Every big company at a high stakes poker table, going all in every time, loosing, then going all in again. The prize? The 'worker replacement machine'.
News pundits going 'what if the worker replacement machine had feelings?' rather than 'can't believe these guys are loosing so much money!'

There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It is about time that the Canadian government ends subsidies for foreign owned news organizations in Canada and exclusion from the Canadian Journalism Labour Tax Credit, Canadian Periodical Fund, Digital News Subscription Tax Credit, and the Canada Media Fund.

A flashback to 1999: the first film I ever worked on at ILM was Galaxy Quest, and VFX supervisor Bill George asked me to come up with new call letters for the Protector spaceship.
What began as "STD" became
"NTE" ... which stands for "Not The Enterprise."

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
