact that Reddit was never a sustainable business model from the start, at least not in the traditional capitalist sense where you're actively trying to make a profit to please shareholders.

The only benefit to owning Reddit stock is if you have voting shares and can manipulate the algorithm to benefit you in some way. Suppress some voices, amplify others to back what you want to do etc. but you need money to burn in order to achieve that because you aren't going to be making money directly by owning Reddit stock and manipulating public opinion takes time.
