I’m going to go on a limb and guess that this is coming from a hexbearism. MLs don’t have a problem with critically engaging with media of any stripe, because we trust our theoretical framework to ground us. And I can’t speak for everyone, but I don’t put much stock in consumer politics, so I don’t go out of my way to deprive Rupert Murdoch of ad revenue.

Do you want a color revolution? Because that’s how you get a color revolution.

This is the opposite of fascism being “deeply entrenched” anywhere in the USSR during it’s existence.

I didn’t catch the “in the USSR” part. It was entrenched on the other side of the Iron Curtain, with great effort from the US military-intelligence-industrial complex. Gabriel Rockhill: The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It

I posted this article to lemmy.ml last week.

There must be halfway-decent open source transcription software by now, but I don’t know them.

A few videogrophers & podcasters also have their works transcribed (Matt Taibbi, for one). Some (many? most?) YouTube videos have an auto-generated transcript.

I’ve done it, more than once. There are infinitely many ways to do it. I use trash-cli instead of rm(1) now.

Nawrocki spent 20 years in the Marine Corps before retiring in 2021, and was deployed on several missions to Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, and California.

Nawrocki, also known as “Fat Stacks” by his colleagues in the Marines, was a gunnery sergeant at the Marine Barracks Washington.

International Legion For the Defense of Ukraine:

Families of fallen soldiers receive a compensation of 15 million UAH, which is approximately $400,000.

You get the standard pay of a Ukrainian soldier and it varies depending on the conditions of the service. Your payment will be in UAH currency to a local bank account. The approximate amount in USD is the following: $550 per/month behind the frontline, $1100 per/month for service in a dangerous zone, and up to $4800 per/month for combat deployment. Please note, that those numbers are just an approximation since exchange rates can change and also some roles and units receive additional bonuses.

They dont just charge in and to a blitz.

Apparently this is an old tweet, pre-Musk even.

The China Project, Mar. 2022: Twitter mocked for new rule targeting Chinese state-affiliated media. Twitter thinks Peepee.poopoo.news.cn is an official Chinese government news source.

The application of the label, however, is problematic due to its automatic nature: Users found out that any URL that ends with “.news.cn” can trigger the label, regardless of its validity or actual affiliations with state media.

I don’t think that is problematic given that the Chinese state owns the “news.cn”. I see that some people said it had been applied to all “.cn” domains, but I don’t see evidence of it.

In any event, Xitter later dropped this practice. What the state of it is today I couldn’t say and don’t really care because Xitter.

It doesn’t exist, and I doubt it ever did, which means this is photoshopped or they flag all .cn or at least all .news.cn links that way. I’m leaning toward the later, but I don’t have a Xitter account so I can’t verify.

Edit to add: Probably anything news.cn, which legitimately is state media.
