Bumper music on CBS for the playoff game… Bulls on parade. Coincidence given recent events?

Is the position here that a platform should be able to create and disseminate AI child porn without any sort of consequences?

I promise you that if X/Twitter were owned by a liberal and their version of Grok was doing this, they would be shut down, their top people would be arrested and put on show trial, and the rest of the liberal social media ecosystem (e.g., Bluesky) would all be sanctioned or worse right along with them.

Someone on their staff wanting to says something or they are saying the cops are right?

Perhaps some would come for the kiddie porn but stay for the "for you" content that Supernazi billionaire owner Elon wants them to see and normalize.

It’s rage against the machine so it’s very appropriate for what went down in MN. Like most of their it’s about enforcing control, patriotic language masking brutality, conditioning the public to accept the feds violence, teaching who the enemy is without questioning. 

or it could have just been a cool riff  

Given what I know about the fox producers that make these decisions I expect a heavy Dead presence in the later game. Provided there’s time to do such things given Bobs passing yesterday.

Its funny that my gut instinct is still very conservative in that I reject the older media that had that type of rhetoric even if I totally understand the emotions now.

Obviously I understand.  We were part of or supportive of “the machine”.  That machine has been overtaken by others. But I can also see why I was wrong on some things too.

If we could get back to normal institutional stability I'd be glad to argue with my most liberal friends about a lot of things, but old style liberal/conservative policy detail debates today feel like worrying about the hang nails of a patient with a metastatic carcinoma.

So an NFL game sound loop of a super popular 90’s song is code for the left to rise up? I might just stay up here in the UP until spring. 🙄

You're not important. You'll be fine.
