Paramount / CBS gave Trump $16 million last year in preparation for the $110 billion merger uniting Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery on 6 October. Since last year CBS has been a mouthpiece for lies from the Whitehouse. Very few companies now own most US media.
Whatever you think CBS and monopolies were in 1964, or 1984, or 2024, they're much worse now, and I think that's new. There are lovely charts of the dramatic rise of income inequality in the US and worldwide in the past 40 years. The impact of that on us is worse than ever.

Everything is getting exponentially better and worse simultaneously.
Like a perfect storm.
Listening to BBC radio the other day - about protests, bombings, genocide, etc - and the wife said it's like a dystopian future is now.
scuffles is the new mostly peaceful.
