  • I see people mention this often and I understand where they’re coming from because it sure seem like it’s the reason thinking about how Republicans do something bad and it never gets done. While it’s true that this happening I believe the real issue is actually not enough Democrats in office. Democrats when in power are often stuck with razor thin margins and a few of them are basically DINOs like Joe Manchin. If we had more Democrats in office we wouldn’t be stuck with trying to deal with Joe Manchin because we’d have enough votes even without him.







  • If you want change you got to direct your comments to the HDMI forum. Here we can talk about it forever and if they never see anything they won’t change. I sent the following email to: [email protected]

    Dear HDMI Forum,

    I was recently saw the news that the HDMI forum was blocking open source implementations of the HDMI 2.1 specifications and I want to express that I really believe this is a bad idea. I hope the HDMI Forum will consider allowing it. I can’t say I understand what the concern is or the reason for blocking it but I really doubt that whatever issue is envisioned will actually come to fruition, instead I believe that allowing open source implementations will be beneficial for adoption of the standard and since if I understand correctly the licensing fees are based on hardware sold so having open source code will of course not exempt anyone from HDMI licensing rules.

    Thank you so much for your consideration,

    Maybe it’s not perfect (I already wished I worded one sentence better) but I think what matters most is just trying your best and using your voice whenever you can. Be sure to send your email too, the more they receive hopefully the higher the chances that this works but of course be sure to use your own wording, I just put that here for an example.



  • It seems you are right on this, I tried to see if other news papers reported on it and didn’t find much except some that seem based on the NY Post article. It’s actually surprising because usually it seems NY Post is not original reporting, they just add a right wing spin to stories already reported by more reputable news source.

    The reason most other papers are not reporting on it is because it’s just the opinion of someone who’s not an elected official. He has no expertise on antisemtism or any credentials that I could find that make his opinion worthy of being reported (unless you count him being a CEO, I don’t think that counts but for a right-wing audience that matters more). What Murdoch papers do is structure their stories in a way that results in people especially those who don’t read closely to understand the story in a different way than if you read closely or to react in an emotional way. For example some people will glaze past the fact that it’s her brother and think that it was Jessica Tisch who said that. In addition for people who already don’t like Mamdani this story will stroke their ego and give them more confirmation bias and help enrich Murdoch a little bit through ad revenue.

    By the way: they now have another article titled " NYPD boss Jessica Tisch apologizes to Mamdani after her brother calls him ‘enemy’ of Jewish people " https://archive.ph/vuLlj.





  • You got to vote and be active in politics and encourage as many people to do likewise. If more people did that the sum of our power would be far greater than the power of billionaires. We can then have reforms like regulating campaign contributions and lobbying and passing more regulations that protect the people.

    For some countries there are things working against us. For example in the US billionaires have a lot of power and contribute heavily to politics in part due to the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC which opened the floodgates for unlimited political spending and has really harmed our country. My solution to this is to encourage people to boycott companies that donate heavily to Republicans and most importantly encourage people to vote for people who will help stop all the corruption.
