With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

Just getting round to finishing Silo season 3 (kids make it hard to watch heavy dramas with any regularity). I am not sure there is a better show out there. So damn good! If you haven’t watched it, grab the free AppleTV preview and binge that shit!

This “game” on the White House website, a version of Snake where you play as a white man in a suit and you run around picking up identifiably black, Asian, and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits, might be the most openly white supremacist thing I’ve ever seen the US government produce

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Personally, I don't believe the President has the power to change the catapults or the command center on aircraft carriers. There's a whole structure of statutes, regulations, rules, and procedures by which this was done. His duty is to "take care" the laws be executed, he can't just say "nuh uh."

If ticket prices actually matched inflation, Disney would be $64 today instead of $119. An average concert ticket would be $55 instead of $135. Funny how that works. Almost like monopolies and corporate greed are just making up prices to hoard more of our hard earned money.
