Thanks!

I’m unfamiliar with this topic, which politicians/countries changed their laws?

I see though journalism in other countries than US and the standards seem way better.

No! Only cold dogs.

Kind of off topic, but what has happened to our journalism?

This essentially is article about a tweet and how others on twitter responded to it.

The amazing thing is that the disinformation managed to convince pro Palestine people that Harris was worse for Palestine than trump and at the same time pro Israeli that Harris is worse for Israel.

I think the point is that Elonia wasn’t running in an election.

Everyone is skeptical about this, and in the end they could be right, but we can’t deny that they are really trying.

I really hope that against all odds they somehow succeed.

I don’t watch him either, but you can’t deny that he is already very popular and had more viewers than show on TV.

I was ok with crypto and nft because it was up to me to decide if I want to get involved in it or not.

AI does seem to have impact at jobs, at least employers are trying to use it and see if it actually will allow them to hire less staff, I see that for SWE. I don’t think AI will do much there though.

But, but, but they want to sell as much of it as they can before the bubble bursts.

That’s even more tame, currently he was banning MAGA people for not agreeing with his stance on H1B.

I think putin just showed him that he can do what happened in Russia in 1990 and 2000 and get richer from stealing from the country.

I think it was more that he didn’t have the means. Propaganda was much harder before the Internet and social media.

Their success was that they combined their forces to win the election, but each of those grifters have different goals and many of them are incompatible.

I definitively don’t support whatever Banon is after, but I welcome the infighting.

They will still inflict damage to the US, but hopefully the infighting will make it much harder to consolidate their power and turn US into fascist state.

Yeah, his vision of peace was Israel getting rid of anyone who they don’t have good relationship with.

It still mattered. Republicans won on federal level (mainly due to a successful social media campaign) but there were also some good wins for Democrats on local levels.

Highly recommend “On Tyranny” book by Timothy Snyder.

I don’t know about others, but I hope maybe it is similar with others.

I stopped watching 24/7 channels, I no longer trust CNN. Washington Post and LA Times showed their colors during the election, showing exactly that the owners purchased them to manipulate readers’ opinion.

I since then set up recurring donations to ProPublica, local NPR station, I also found a local news paper that still seems to do local journalism. The rest I intend to rely on Lemmy and Reddit.

I stopped caring what trump is saying (he always lies) and instead intend to care about what he does. There are things that are out of my control, but intend to support any way I can politicians, judges, public employees and others that will fight him. And when it comes time to protest I intend to do my part.

I just don’t want to waste my energy on pointless BS that 24/7 news media was doing 2017-2020. If trump says he intends to take over Greenland why should I rile up about it and how can I change anything. It is likely a BS anyway to tire us up.

Also I highly recommend On Freedom: Twenty Lessons From the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder. This book was published in 2017 when he started his first term and outlines what things we should watch for and not let him do if we still want to have a democracy.

No surprise, the 24/7 news is purposefully is exhausting and most things they talk about are not worth paying attention to.

Instead we should ignore things he is saying and act on things that he actually does and never obey in advance.

Exactly, and we’re need to be extra careful when talking about any deal: https://youtu.be/MhpoNL1gZbw
