Only reason I started to use Twitter was for Musk

But the Twitter culture claimed him and now I just get depressed if I go on it because of how much the media distracts him because of it

Aah yeah, I like Musk, to bad he’s being hounded.

He should delete Twitter imo

Huge distraction

Yeah, he would be more efficient without it

Twitter's formula is great for quick jabs, but that's not useful for actual diologue, it's good for shutting down diologue.

ye

I just watched the Timcast episode on the NYT (not the main channel vid).

I literally just reassembled my computer to say that I have never heard a rant I could agree with more.

I do want to add: Eugene Gu is actually pretty infamous as an activist. (e.g. for one of his other recent escapades: https://legalinsurrection.com/2017/09/if-you-love-how-sports-were-politicized-just-wait-for-your-next-visit-with-dr-progressive/; for a longer history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Gu). Gu is hardly a mere bystander. He's a socio-political influencer and a hero on the left. There's a reason he was at the top of the twitter feed.

@ExceptionalFeather yes i know fox is mainstream media , but tbh when you have most of mainstream media attacking trump and fox not attacking him as hard ....you start to wonder what exactly happened to non partisan reporting

Im not saying fox is no partisan at all btw

Fox is almost 50/50 and most of their presenters dont like Trump

Besides maybe Tucker, Hannity and Tomi

geezas https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/3775993/Blind-mans-guide-dog-barred-from-restaurant-for-offending-Muslims.html

ah ok.. 10 yr old article - thought it looked weird for the telegraph

@GingaBomber i thought they leaned more towards trump

Msnbc anchor wants to shut facebook down lmao

@Rabbi Shekels though Fox did not have much issue going after Trump when he was a candidate.

I did, I said those 3

Course everyone forgets just how much help Trump got in the primaries by the rest of the mainstream media

Theres alot of nevertrumpers on FOX

I meant Fox at the time was pushing an agenda against Trump whereas now it is mostly helping him

Begrudgingly

Their best hosts are all pro trump

Hannity and Tucker bring in the views

This meme is onto something

Where did they generate the image from

Would be cool to put in any data and then watch the pillars

Correlation without causation most likely

That pic lel

Ofc it is just corellation

@ExceptionalFeather just that fact that they are talking. About trump good or bad is exposure

The reason why people have good internet is low crime rate and thriving business

And it stands to reason that poverty would produce crappy to no internet with high violence chances

@Uksio well better internet occupies time

Games occupy time

Can't go shoot people up when you are busy watching your waifus

Ive heard the brazillian police ask for more game dev because it kept teens of the street

Why would you occupy your time with illicit activities when internet provides entertainment and education ?

@GingaBomber exactly

Wierd countries that actually make games

I found a company based in venezuela

That actually made a very good one

As in, 90%+ on steam

Wat game ?

Im trying to remember how to spell it

Why doesnt we have a game channel

Wtf tim

Discord was originally for games REEEEEEEERER

Gaming general?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/447530/VA11_HallA_Cyberpunk_Bartender_Action/

Jesus its at 97%

@GingaBomber isnt tht a graphic novel game ?

I heard good things about it

I wouldnt call it a VN, Graphic would be closer

Eh, if you play to relax its good.

There is a game channel

Theres no dialog options.

Look at bot commands

No choices, and a rather easy to avoid the fail state

@ExceptionalFeather ...i did ...i dont see it ...

On the commands channel

do "! gamer" no space to access the channels

Its not as active as it used to be, but some of the folks here had a terraria server together

Not sure bout now

Oh ok thanks ...

Didnt know that

Oh there it is , shit im slacking on my tech stuff

All I see is someone asking for a person who shouldn't be employable

The names of those courses, so good! 😁

"Black Geographies". Plural?

"Critical insfrastructure studies".

"Postcolonial urban theory".

https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1025367898309775361

bbc swooping in with another great example of why stealth edits are unethical

Black Geographies ~= Slums

Critical Infrastructure Studies ~= Prisons

Postcolonial Urban Theory ~= City Planning

???

That hairstyle on Sarah Jeong makes much more sense.

Also yeah, stealth editing needs to be countered somehow

NewsDiffs and archive sites are good, but knowledge of them isn't widespread enough

I wonder who flags an article that "needs" edited. Is it an editor who notices something and demands it be rephrased or is it a response to angry tweets from activists?

In this case, it was obviously some "you can't be racist to white people" idiot who demanded it be changed.

If I had to guess, when people quote the article in a way that makes it sound as bad as it really is, somebody notices and says "We need to make this sound less bad"

and vice-versa for anti-right wing/conservative articles

Really, though, their database should be tracking all changes to any article, when they were made, etc., and then the website should be taking that metadata and displaying it whether they like it or not

@Timcast speaking of editing http://gothamist.com/2018/08/02/ny_times_defends_hiring_writer_with.php

“Term’s use by white supremecists”

lol

nyt really is evil

stealth editing is evil

defending racists to serve your agenda is evil

i dont care if jeong is racist

I care that they fired quinn norton for similar bullshit

they have no principles

Knowing the NYT, they'd probably say their principles are "flexible"

And then later stealth edit that to say "flawless"

Im fine with them hiring jeoung but defending her and lying about it is disgusting
