His potential re-election is both obvious and concerning.
A celebrity with no formal education or experience in politics, geopolitics or law has no place speaking on it to the public. Opinions are fine, but people on the whole seem to be unable to make clear in their own minds that the opinions of a celebrity are opinions wholly based on their personal purview and not professional experience.
At what point are these fucking conglomerates to god damn big?
Or the theory, given how many meetings Epstein had with the former PM of isreal, that he was working for Mossad/CIA to create a large honeypot/blackmail ring of highly influential people and politicians.

2d means no consent necessary and no worries beyond artist mistreatment or underpayment by the publisher.
Which is a molehill compared to the mountain of issues in the actual sex work industry.
I don’t disagree that quality journalism exists, however I would posit that current day journalists have more incentive to cover nonsense like the current topic as opposed to serious issues like tax avoidance from billionaires or inappropriate gifts, travel and monetary donations to various individuals in power (and their backing bodies) from multinational corporations and their associated c-suites. A key issue of note is the increasing rate over the last few years in which individuals with journalistic integrity are being shunted aside or outright murdered, or imprisoned, for their investigations into such things (kashoggi being one of the largest international examples of this, but I would posit the majority of individuals that work for the ICIJ would fall under that umbrella as well, seeing as a number of them have been murdered in recent years, which in my opinion deters serious journalism that holds those elected to account)
I would also note that the international nature of corrupt banking and the intertwining of banking interests with military industrial interests creates a system of active suppression and aversion.
Especially given the inherent need for local journalists to travel abroad to unfavourable countries to get answers from multinational companies alleged to be engaged in nefarious actions whether directly or within their supply chains.
This quote from the official inquiry regarding the murder of Daphne Galizia is particularly chilling in my opinion:
“The fact remains that in the board’s opinion, Daphne Caruana Galizia’s writing about the intimacy between big business and politics led to her assassination.”

Specifically murder in relation to their investigations. You’ll notice a trend between terror and banking crisis years and increase of journalist murders. 2023 was lower but appears to be an outlier, here’s hoping the 2023 trend continues:

(cpj.org is a pretty decent resource for keeping up to date on the amount of missing/imprisoned/killed journalists worldwide)
ICIJ link because I think they do good work:
Ground news link to assist with sifting through biased articles (I’m guessing more people are aware of this, but I have found it particularly useful these days with certain organizations choosing to omit facts or present an incomplete scenario to push a narrative)
Obviously it isn’t new, but it’s important to point out so people can acknowledge it and work to avoid engaging in it in the future. Periodically engaging in this content is fine, that’s why we had tabloids, but old companies that specifically worked in journalism that have been bought and re-aligned with tabloid-esque behaviour is because we are willing to click on it.
A few less clicks and more reflection on the things we click can go a long way, in my opinion.
Same, but even our interest in other peoples views on the topic at hand contributes to the superficial topic getting more views
This representative should’ve been aborted
Everyone that clicked on this article please be aware that we are the problem behind why news agencies don’t cover real news anymore.

Engineers at tesla do great work. Elon is a completely incompetent moron who has no fucking idea what he’s talking about, please stop using what he says as ‘gospel’ for what the company and its products can and can not do.
The literal only reason he’s CEO of tesla right now is because he fucking bought the position
The easiest way to deal with this complete dumbfuckery is to abolish gendered bathrooms and add full wall to ceiling stalls with locked doors.
Please shut the fuck up about this there are real problems to deal with

Has this “journalist” been in a coma since twitters purchase? One of the first things done was the removal of ‘elonjet’ and a plethora of elon critics
The concept and implementation of TPM use has been a joke since inception.

The irony of you saying I am the one being pedantic is seriously hilarious.
You should probably work on your reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.
The entire premise of your argument is ‘only criminals use this tool’ or ‘the majority of users of this tool are criminals’ when that is fundamentally and objectively incorrect.
You clearly lack any serious experience in computer science, let alone cybersecurity, and it shows.
A tool is just that, a tool.
Just because what you consider immoral or moral individuals use it doesn’t change the inherent nature of the tool to be used for specific circumstances. You’ll also notice I didn’t put any deterministic language when describing a penetration tester, because regardless of what side of the law they’re on they’re still cybersecurity professionals, it’s just that one side happens to pay better.
A knife can be used to dissect as well as it can be used to mutilate or even vivisect. How a tool is used is determined by the user not the creator.
Complaining that a few people use the item for nefarious purposes when the majority of problematic cases are issues at the developer level for the items being affected (i.e. vehicles) is extremely short sighted. Are you going to restrict all PC’s because they can be used for network intrusion?
Are you going to limit access to the internet because the freely available information can teach anyone to create a dirty bomb?
The premise of your outlook is inherently erroneous in my opinion.
Sure, just opt away from anything that’s created by artists and you’re good.
However I was specifically positing an option outside of the sex work industry that doesn’t have a significant history of drug abuse, sexual abuse, worker abuse, and overall unhealthy precedents.
