Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.

She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression

Oh, hell no. They tortured this guy. What. The. Fuck.

CBS helped elect this clown. I distinctly recall in 2015 CBS cutting away from live Hillary Clinton rallies in the middle of her speech to instead go live to Trump’s empty podium before he even came out on stage.

I have no sympathy for what this administration does to the oligarchs legacy media corps now. And fuck Washington Post especially

The Culture series by Iain M Banks is fantastic

You’re absolutely right. It’s been 7 years for me. I grieved them and still do occasionally. It’s just not worth it to let them be a part of my life anymore.

They’d be foolish to do that. Kevin Rose is a greedy, shortsighted douche desperately trying to be relevant again. He sold the community out once and will do it again

Digg already sold out once. This time it has a Reddit cofounder on board as well. Alexis and Kevin Rose both have their VC corpos investing in it. It’ll be a disaster.

Yep, same. I went to Reddit as a Digg v4 refugee and got oerma banned for saying, “billionaires, it’s what’s for dinner 🍽️”

Reddit is mostly AI bot bullshit now anyway. Viva la Lemmy
