Is Larry Ellison's name in The Epstein Files? It would be inappropriate not to speculate.

Go ahead and enshittify TikTok. You think you'll have a captive audience in the Kidsthesedays™?

They'll get sick of it and leave. Find some other place to hang out.

Because they can.

From Marc Elias & Democracy Docket

"Democratic New York lawmakers — as well as City Comptroller Brad Lander — were arrested by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers Thursday after demanding access to an alleged detention facility run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at 26 Federal Plaza."

Symone Sanders points to the exact pages (856-877) on Project 2025 on which what Brendan Carr's FCC is doing right now is explicitly described --

which is exactly why some of us were begging people to read it BEFORE NOVEMBER 5, 2024 and make choices accordingly

Also some of us wrote about all the SInclair acquisitions (that Boris Epshsteyn spearheaded, and I hope you remember that name) but people "couldn't understand what all the fuss is about"

Listen, y'all - I'm tired of screaming

The Ellison son - yes, the same one behind the Paramount / CBS merger he had to bribe Donald with firing Colbert with to get (via Brandon Carr) -- is ALSO TRYING TO TAKE OVER WARNER BROTHERS

Now yes, we have a buttload of antitrust laws that were designed to prevent this but we know Sham Blondi is all about non-enforcement of U.S. laws against rich White men

I mean, we do have a journalism professor here calling it the five-alarm fire that it is ... especially since his DAD is ALSO trying to take over TikTok.

Everybody sees how this is really bad, right?

At least the Guardian is covering it

The banning TikTok bill was one of the dumbest things Biden and Democrats did. A bunch of lawyers, who have no clue how technology works or why the Chinese government hovering up our data is worse than U.S. companies hovering up our data.

At this point I'm not sure that I don't feel safer with the Chinese

We tried to tell them as early as 2014

They didn't want to listen

These two photos are excellent proof of the Dickensian Theory that your Insides are accurately represented by your Outsides.

If you presented to a bunch of investors your plan for a new business, and when they asked to see the business plan you said you had a "concept for a framework for a plan", they would laugh in your face and show you the door. So why is TFF, whose job is way more consequential than any small business, allowed to get away with this kind of shit?

Not done reading yet, but Larry Ellison is not CEO of Oracle. He's CTO. CEO is Safra Catz.

Anyone else think David Ellison has already had some plastic surgery/botox/whatever? His face looks too tight and smooth in his pictures.
