Pips , to news in House Expels George Santos From Congress

Games and alternative media formats for journalists have always been a part of journalism. I’m not sure how embracing modern technology makes them any less of a news organization. Would you prefer only the crossword and only in print?

A newspaper having a word game, a radio presence, and publishing books is not really a gotcha.

Pips , (edited ) to news in Montana's first-in-the-nation ban on TikTok blocked by judge who says it's unconstitutional

Nothing, it’s not about what they’re doing but who’s doing it and why. Americans tend to forget that our individual votes do have global consequences in a way that no one else in the world’s votes do. Google and Meta don’t care about any message specifically, they care about engagement with their platforms and how that translates into revenue. But TikTok is not a private company like Google or Meta, it’s almost certainly controlled by a state actor: the Chinese government.

China cares about engagement only to the degree that it spreads a message that in turn promotes their worldview and political agenda. And the best way to spread their agenda is engaging with Americans because, again, the things we decide on a micro level can have insane global consequences on a macro level that no other country can match. That’s not to say China is solely focused on Americans, TikTok is obviously in more than two countries, but it’s why the federal government in America is concerned. States tend to hate it when other states influence their citizenry, and America, having much experience fucking with other countries’ citizens, is no exception. There’s obvious First Amendment concerns, after all, there’s nothing immediately illegal about agreeing with China, but that gets balanced against safety and fraud for their influence campaign, for lack of a better word.

So basically, Google and Meta only care about money. When Meta causes a genocide, it’s due to reckless disregard but they don’t want or really even care about the geopolitical event except to the degree it hurts their bottom line. China doesn’t care as much about the money, they care about influencing geopolitics.

The US? We do grow sugar. But many farms in America hire child laborers. This isn’t solely a problem with imported agricultural goods.

Pips , to news in Dr. Henry Kissinger Dies at Age 100

This quote is about never wishing a man dead. Clarence Darrow was a famous late 19th to early 20th century litigator who vehemently opposed the death penalty. He’d never wish anyone dead, he’s fundamentally opposed to death as a punishment, but that doesn’t mean he’s sad when a bad person dies.

Haven’t seen any mention of it, but Keith Urban was born in New Zealand so maybe? Urban is a pretty common surname.

Pips , to technology in The Washington Post Will Pause Its Advertising on X

It’s traditionally conservative but more frequently has been endorseing candidates left of center since the right wing is batshit. They overall supported Obama, but frankly Obama is about as centrist as they come. There was a very long stint in the 00s and 10s where they would publish more conservative, hawkish pieces over any news to the contrary.

Pips , to news in School Hate Crime: Racist Kid Yells “N Word” While Attacking Black Girl, Breaks Her Nose And Hospitalizes Her. Black Girl Gets Suspended

Fascinatingly, this isn’t a soccer game and if it wre, under FIFA rules there’s an investigation and severe penalties, up to and including a ban from the sport plus fines/restitution for racism. But in 2023, a person yelling slurs and coming at you with animosity in a school is an immediate and potential life a threatening issue. It’s not a game.

Pips , to showerthoughts in Applicants probably spend more time skimming job openings than Managers spend skimming through CVs

Small correction, most people have Thursday off. They have to take leave if they want Wednesday and Friday as well.

Pips , to technology in Apple’s China ties under Congressional scrutiny after Jon Stewart cancellation | Lawmakers demand that Apple commit to not censoring content critical of China.

Not a TV show specifically, but Ai Weiwei’s gallery exhibition in London was canceled due to a tweet he posted regarding the Hamas attack and Israel. Whatever you feel about their specific comments or circumstances, several individuals and events have been affected due to an actual or perceived pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel message.
