National TV news largely ignored FBI report showing crime rates declined significantly in 2023
Media largely ignored the December release of the FBI's quarterly crime report, which revealed a “large, potentially historic, decrease in crime occurring nationwide,” according to crime analyst Jeff Asher.
Almost every category of crime decreased in 2023 compared to 2022, and the report “suggests either the largest or one of the largest national declines in murder on record,” wrote Asher. Despite the historic nature of the report, it received scant coverage in national TV media.

TW Transphobia & Rape Mention
So Rowling has finally lost her shit via a public meltdown on Twitter and shown her true colors. She posted this today insinuating that trans women are rapists. I thought it was fake at first cause this seems out of character for her. I mean, she’s usually a lot more subtle from what I’ve seen in the past. But its real — its really, really real. Its seem that she has opened some sort of charity for rape survivors that offers help solely to cisgender women.
I would recommend, especially if you are trans, maybe not checking out the link. Even though its there if you wanna see it. But its just fucking bad, guys. Like its really, really bad — the whole timeline is a mess of transphobic garbage. Its absolutely disgusting.
This woman needs mental help.

i sound like the youngest boomer on earth whenever i say this but it really was a mistake for baby gays to learn about the term fruit. idk what it is about the internet that makes kids see a derogatory term for a marginalized group they’re part of, or even just adjacent to, which they’ve never been targeted with and decide it’s just their new Special Inside Joke Swear Word. some 16 y/o online calling a picture of a celebrity wearing a gaudy sweater fruity or faggy isn’t “reclamation” it’s just parroting homophobia and not funny in the slightest.
speaking among onesself or close friends is one thing but when it gets to the point (and it has) where people are calling real life people they barely (or don’t) know homophobic terms, it doesn’t matter if the person saying it is gay or not.
#succ speaks#also i thought people were only like this online but being at a lac. people really just do this to people they know irl.#like they actually just say things. having to listen to a girl call ross gay 'fruity' in a poetry class and then like a week later...#...a guy who i was kinda friends with but also hung out with a total of like 5 times decided yeah sure i can call the group chat faggots#just......wow. people really live like this. and not even 8th grade gsa attendees who are still learning. young adults in the workforce.#i also think this sort of faux solidarity is why this same demographic desperately tries to express personal parallels to experiences...#...they have never gone through and/or cannot possibly go through. something about slowly losing the ability to listen and needing to talk.#<- also sorry to sound like a psych major but egocentric approaches to social media has done irreversible damage to so many young ppl...#...but at the same time we (young ppl on social media) are to blame because social media platforms are egocentric by design.#being invested in onesself isn't a cause of shitheadedry but a lot of people have really just gotten so dismissive of others it's insane.#also idk pretend i made a solid link between this and The Lost Art Of The Sincere Apology And Taking Accountability#this is just me parroting a convo i had w some friends at lunch 2day btw. posting it online bc someone probably needs to see this.#<- AS IN. ppl have definitely thought the same thing and need to see it articulated not that someone needs to feel called out by it#feeling called out by this would be like. a personal problem to sort out

Color me shocked.
Fox News is hosting the GOP debate in Wisconsin. During this build up segment, Martha MacCallum introduces the “random Republican voters” in Wisconsin who will watch the debate. Except, well… there’s a little problem. MacCallum introduces Chris Lawrence as a “Wisconsin GOP voter” who seemingly supports Ron DeSantis. However, MacCallum fails to mention that Chris Lawrence actually works for the Koch Network, who have recently pledged to spend $70 million to defeat President Trump.
@RaheemKassam
Hi I looked into “Wisconsin voter” Christopher Lawrence, why didn’t you tell people he’s a paid activist belonging to the open borders network that recently pledged $70M to stop Trump?
‘Globalist’ Koch Network Blows $70M of Donor Cash to ‘Stop Trump’.
From Sundance Treehouse Blog: "The ‘Koch network’ group Americans for Prosperity Action is dropping $70M+ on a bid to stop President Donald J. Trump becoming the 47th President of the United States, according to a new report which suggests the libertarian billionaire backed organization is campaign in the Republican primaries “for the first time in its nearly 20 year history”.
The money is in addition to a $200M+ fund established by corporate backers for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s campaign, and will likely be used for “digital advertising on the issue of electability in the presidential race,” in addition to direct mail. In such scenarios, high percentages of donor cash ends up in the pockets of campaign consultants and vendors.
The Koch network includes groups such as Americans for Prosperity, Stand Together, i360, the American Legislative Exchange Council, the State Policy Network, the CATO Institute, Americans for Tax Reform, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the Atlas Network, the Heritage Foundation, the Independent Women’s Forum, the Manhattan Institute, the Reason Foundation, the Texas Public Policy Foundation, and many more.
The organization’s LIBRE initiative even campaigns in favor of amnesty for illegal migrants.
The co-option of the Tea Party movement was spearheaded by the Kochs, who turned it from a citizen-led organization into a pro-corporate, libertarian shell, before dumping it when press attention became too inconvenient.
“The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade,” Trump tweeted in 2018. “I never sought their support because I don’t need their money or bad ideas.”
Not only has Chris Lawrence worked for the Koch Network for the past 9 years, he is also the Senior Field Director for the Koch group Americans for Prosperity. In essence, Lawrence is a political operative planted in the group by Fox News to support Ron DeSantis and make it appear like he is an innocuous voter. Fox News and Martha MacCallum should be embarrassed, but they won’t be.
Don’t forget, Ron DeSantis supporters Eric Erickson and Guy Benson sit on the Koch Network AfP Advisory Board (see here).
It’s all one big game of illusion, and Fox News is once again a big part of the Republican fraud. Proving yet again, that everything in the Ron DeSantis orbit is astroturf, phony, manufactured and made up."

So this is the centerpiece for a mixed media project (the other two parts aren’t finished). It’s about treatment of autistics with low support needs as basically neurotypical and how that negatively impacts when I actually do have needs. There’s also the element of being deemed “one of the good ones” however it’d the side pieces that would made that theme clear.
I actually really like how this ends up reflecting how it feels when I’m overstimulated

Honestly if PPGD did get adapted into a show (which some people have wished for despite it being very unlikely) it would be the Netflixvania of Powerpuff Girls (derogatory)
#ppgd ranting#piece of media that looks cool on a surface level but is actually fundamentally broken when you ->#really look into it and compare to what it's adapting#tries to act like its way more mature than it actually is with it's faux-grimdark writing#complete bastardization of some of my favorite characters

Fox’s Maria Bartiromo has responded with conspiracy theories and minimization after the Justice Department indicted Alexander Smirnov, an FBI informant who allegedly fabricated his accusation that President Joe Biden and his son Hunter each took hefty bribes from a Ukrainian oligarch. Her initial reaction was to decry Smirnov’s arrest as an “intimidation tactic” aimed at silencing “whistleblowers,” and as the story has played out, she hosted House Republicans who argued that his story “wasn’t an important part” of their investigations into the Bidens and blamed the FBI for their credulity.
Bartiromo’s programs were among the most prominent venues for the credulous dissemination of Smirnov’s claims. Bartiromo routinely treated the allegations as credible.

92-year-old Rupert Murdoch announced today that he will be stepping down as chair of his media empire, including both Fox Corporation, which includes the Fox News Channel (FNC), and News Corporation, which owns the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, among other newspapers. In 1996 the Australian-born mogul launched the Fox News Channel with media specialist Roger Ailes, who had packaged Republican presidential nominee Richard Nixon in 1968 by presenting him to audiences in highly scripted television appearances.
The Fox News Channel initially presented news from a conservative viewpoint, but over time its opinion shows, delivered as if they were news, came to dominate the channel. Those shows presented a simple narrative in which Americans—overwhelmingly white and rural—wanted the government to leave them alone but “socialists” who wanted social welfare programs demanded their tax dollars. Isolated in the fantasy world of FNC, its viewers became such fanatic adherents to right-wing politics that FNC wholeheartedly trumpeted Trump’s Big Lie after he lost the 2020 presidential election because viewers turned away from FNC when some of its personalities acknowledged that Biden had won..
Angelo Carusone, president of Media Matters for America, said today that “Murdoch created a uniquely destructive force in American democracy and public life, one that ushered in an era of division where racist and post-truth politics thrive.” Margaret Sullivan, formerly the Washington Post’s media critic, wrote in The Guardian that FNC was “a shameless propaganda outfit, reaping massive profits even as it attacked core democratic values such as tolerance, truth and fair elections.” Murdoch, she wrote, wreaked “untold havoc on American democracy.”
Murdoch sees it differently. In his resignation letter, he attacked “bureaucracies” who wanted to “silence those who would question their provenance and purpose” and “elites” who “have open contempt for those who are not members of their rarefied class.” “Most of the media is in cahoots with those elites, peddling political narratives rather than pursuing the truth,” he wrote.
Forbes estimates that their media empire has enabled Murdoch and his family to amass a fortune of more than $17 billion.

ohhh my god. women talking about their lives on tiktok is not a “trauma dumping epidemic” what do you MEAN “lately there’s this trend of women sharing aspects of their lives knowing they’ll be praised for their vulnerability” what the fuck are you talking about??? i’m losing my MIND. we live in the digital age. so many people share every aspect of their lives online, but god forbid women post anything about any personal lived experience they’ve had now, i guess
#you could simply criticize the culture of recording and sharing every aspect of your life on social media#without acting like it’s a female-exclusive issue. or that POSTING things on your social media is ‘emotionally abusive trauma dumping’ i stg#like they really be starting off faux news videos with ‘why are women such bitches?’ example: harmless post about a woman losing her job#pretty sure men have also complained about losing their jobs on the internet. but it’s just blowing off steam when dudes do it ig#even though it’s a sign of evil narcissistic behavior in women. apparently.#the audacity to present such a brazen double standard holy shit
