10/ Publications are businesses. They have no right to your money. And you have no right to their reporting. It’s all a matter of business models that create a mutual interest in working together. It’s understandable ( based on the history above ) but still silly to think that it’s an offense …

5/ important to bear in mind. Why are there so many paywalls now? There are two driving factors. The first is that for most of the first two decades of the 21st century, especially from ~2006 to 2018 the content was mostly free because it was being heavily subsidized by VC capital …

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."
