Tabloid magazine? ... it's more like scribbled pieces of paper written by random strangers on the sidewalk ... people keep reading the crap and walk away happy that their worst beliefs have just been confirmed by 100 random strangers with scribbled pieces of paper who told them so.

Enshitification? .... at this point it's all dissolving into that putrid liquid dumpster juice.
No .... if people want to watch it live go ahead ... if not they can read the news story.
I just thought it was a significant world news story of a fairly good person who was able to have some international influence and use it for good causes ... a type of individual that we are sorely lacking in the world these days.
Thanks for that .... like I mentioned to friends and associates in public and online ... I thought it was just important to highlight the event as he was US President, and also most long lived US President at 100 years of age ... and the fact that after his retirement, he did so much international aide organization work, either to support or to just lend his name and personality to it.
It's becoming a rare thing to see a world leader honestly, publicly and through their own actions actually join in and take part in grass roots organizations and even get down and dirty to the point of working at an actual construction site, not just for a single photo op but on a regular basis whether cameras were rolling or not.

Rotated it and all I could see was this ....
Fascism is on the match. The problem is not that they are on the move. The problem is that many of us just join the march but caring about what we are doing ... or not doing.
And no I'm not calling for revolution.... I'm just calling out everyone that participates in corporate social media and wonder why they are encouraging the spreading of lies and propaganda
I agree but the problem is that there is a huge percentage of the population that use this dumb site as a way to collect and gather all their information about the world. The problem is not so much that fb changed, the problem is that so many people rely on it.
It had everything to do with human greed.
As long as there is the suggestion or possibility, no matter how remote that anyone of us can become enormously wealthy, we won't want to change the system.

Thanks to people like you and everyone at c/tenforward for giving me the motivation and enthusiasm to get back into Star Trek. It's people like yourself and especially @[email protected] that really got me back into Star Trek. @[email protected] was probably the first person I chatted with on Lemmy when I first got on this social media platform and he has always guided me to the right people and places which led me here to c/tenforward.
I watched Star Trek many times over the years but it was always a lonely experience. I've never known a group of people in real life in my circle of friends who enjoyed Star Trek. My wife is partial to it and only enjoys watching The Original Series and dismisses all the others. It's fun to relive and rewatch these episodes because many of them are truly wonderful writing and acting. This episode of DS9 was particularly outstanding. I was thrown for a complete loop when everything blasted back to 1950 and again caught off guard when they introduced all the characters. I thought at first it was weird that they brought in new actors but then realized who they all were. The intro scene with the sidewalk paper boy had me totally confused, I knew the voice, I knew the character but didn't realize until later who it was. The same for all the other alien characters. It was also thrilling to see Marc Alaimo and Jeffrey Combs - I really loved hating those two and its part of what makes the series so memorable. The only character I really missed in this episode was Garak (Andrew Robinson).
It is a really enjoyable show and it's made even more fun because I'm able to share the experience with people like yourself and this online community at c/tenforward
I don't know if I'll live long (I hope I do) .... but I'm definitely prospering.
