TIL!
Thanks for the correction (see screenshot from its Wikipedia article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairnes... ). I must be confusing it with the Equal Time rule, which is still in place apparently… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-t...
Screenshot of the Fairness Doctrine’s Wikipedia page: “The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints. In 1987, the FCC abolished the fairness doctrine, prompting some to urge its reintroduction through either Commission policy or congressional legislation. The FCC removed the rule that implemented the policy from the Federal Register in August 2011. The fairness doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows, or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented. The demise of this FCC rule has been cited as a contributing factor in the rising level of party polarization in the United States. While the original purpose of the doctrine was to ensure that viewers were exposed to a diversity of viewpoints, it was used by both the Kennedy and later the Johnson administration to combat political opponents operating on talk radio. In 1969 the United States Supreme Court, in Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC, upheld the FCC's general right to enforce the fairness doctrine where channels were limited. However, the court did not rule that the FCC was obliged to do so. The courts reasoned that the scarcity of the broadcast spectrum, which limited the opportunity for access to the airwaves, created a need for the doctrine. The fairness doctrine is not the same as the equal-time rule, which is still in place.” (With “The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views” highlig…

Used to be? Birds *are* dinosaurs.

Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for “Origin of birds”. The text states: “The scientific question of within which larger group of animals birds evolved has traditionally been called the "origin of birds". The present scientific consensus is that birds are a group of maniraptoran theropod dinosaurs that originated during the Mesozoic era.” The last sentence is selected in the screenshot, showing emphasis.

@gruber.foo I’m probably a few years late to this, but I think there is a @daringfireball.bsky.social sighting in HBO’s Scenes from a Marriage remake. In episode 2 at 3:49, Oscar Issac’s character has the DaringFireball.net homepage on his browser’s start page. I’d notice that shade of grey anywhere
Cropped screenshot from episode 2 at 3:49 of HBO’s Scenes from a Marriage. It has a MacBook screen showing a web browser with 6 websites tiled on it. One of them is DaringFireball.net with an added red arrow pointing to that tile. There is a clipboard with notes in the foreground and a lamp and a window in the background.
