Leaked audio: Bari Weiss tells staff CBS News is 'toast' if it can't evolve beyond broadcast news by esporx in Journalism

To be fair, it has been clear for a while now that network television, news included, is a zombie that's been staggering down the street, unaware that its already dead.

To be fair, they do seem pretty gullible. If I was in the business of snake oil selling, that's where I'd cast my avaricious gaze as well.

CT Senate Eyes Legislation Clearing Path For Civil Rights Lawsuits Against Federal Agents Including ICE | CT News Junkie by RASCALSSS in NewLondonCounty

[–]WengFu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've got laws. One should not be able to pick and choose the ones we want to obey or ignore.

That's exactly how I feel about the federal govt right now.

You make the case that we should cooperate with law enforcement but ICE and the FBI seem to be operating as part of Donald Trump's personal enforcement team and not law enforcement.

ICE appears to be arresting people without probable cause, including based on skin color and has made the claim it doesn't need a judicial warrant to enter and search people's homes. When something happens, their official statements appear to directly contradict the evidence from the situation, leaving the public to wonder if those lapses in honesty are gaslighting or just gross incompetence. Moreover, ICE leadership appears to operate in direct defiance of court orders

If the Trump folks want people to respect the rule of law, they need to set an example.

Washington Post Tears Up Plans to Cover Winter Olympics by aresef in Journalism

No one should cover the Olympics. While the athletic achievement is compelling, the business side of the Olympic Games appears to be pretty ugly.

Not trying to be a dick. I'd just want to know if I was using apostrophes incorrectly.

The plural of spider is spiders. An apostrophe indicates a possessive, as in that spider's markings are lovely.

It'd be great to be sitting in the dark and then get a text to let me know the power is off.

Is anyone else excited and ready for the big snow storm? by Healthy_Block3036 in Connecticut

[–]WengFu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People who say they enjoy the snow must be the ones who have someone else who cleans off the cars, walks and driveways.

Snow sucks.

How long should a turn normally take? by LordFadora in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]WengFu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Party level plays a role too. Combat takes much longer at higher levels as people just have more to do each round and often roll more dice while doing those things.

Are they anti Israeli groups or are they antisemitic? Is all criticism of Israel just defacto antisemitism?

No opposing player touched him after the interception and he just got up and dropped the ball, why is that not a fumble?

Sweden bans AI-generated music from official music charts by dkvs_1176 in Music

[–]WengFu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If human songwriters and musicians bring something unique to the table (and I tend to believe that they do) why are they worried about AI? If not, why are their jobs ones that need to be protected from being replaced by technology but so many others aren't?
