"If confirmed, she would give the Democrats a majority at the FCC that would enable them to impose a radical left-wing agenda, including investment-killing and job-killing so-called net neutrality rules, otherwise known as Obamacare for the Internet" Cruz said.

This probably won't work despite the clear language in the Constitution. They are asking very small numbers of people, sometimes singular people in the case of secretaries of state, to disqualify the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination from even being on a state ballot. They would likely be ending their careers and putting themselves and their families at tremendous ongoing risk. That kind of behavior from his supporters is kind of why he should be disqualified in the first place, to be fair, but a huge part of the country truly believes it wasn't an insurrection at all. This includes people with tremendous power and influence, and also a lot of people with guns and a propensity toward violence.

The battle of crait from the last Jedi with the red salt was visually stunning and doesn't really get much credit.

The last line of that trump tweet in the article was super risky coming from the guy that once tweeted "covfefe."

They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!

What software would non-apple manufacturers use other than android?

This isn't about breaking laws, it's about breaching ethical standards. Federal judges all agree to a code of ethics as a condition of being on the bench. SCOTUS justices weirdly do NOT agree to a code of ethics. The controversy is that we are learning about a ton of stuff that is plainly unethical under the standards federal judges agree to, but SCOTUS is technically untouchable. Democrats are advancing legislation to force them to agree to ethical standards, but SCOTUS is arguing that Congress doesn't have the power to force them. They are also unwilling to voluntarily agree to a standard of ethics for obvious reasons.

Video game channel with absolutely top tier writing, production, and presentation that stacks up against the biggest channels out there, but it's from a team of only 2 people. The host is super likeable and entertaining. No low effort click bait videos. Criminally underrated with only 330k subscribers. I know that's still a lot, but they easily have 1m+ sub potential.

The "punching weight" series about ambitious and wacky titles/peripherals are my favorite. They also have some super well researched video game history videos that are great.

Federation is a fresh idea in the social media realm. Not chronologically, obviously (sorry mastodon), but fresh in the sense that it has buzz and momentum now that it hasn't really had before as a direct result of the "staleness" associated with data collection, advertising, and corporate greed by the big players. There are no fresh ideas from meta, Twitter, and tiktok because their goals are stale. Bluesky is very buzzworthy, and if they can build out and scale up fast enough they have a chance.
