#tesla is absolutely screwed.

Their stock was at about 268 at closing last night.

In less than 24 hours it has dropped to 239 or so last I checked right before writing this at 2:53.

She looks at how, with newspaper owners interfering in the work of their reporters, independent media sources are the ones holding power to account. “What independent journalism offers that legacy media increasingly doesn’t is transparency about where it’s coming from. There’s no pretense of objectivity that masks institutional biases and billionaire influence,” she writes. “Readers know what they’re getting, which paradoxically can build more trust than false neutrality.”

Dame Magazine - · Is Legacy Media Dead? - Dame MagazineThere was a time when people collectively agreed on what constituted "the news." Walter Cronkite would sign off with "And that's the way it is," and most Americans nodded along. The New York Times was the "paper of record," and if something appeared in its pages, it existed as fact in our shared reality. That

While it’s difficult to avoid the asshats* (and “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” notwithstanding), given Amazon Ireland has launched this week, just remember that every euro you pay them goes toward fucking billionaire Jeff Bezos who is helping Trump dismantle democracy in the US and elsewhere. So please do your best to shop locally – or with smaller EU shops – and avoid Amazon as much as you can.
