DMZ reviews stories in various mediums and interviews creatives. I’m trying to get back into it but it’s been a hard year. Latest interview: Raelke Grimmer, debut YA neurodivergent author who wrote a neurodivergent protag. DMZ content is free.
apparently the DOJ is “attempting” to withdraw charges against the Olympian they charged with vandalism because they know the pool wasn’t vandalised, the “renovation” was botched.

Dinosaurs, the Jim Henson puppet comedy, EVEN DID AN EPISODE ON TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS AND POLITICS. BP Richfield (Sinclair’s evil boss) said the people who own his political party also own the opposition, so he just had to get someone to oppose him who was so stupid that everyone would vote for him
GOOD NEWS. BOYCOTT AI AND ”CLOUD” SERVICES AND WE COULD END THE AI BOOM. Save on your devices, do NOT use the cloud. In the long run, an external hard drive is MUCH cheaper than ”cloud” storage.

Fact checked: Ari Melber really did say this. YouTube, The Beat. If you want the TLDR version, the transcript summarises this a couple of minutes in.
SafeWaterCleanAir 💦☮️🌏🌍🌎Ari Melber showed this today. There was also a reporter from the Wall Street Journal who did a story on Trump‘s shakedown of tens of $$MM from CEOs.

Sex workers in the prayer room at Parliament House - Tim Wilson’s workplace - used to be enough to destroy a politician’s career.

Mark Leibler apparently explicitly stated that opposing genocide is anti-Semitic. He says it is anti-Semitic to accuse Israel of ethnic cleansing while they’re killing Palestinians, Lebanese and Syrians and destroying their homes.

How much will Microsoft pay in damages for its outages, which seem to be increasingly frequent?
The New York TimesMicrosoft is hoping its aggressive spending on artificial intelligence is starting to translate into revenue. The company's profit for the quarter was $35.8 billion, up 31%.
Be polite but be firm: tell Provac Australia that racism is not acceptable. Tell them bullying is also not acceptable: they’re suing the woman who posted the video of Provac’s racism, a video taken on the road.
