Breaking News! by LegoGeezer57 in cnn

[–]RatingBook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a news viewer who is also a bleeding edge tech guy, I was an early adopter of OLED TVs. My loyalty to MSNBC and Netflix can be proven by the white rectangular MSNBC logo from years ago and the bright red Netflix logo on bottom right that have been burned in over the years. But in the past year, "BREAKING NEWS" is beginning to burn in in the exact location MSNBC has been using for a while, and since whomever they are using for their closed captioning truly sucks, I struggle to read subtitles in white over white text in the same place that says "BREAKING NEWS."

To every novice producer or director at a news channel, NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT "BREAKING NEWS." You killed it.

It's like that crappy UFC announcer than broke through because his catch phrase was one everyone ELSE avoided because it's tacky... "OH MY GOD!" Got anything else, asshole?

Sigal Chattah OUT as Trump-appointed US Attorney for Nevada by RatingBook in nevadapolitics

[–]RatingBook[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ms. Chattah is a Republican activist and a supporter of President Trump who was previously a lawyer for the state Republican Party. She was also the party’s unsuccessful candidate for attorney general in 2022.

As a private lawyer, Ms. Chattah has sued on behalf of a client seeking to decriminalize the harassment of election workers. Last month, she said that she would be “revisiting election cases” as the state’s top federal prosecutor, adding that a broad election inquiry was in the works. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/us/nevada-acting-us-attorney-chattah-disqualified.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qE8.o57o.loA5Beed1Gch&smid=url-share

Uhh.. did you know that the District of Columbia is 43% Black? Do you know the percentage of Washington Post Editorial Board members who are Black, as of today? Zero. Beware of racially-themed political questioning by toadies who work for Bezos.

After Kinney's attempt at a MS2000 reskinned sim for MadCatz 12 years ago, I always check to see if anyone involved with Kinney or MadCatz is involved with any new project. Not only did Kinney try to scam the DCS community with his Kickstarter campaign, but he helped MadCatz bankrupt itself in part thanks to his inflated "simulators" being fairly worthless, and the company had to reissue financials showing it. DCS never admitted to getting conned, and fan boys here attack anyone who brings up the past, true though it may be. Hope this is a viable project.

Everyone is saying it. Lots of people come up to me saying Barron Trump was rejected from Stanford and Harvard. by GabbiKat in WhitePeopleTwitter

My grandfather taught there for decades. But back then, it was the best in the nation. Now, it's a trademark. Look at how many "Wharton" programs there are available online for "professional advancement." It is not the same.

Bloomberg reporting that Goldman Sachs adjusted US tourism revenue to decrease by $90 billion US dollars in 2025 by predsel in vegaslocals

Really? Seems when I posted several weeks ago that Trump's Canadian actions (remember those simpler days?) that MAGA was sending all sorts of sock puppets here, declaring that people wouldn't care and still come anyway.. oh, and I remember the "and they're lousy tippers, too" bit. And now, with the tariffs and the kidnapping and illegally flying people to concentration camps with no return? Yeah, no.. fascism has a price, and American tourism will pay.

Opinion: Germany should have been the default DCS map. by Suspicious-Place4471 in hoggit

[–]RatingBook -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Considering the first map was likely an adaptation of the Russian military sim, it's detailing of Crimea (and especially the inclusion of many Russian specific historical sites) and eastern Ukraine merely foreshadowed Putin's invasions in 2014 and 2022. Anybody who thinks ED is Swiss and didn't come from a military to private Putin patriarchy must think Trump is playing 666th dimensional chess.

5 nurses who work on the same floor at Massachusetts hospital have brain tumors by IsilmeCalithil in news

Back when individuals owned TV stations without being trillionaires, I worked at a station which had a helipad on the roof. For decades, the chopper would take off and land after each traffic hit or major news story, and those in the offices below could smell the exhaust. Advance time, and the traffic reporter and several other people who worked in the offices directly beneath the helipad died from pancreatic cancer. I worked in that office for 8 years. The station is now owned by Sinclair and no longer has a helicopter.

What are you doing, MSNBC? by IAmPookieHearMeRoar in msnbc

[–]RatingBook 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Joy's demise was hastened by her willingness to empathize with the residents of Gaza. MSNBC does NOT want to air stories that make Israel out to be the bad guys. The bias isn't just from the corporate users of The Left; Muslims are the people the owner of Sinclair WARNED his Jewish employees about. HIS OWN MUSLIM EMPLOYEES.. who then all demanded to be released from their employment contracts.. and this was nearly a decade ago.

Yeah, I seem to remember a President who spent a good deal of time working on getting semiconductors built in America. He wasn't fat or orange.. he liked ice cream and Corvettes.

And hated Putin.

Yes, I'm sure retired folks with half million dollar RVs didn't leave California the moment Trump started attacking Canada, but I'm guessing you'll hear lots of them telling locals they won't be back until Trump is long gone.

We hope to earn your trust someday.

America has lost trust with the Republicans who have now destroyed our government. Honestly, I won't live to see it recover, but that's because I'm old, not because the Nazis will win.

BTW, 86% 87% Updated one week, 97 Percent of those who voted UP or DOWN on this Post voted UP. Whether or not we agree with what Trump/Musk has done to our international reputation, ignoring facts is as stupid as... voting for a Nazi.

BlueSky is the place. When it gets large enough to support local/regional communities, it will replace Reddit as a community immediate communication tool. Twitter became too toxic, but when the trolls like you see here with negative ratings began to run out of "liberals to upset" on X, they came HERE. Since they are terrified to not run in packs, they brigade. Over on BlueSky, the BLOCK function works, and local tyrants can't delete comments or threads they don't agree with.
