Translation: Local faculty concerned over RWNJ-biased campus "think tank". Campus admins get pissy because that faculty is not being deferential enough (i.e. kissing ass).

@AlliFlowers Same. He has some good guests but it's really cringey to me when he's on a dead serious subject for 10 minutes and then ends it with something like "as T-Pain said, I don't wanna be a rude dude man." It ruins great points and also great songs.

#NBCUniversal Fire Ronna McDaniel or you're dead to your current viewers.

Teach so to develop students' ability to use tools and apply concepts to unfamiliar problems. Don't assume they will be able to.

If she's in the building, she's damaging truth and journalism. NBCUniversal can't even let her scrub the toilets without her damaging democracy.

If #RonnaMcDaniel is on the payroll the damage is done.

I agree completely. Maddow is great. She tells it like it is, and has the education to back it up.

It’s funny how MAGA republicans absolutely hate her. They have been conned into thinking she is fake, Lib news, when in fact, she is about as truthful as it gets.

Hayes, Melber, and Lawrence, are prime examples of ethical journalists, with fact checking instincts, to call out B.S. where they see it.

The other side claims the fact checkers are the liars, in a further attempt to confuse and disempower their voters.

@6G @DemocracyMattersALot @TonyStark @AlliFlowers And, to season the point, I did not start watching Rachel Maddow because she was on MSNBC, I started watching MSNBC because they had Rachel Maddow. I will watch the good journalists develop good stories no matter what channel or network carries them. I will avoid the Q-anon conspiracy theorists, no matter what channel or network carries them.

This story demonstrates why the right wing’s mantra of ever “smaller government” is lethal. It’s the role of government to make sure products and services are safe.

When the Trump administration came into power, it shrunk the EPA.

Both parties are not the same, nor are they only marginally different or whatever nonsense some enjoy spouting out. #ElectDemocrats

EPA bans asbestos, a deadly carcinogen still in use decades after a partial ban was enacted-

SUSPECT INTERROGATED

TV editor Simonyan published a video showing a suspect, a young bearded man, being interrogated aggressively by a roadside, replying in heavily accented Russian to a series of barked questions. He said he’d flown from Turkey Mar4 & received instructions from unknown people via Telegram to carry out the attack in exchange for money.

My thanks to the NBC execs who have hired failed RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel as a political commentator on MSNBC. At last I can unglue myself from the channel and perhaps read a book, do a crossword puzzle, take a walk. I'm finding that the fear of Ronna suddenly showing up on my TV is actually quite liberating.

@skykiss Any government that grants this man a security clearance is not serious about security

This INFURIATES me. Officers swear an oath. Once they've committed crimes--they're worse than any criminal--because they know better! https://masto.ai/@lovelylovely/112137216721217854

Last night, about 21 hours ago, Manfred Paul demonstrated a security exploit targeting Firefox 124 at pwn2own.

In response, we have just published Firefox 124.0.1 (and Firefox ESR 115.9.1) containing the security fix.

Please update your foxes! 🦊

Kudos to all the countless people postponing their sleep and working towards resolving this so quickly! Really impressive teamwork again. Also, kudos to Manfred for pwning Firefox again :)

The #Trump47 Cmte can raise up to $814,600 acc/to a donor form…& the joint #fundraising agreement outlines where each dollar is allocated sequentially down to the last dollar of each contribution.

The #donor form shows that the first $3,300 of each donation will be directed to #Trump for President primary election acct; the next $3,300 will go to his general election acct; the next $5k will go to #SaveAmerica & the next $413k is directed to the #RNC.
