Beats me, but I’m not ready to assume literally every black owned media company was late unless CNN explicitly says that, which was NOT explicitly said in the article. The article cites one that was late.

I only have the same article you do. I’m just not the one assuming The Atlanta Black Star is the only black-owned media outlet, or that every black owned media outlet was late.

Context would lead me to think there must be at least ten, or this demand would make little sense. But that’s a lower boundary.

Rep. Meeks also called on CNN to “immediately to credential a minimum of ten Black-owned media outlets

And also, I would imagine that they aren’t doing this bit of not-enough just for The Atlanta Black Star alone:

Hours before the debate, the Biden campaign will host a press briefing for members of Black-owned media.

There very well could be a legitimate thing going on here, but until CNN says “every black owned media outlet turned in their application late” I’m not going to assume that based off a sample size of one.

Fuckin’ A right.

Yep. When I got out of bed this morning I would not have predicted this would be the day I’d have respect or sympathy for Paris Hilton.

All of 'em huh? One single media entity is mentioned in that quote. However:

“This afternoon we learned that CNN has credentialed 800 members of the media for the first presidential debate of the election cycle. Not one represents a Black-owned media outlet."

It’s still an example of the American Christian mentality, even if this example is in Australia. Like Trump supporters are examples of the Nazi mentality even though they aren’t actually–ok bad example there.

It’s this absurd country of “Christian” values, except not the part of caring for others, “fuck that socialism hippie shit, except for Russia, which is cool now because they meddle in our elections…

Yeah, they don’t like that be nice to others, love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek stuff anymore.

And that’s not just a quip: An evangelical leader is warning that conservative Christians are now rejecting the teachings of Jesus as “liberal talking points.”

Unless your fiancee is also a homophobic bigot as a central component to her personality, then she’s probably OK with it.

I don’t support banning memes or the news either, but they aren’t under attack currently.

But those 8 men deserve it! /s

Seriously though - I am doubtful we could meet these requirements to add an amendment stating the sky is observably blue in the current state of things in the US. It’s hard for me to imagine we’ll ever pass an amendment for any purpose ever again unless things change quite a lot.

A proposed amendment must pass a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress, or if two-thirds of the states petition Congress, a new constitutional convention can be called to consider amendments. In any event, three-fourths of the state legislatures must ratify the amendment for it to become a permanent part of the Constitution.

Schadenfreude intensifies…

I have servers on Digital Ocean and Linode and also one in my basement, and have had no problem. I do have all services behind NPM (not to suggest it’s a panacea) and use HTTPS/SSH for everything. (not to suggest HTTPS/SSH are either) My use case could be different than yours - my immediate family are my only consumers - but have been running the same services in those locations for a few years now without issue.

Woke is a social construct conservative people use.

My dude, Woke is a concept that the culture wars have stolen and mangled. It goes back over a hundred years.

And you won’t be surprised at all regarding who they stole it from.

How a Black activist watchword got co-opted in the culture war.

Edited to confess I don’t use it in the original context either. I use it like the article mentions near the end:

"People today who identify as woke see themselves as having been awakened to a new set of ideas, value systems, and knowledge”

I don’t actually use it out loud (primarily because of what conservatives have done to the word), but yeah, once you start looking behind the curtain, it’s hard to view it any other way but as an awakening.

I was too young to have to listen to their shit then though.

This one never really gets old anymore.

Ah, fair!

When the rest of us get taxed it’s just how society works. When billionaires get taxed, now it’s a “scheme.”
