ah fuck, he did a hilarious thing. now add USA state affiliated media to CNN. DO IT.
DO IT. In fact just change the ukraine state affiliated media to US state affiliated media.
blows smoke off posting revolvers Fastest gun in the west, pardner yehaw! :chavez-guns:
Excuse I lost my posting revolver how do I sign up for a replacement?
whips open jacket like the merchant in resident evil 4 pick what you like pardner, yeeeehaw!!
Soon I'll be the rootinest, tootinest corgi in the west :cowboy-cri: thank you pardner
It’s fucking baffling to me that NPR and BBC somehow avoid the state-affiliated media tag. Like, we should be putting it on NYT and CNN and shit like that too, but NPR and BBC are literally state sponsored media
Great mental image, a giant katamari-like assemblage of oil-tar, rusty weapons and rotten pustules, with the faces of various natsec ghouls sliding to the surface one by one. It is inexorably slinking towards you, crushing people in its way, haunting moans asking for more funding. :blob-stabby:
I just cannot fathom what criteria besides “Fuck you shut up” they could even be claiming to use where the BBC isn’t state affiliated media. I’ve seen before that their claim is “we don’t put it on orgs that have editorial independence” but BBC is in no way editorially independent from the government, even less so than NPR.
I know that “fuck you shut up” is the real criteria but holy shit it’s so blatant
It is an well-believed lie in the UK that the BBC is editorially independent, because they (and the government) constantly say they are.
Never mind the government ministers that literally sit on the boards that make editorial decisions. Plus the massive restrictions on their editorialism by the law. Plus the way the government can leverage any outcome they want by threatening to withhold their funding.
Wonder if any of the bluechecks had a moment of reflection about 'state media' because of this
Who am I kidding, their thoughts on it did not extend past their reading the new tag and immediately thinking "Elon did this because he loves Russia" or w/e
You don't got to hand it to him, but this is kinda funny in a vacuum ngl.
I'm just sitting back and enjoying the spectacle. Sure, the nuclear plant is on fire and we're being bombarded by deadly radiation, but that iridescent burning nuclear core material sure is pretty.
Sitting at the edge of a nuclear warhead crater, looking down mirthfully at a couple of preppers facing off in the mud,
neither one daring to draw their meticulously cared-for firearms, each one reminding the other that to shoot is to violate the non-aggression principle,
while both have dreamt dearly of being the lone gunslinger in a western all their lives.
He's messing with the CIA's current pet project. Let's hope they give him the ol' Obama talk.
Sitting him down and telling him that if he changes too much he'll be JFK'd.
AFAIK he had a fallout with dems when he "announced" his "heel turn", presumably because the grant machine broke, and is favoring the republican trump base because he thinks he has a better chance of mooching public resources from that angle, and the trump base is anti-war in Ukraine (but pro war in China)
I interpreted that particular heel turn as a distraction from his latest sexual harassment case. The one where he offered a woman a horse. It was so he could claim there was an organized liberal agenda or something against him.
Lots of influencing figures are learning they can just claim to be conservative when there's any amount of public or media scrutiny.
Both can be true! He was leaning republican already but made a big show about it to distract from the horse incident.
Taiwan economically integrating with China.
Yeah that's a best case scenario for businesses who depend on chinese manufacturing, but that completely depends on the PRC and ROC cooling off after Pelosi shat all over the region, guess that's part of where Musks's animosity towards the dems is coming from.
That's already been happening for a while. Direct cross-strait flights were a big deal when they happened. Before that you had to fly all the way down to Hong Kong and change planes.
Narcissism and Bazinga brainworms would be my guess. That, or there are parts of the capitalist class that is not impressed with the blob's handling of foreign politics and they're pushing back on this latest misadventure in the making.
Elites have disagreements among themselves all the time. A lot of them are very dissatisfied by the extremists running the Ukraine project. If the GOP wins next week, it's open season on the blob. They can cut off funding for the war. They can also use the power of subpoena to investigate crimes, starting with the Bidens. Hunter was on the board of directors of Burisma, Ukraine's energy giant, for no reason other than he was Dementia Joe's failson.

It was pretty wild watching all the libs roll there eyes at you when you'd suggest that the Vice President and now President's son having a sinecure nepotism position on the state energy company board of a country that the President is actively meddling in is some kind of dangerous, compromising corruption.
"How much is Putin paying you to say that?"
You know you've made a solid point when that's their only argument.
These sanctions, proxy war, and cold war on China are fucking a lot of very rich people up, and have probably bumped a lot of disgustingly rich people into just extremely rich. Just talking out my ass, I don't think capital is happy about US foreign policy if they don't have their finger in the weapons pie.
LOL I knew this would be funny in the apocalyptic clown show kind of way.
What are they complaining about? They get the same happy little thumbs up icon next to the tag as everyone else.
