Fox News is getting FINED for withholding documents and information in the Dominion case — but this is just the beginning.

Fox’s lawyers potentially violated their “duty of candor” to the court.

They can be disbarred.

Remarkably, Musk seems to make even less sense than Trump most of the time.

On April 19, 1927, American #actress Mae West was sentenced to 10 days in jail, convicted of obscenity and “corrupting the morals of youth” with her portrayal of a prostitute in the Broadway play 'Sex,' which she also wrote; the publicity made her nationally known.

So according to #DoutFord a building shouldn't be expected to last 52 years and it's time to tear it down. Like, I wonder what he thinks of Queen's Park, or City Hall, or a lot of the older bank towers on Bay Street, some of whom date back to the 1970s? In the real world what adults do is maintain buildings. The #OntarioScienceCenter was a great building, it just needed a budget for programs and it needed some repairs. It has a history that matters to people. #onpoli

$787.5 M Isn’t enough.

Nobody likes government workers. But we all rely on the work they do. That's a pretty big contradiction.

The misuse and devaluation of public sector work is exactly why public sector work has a bad reputation.

Who wants to work somewhere that everyone else considers second or third rate?

There are absolutely amazing people working in the public sector. But the public sector also regularly loses its most amazing people because there's more interesting and way better paying work elsewhere.

🇺🇸🇺🇦US announces new $325 million military aid package for Ukraine, – Pentagon. This will include additional ammunition for HIMARS, artillery shells, small arms ammo, and more. The package is part of the President's Arms Reduction Initiative, which allows the US leader to transfer weapons from US stockpiles in emergency situations.

@gemelliz @Tomthndsh Doug Ford will 1000% attempt to demolish the Toronto reference library and sell the land for condos. His move against the science centre has revealed (again) there are no limits at all to the venality of this government. No institutions are safe, everything is for sale. It's a certainty that plans are already underway.

Time spent out in nature is always time well spent. One of my favorite things to photograph is waterfalls. This is one right outside Maggie Valley NC

Indeed my report message went something like "I doubt you're going to do anything, but this guy is a fascist, pushing fascist propaganda on randos; all you have to do is look at the timeline to see it. You're GOING to ban this guy sooner or later, so why not start now?"

I expected nothing.

Well, as of this morning, that guy isn't in my block list - because his account got nuked.

Well played Social, I didn't think you had it in you.

I don’t want to see anyone upset, suffering or depressed. I wish everyone success, happiness and fulfillment in life.

But a few people are positive and upbeat on a level that’s just.. and it’s like, wow. I read one post, and already I’m disoriented and drained. Like OK, now I need to take a step back, lie down, listen to antidotal music like Tool or early John S. Hall, think very dark thoughts like… what if Bernie was actually a supervillain who hasn’t revealed his true face AND WHERE IS BATMAN

So, I sent a report to Mastodon last night about some zero follower fascist trolling my replies (and some of my friends' replies) with the typical "just asking questions" bullshit - stuff like "why do you lefties hate it when Black people show agency and leave your ideological plantation" - obvious nazi shit but the sort of thing that ABSOLUTELY gets hand waved online as marginalized people taking shit too personally.

I just want to live in a world where I don’t have to say “What the fuck is wrong with people?” every time I leave my house.

By the way, for anyone still on twitter: The new privacy policy allows Elon to train AI on anything you post there, including text AND pictures.

So if I were an artist I'd get the hell off there, because legally you don't have a leg to stand on.
