Good interview with Mehdi Hasan on the launch of his new media outlet, Zeteo, the end of his MSNBC contract, and what bought him to his current situation.
"The Israeli government is very good at putting out a spokesperson. Regev is one of the smoothest operators. Probably one of their best media performers. And that was, for me,” Hasan says, clapping and rubbing his hands together, “a challenge.”

I made the characters in the style of the MSN icons.
Ok, we’ll be watching the #eclipse from Shelbyville, Indiana (#GEZ) tomorrow. A nominal fee includes lunch. Probably spend the night in Madison (#MSN) prior to returning to Minneapolis (#MIC) Tuesday.
I suppose the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Web team are not (yet) in the Fediverse, but I hope they one day fix this problem. MSN has a similar issue. Or maybe it's a bug in the Mastodon software, but I see a lot of news story shares in the Fediverse that look like this.
Did you know that #MicrosoftEdge's new tab page relies on msn.com so heavily that when you set #MSN#unsanctioned in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps you can't use the new tab page anymore?

#AI#GenerativeAI#MSN#Microsoft#Canada#Ottawa: "Late last week, MSN.com's Microsoft Travel section posted an AI-generated article about the "cannot miss" attractions of Ottawa that includes the Ottawa Food Bank, a real charitable organization that feeds struggling families. In its recommendation text, Microsoft's AI model wrote, "Consider going into it on an empty stomach."
Titled, "Headed to Ottawa? Here's what you shouldn't miss!," (archive here) the article extols the virtues of the Canadian city and recommends attending the Winterlude festival (which only takes place in February), visiting an Ottawa Senators game, and skating in "The World's Largest Naturallyfrozen Ice Rink" (sic).
As the No. 3 destination on the list, Microsoft Travel suggests visiting the Ottawa Food Bank, likely drawn from a summary found online but capped with an unfortunate turn of phrase."
#Covid in Großbritannien - es geht wieder los - neue Variante #Eris
Zunächst vorab: passt auf euch auf! - Ich hatte vor ein paar Tagen Erkältungssymptome und machte nach längerer Zeit mal wieder einen Test. - Glück gehabt, negativ. #MaskeAuf, wenn ihr mit vielen Leuten zusammen seid, zumindest mal im #ÖPNV.
"Der neue #Eris Covid-19-Stamm verbreitet sich schnell. Die Brit:innen sind vor der neuen "Eris"-Variante gewarnt worden, die landesweit zu einem Anstieg der Corona-Fälle führt. Den Angaben der britischen Gesundheitsbehörden zufolge ist dies inzwischen die zweithäufigste Variante im #VereinigtenKönigreich, dicht hinter "#Arcturus", das mit 39,4 % fast die Hälfte...
The #fediverse exists as the antithesis to centralised networks. Which is why, IMHO, it is absolutely not needed to welcome #Meta#facebook. Fox, henhouse and stuff. If they want to implement some sort of gateway using #activitypub — let them build it. But we are under no obligation to help them. Or discuss with them under NDA. Simple. They are not friends or allies. They will extend, embrace, extinguish what we have under the disguise of cooperation should you help them.
@RezzaBuh@jwildeboer I don't think so. Yes, there was a lot of bureaucracy, but there were perfectly working and collaborating implementions of all software required. Just when they were in danger there would be inter-server #XMPP federation (both #Facebook and #MSN had working versions of gateways), they rather pulled the plug than not having everything under their 100% control).
Republicans come up with all kinds of red herrings to distract attention from the obvious fact that guns are the problem.
Mental illness, too soon, thoughts and prayers - the list goes on.
“Illegal immigrant” now from Greg Abbott, as if that somehow mitigates the deaths of 5 people and doesn’t even appear to be true. But this is who the GOP are.
Only 50% of registered Texas voters voted in 2022. Thinking that your vote doesn’t matter because you live in a red county/state? What if it would?
Today Dick Durbin was on MSNBC and not once did the subject of how Diane Feinstein's hospice care is blocking federal judge confirmations and the issuance of subpoenas for corrupt SCOTUS Justices — not once did that come up even though Durbin's main job in the Senate is to Chair the Judiciary Committee. The #MSN and #MorningJoe really dropped the ball today. Biden and Schumer need to act immediately.
