Sounds like a great idea.

It’s fucking there.

OK, I have an idea for a new TV show.

Let’s form a club of boomer, anti-democratic, rightwing-extremist, power hungry narcissists, and invite them to a private island and have them get stranded there because the flight authority botched traffic control (due to budget cuts, obviously).

Record it in the style of a reality TV show.

The US is a rogue state.

Matches the tone of the publications.

"ProPublica has identified three lawyers with elite establishment credentials who have also joined the DOGE effort.

Two are former Supreme Court clerks — one clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts, another for Justice Neil Gorsuch — and the third has been selected to be a Gorsuch clerk for the 2025-2026 term."

Clerks of the same Supreme Court Judges that issued the immunity ruling.

The Heritage foundation has ties to Orbán.

“[a] formal agreement struck last year [2023] between a think tank funded by Orbán’s Fidesz Party, the Danube Institute, and The Heritage Foundation…”

The Great 1929 Recession boosted conservatives.

The argument that climate catastrophe can’t sustain enough economic growth seems like it’s missing the forest for the trees.

US will make a stupid move, Russia will make a stupid move, China will make a stupid move.

I shudder to imagine all of the companies that license their consumer data databases, as well as the “insights” that consultant-types extract from them (and who their clients are),

Foreigners don’t have political rights by definition. This is something that should be enforced to the last consequences.

Headline is 10/10.

It’s a good thing then that wealth isn’t associated with sociopathy and lack compassion.

Not only governance suffers.

Entertain me for a moment. Imagine a utopia in which you don’t need to distrust technology or guard yourself against the companies that control it. No data harvesting or sharing; your privacy, likes and preferences safe and your own. No schemes to come up with algorithms that enrage you and dominate your attention. Imagine that you could trust LLMs to be trained with only the best, curated sources and where their operation is completely open and transparent. Imagine how we would express ourselves through our tech and through social media. Technology would become deeply, deeply personal, benign, helpful and at the service of humankind… as it should be.

The idea is so crazy that it is borderline unthinkable, right?

No need for arms. Already being invaded by welthy gentrifying from the North. Most locals can’t afford coastal properties any longer.

Is it possible to block an entire domain from your feed in Lemmy? Say, like NewsWeek?

You could, maybe, try to make the argument that the use of the term “pro-business” is not meant in a laudatory sense. However, I find even this to be a stretch and, especially, if the article is written for an international audience.

They could have well framed the article around the the multiple controversies surrounding these characters. Heck, Mulino (who is standing in for Panama’s criminally condemned former President), is said to visit Cuba with certain frequency or, at the very least, uses a private jet that does.

Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.*
