And that’s just one media conglomerate so far.

To meet requirements set under pro- Trump FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, Skydance said it would ensure diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI programs remain dead at the new company. It also agreed to install an ombudsman at CBS to vet and act on "bias" complaints in its news and entertainment programming, which Carr said "can root out the bias that has undermined trust in the national news media." Anna Gomez, the FCC's single Democrat commissioner, said the terms represented the Trump administration "imposing never- before-seen controls over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment, in direct violation of the First Amendment and the law." https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/paramount-skydance-deal-close-date-1236470440/ Accessed: 3 August 2025 at 1752 MST

If It’s in Their Water, What’s in Ours?” What a U.S. Pesticide Study Means for NZ
"A new study out of the United States has just confirmed what many of us suspected.
Even with stricter regulations and greater public awareness, people are still being exposed to a cocktail of pesticides—through the air, their water, their homes, and their food.

So if it’s happening over there, what might be happening here?"

If It’s in Their Water, What’s in Ours?

I disagree they have a vast distribution of propaganda that millions of Jehovah Witnesses read

The Watchtower publication organization agreed to put United Nations talking points in their pamphlets in exchange for money

At least this is what my understanding of what some people have claimed on the internet

Now Jehovah Witnesses have to read and discuss these pamphlets in order to stay in the group

So millions of people read material published by the United Nations

Not the latter day saints or mormons but the Jehovah Witnesses

Mormons believe openly in multiple gods where as Jehovah Witnesses call trinitarians idolaters and accuse them of believing in three gods, so Jehovah Witnesses would call mormons idol worshipers

Jehovah Witnesses call anyone or almost anyone that believes in at least one god that is not a Jehovah Witness an idol worshiper except maybe Noahides, Muslims and non Christian Jews

The Pope of the mainstream ultramontane Roman Catholic has special conferences where he invites delegates from a wide variety of religions including many dufferent denominations that are labeled as Christian but also Polytheists, Jews, Buddhists and most likely Muslims

I suspect these conferences provide talking points very similar to the talking points provided by the United Nations which are also the talking points in mainstream media news, hollywood movies and Universities

I believe a top down group of people writes fiction stories and then tey tell people to broadcast these fiction stories in the news

People believe these fiction stories are our history

The fake history becomes a shared basis for all major religious denominations as well as religion that pretends to be science that you well find at Universities and Public Scholls

By creating fake history you can control politics and by controlling politics you can control police & military

I went to a Church founded by a Korean man and a missionary from an English speaking country according to it's official story

The Korean man sent Korean missionaries to other countries

The Pastors would copy Sermons written by him but there would be recent news stories in the Sermons and they would change the parts of the Sermons matching recent news events but keep them otherwise exactly the same word for word

There is a top down group of people controlling info this way

I would suggest it goes even above the Pope and above the United Nations and on the top is a anonymous group of news writers that make up a single template for fictional news stories and people below them can change certain details of the template by adding, editing or removing things but they have to stick to the template to a certain degree

The number 33 shows up a lot in the news because they copied the same number from the same template in both old and new news stories

At almost all Churches I went to that used a hymnal they printed the name of the hymnal and the publishing conpany and the copyright day on the hymnal and it was something that was mass produced that local Churches would purchase

Some Churches that did not use a hymnal copied Lyrics from modern music songs and were honest about the contemporary christian musician that made the song. They might have typed it up & copied & pasted it

Not the same as saying I wrote my own Sermon

The Sermon scandal is different and it is in multiple Churches where they say they write their own Sermon but copy someone else's Sermon

Sometimes it is without the permission of the original person and without giving them credit which is plagarism

But what I saw was they would very much give people permission to copy in fact they would bully the sermon presenter into copying their Sermon

Hi, academics,
I have a question that is somewhat important for understanding the treatment of some untenured folks at a university.

This question is specifically aimed for academics who are working in a country where they are not citizens: How much, if any, assistance did/does your university provide with your necessary visa requirements? (I was going to do a poll but its probably too fine-grained of answers.)

Please share if relevant!

Your not going to find many people with PhDs teaching at a University on here because people are on here because they are censored

People with PhDs teaching at Universities are unwilling to say the words that would get them censored otherwise they would have already lost their jobs

So they are more likely not to be here than the average person with internet access if they are employed at a University

I have a dumb question about the fediverse.
Suppose someone makes their own personal instance. Federation is opt-in? So they have to click a button for each of the seemingly thousands of mastodon instances to get them on their "global" feed?
Or it's opt out, so they start with a hellscape of Nazi instances and have to remove them one by one?
And do the other instances have to also opt in? Are the admins of every instance needing to do something every time a new instance comes online?

I have always been amazed as to how people think that slaves could build everything in the past

How can they not understand that U would need skilled masters and craftsmen for everything

U can not force random people to suddenly become masters of all trade

U would also need Ur workers to be motivated to apply themselves for such complicated tasks

As a carpenter, mason, it is obvious by looking that the cathedrals were built by workers who took pride in their work

That said. In ancient civilizations slaves were not living in cages and chained.

Yes that happened too. But a slave was a property, an investment. If U were wise U would take good care of Ur slaves just as U would take good care of Ur horse.

In Babylon for example the slaves were more or less free, except they could not choose their masters. They were bound to work for their owner.

And after the slave contract was ended they often choose to stay and keep at it.

Morning y'all ​:neocat_wave:​
So in this age of people not really talking or communicating I, like many, have struggled to make friends (esp after transitioning). I've been an active fedizen for some time now, and I love the community here, but I've frequently struggled to make close connections.

As a fledging artist I'd love to make more connections with other creatives and cool people that I know are on here. So I figured I would make (and pin) this post as an open invitation for friends, for peers, for moots, for gamers, for silly queer people on the Internet to slide into my DMs ​:neocat_laugh:​
Maybe it's dumb to put myself out there like this, but at this point I don't much care about being dumb online lol. I'll happily take the risk if it means meeting cool people and making friends.
