"The notion that CO2 is pollution is absolutely preposterous... The idea that [it's] going to destroy the planet or change the temperature of the Earth is totally ludicrous." "But from a totalitarian perspective, if you can convince people that CO2 is pollution, there's no human activity that doesn't result in CO2 emissions.." [dri]

Just to amplify the last entry: We started paying for pay-TV services so that we would not have to watch commercials, and could watch the original uncensored versions of movies.
Amazon and many other pay TV services now force you to watch commercials unless you pay even higher monthly fees, and now we're back to watching the same censored versions of movies we used to see on TBS.

Vandals: Amazon Prime cuts the key scenes in It's a Wonderful Life of George Bailey contemplating suicide
The whole plot of the movie concerns an angel's intervention, showing George what everyone's life would be like without him in it. If you cut the scenes of him thinking about exiting his life, then what is even the point of the movie?
Remember when we naively thought that Bezos and Amazon were generally on the right side of things? How absurd we were.
I re-watched The Name of the Rose this past year on Amazon and noticed that the semi-important scene of Christian Slater's character losing his virginity to a peasant girl were cut out. My thought was that Amazon must be using a cut of the movie shown on TV or something. I don't know if Amazon is aware it is running censored content, or if they're demanding these cuts, or seeking out versions of the film that remove politically-sensitive material. Whatever the reason, they should be ashamed and run the actual movies again. What is the point of any communications platform that engages in censorship?

Via Black Orchid, Nichole Shanahan's thoughts on the tech/H-1B debate
It is nice that we are actually permitted to debate actual policy questions again. You know, like the right guaranteed to Americans in the Constitution as our inalienable birthright, which we had until the past ten years of authoritarian tyranny by the Deep State and intelligence services.

Apparently they have two main copes: 1, Trump will not take office, due to "structural collapse" or a military coup against him, and 2, all Trump voters are crying because we already regret our votes. The first revelation: "Shady" (J.D.) Vance has turned "state's evidence" against Trump and he will be arrested and tried before the inauguration. Source: "a post by Kathy." Well! I didn't know you were in contact with Kathy! This changes everything!
Also, much of this "news" is provided either by "the spirits" or "ChatGPT," or one of these sources confirming the other.

Why didn't I think of that? Oh yeah-- because the last time I tried they locked me up on trumped-up morals charge. Dawn Eden, Petite Powerhouse, finds Planned Parenthood putting their filthy chocolate in the pliant peanut butter of innocent young minds, by using M&M's as an excuse for dirty-talk with children: Code: * Plain Brown = Health (either treatment or abstinence) * Plain Blue = Condoms or Dental Dams * Plain Green = Trichomoniasis * Plain Yellow = Gonorrhea * Plain Red = Chlamydia * Plain Orange = Syphilis * Peanut Green = HIV * Peanut Red = Hepatitis B * Peanut Orange = Herpes * Peanut Yellow = HPV Oy gevalt. I don't know if I'm bothered more by the sexualization of children or by the fact that apparently there are diagnosable retards able to get paying jobs in writing whereas I'm still working the counter at Kinko's. I especially liked this bit of cleverness: (Note that bacterial infections are represented by plain M&Ms and viral infections are represented by peanut M&Ms.) Very witty. And note that hydroencephalitis is represented by Smarties, and malignant goiters by Zero bars. posted by Ace at 03:56 AM Comments *Plain Pink = Gay Aids Posted by: Ron on November 2, 2004 07:56 AM Great. Now I'll never be able to eat another Zero bar. Posted by: Kerry on November 2, 2004 07:58 AM Here's an idea ... if kids aren't grown-up enough to know and use the ACTUAL names of the sexually transmitted diseases ... MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T BE HAVING SEX. I mean, what's next? A dancing Elmo that introduces this crap? I hate the Planned parenthood crowd -they don't want to teach kids that a baby's heart starts beating at 6 weeks -- because that goes against their "abortion for everyone" agenda.
