How big tech is creating its own friendly media bubble to ‘win the narrative battle online’ https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/nov/29/big-tech-silicon-valley-ceo-media?CMP=share_btn_url
Uhn… uhn … uhn my readers, I don’t cover the news or the new, but anything that affects the common human, I will speak about, I will speak about cogently. I will always maintain a cogent rather than influenced interactive. For instance. it will be cogent to say Musk’s Grokipedia is a conspiracy theories pile of crap, won’t it my readers? Don’t even bother unless you’re in his cult
What if the future of media isn’t controlled by algorithms or legacy institutions, but by independent voices building directly with their audiences?” the firm wrote in its Substack announcement. The firm once invested $50m in digital media upstart BuzzFeed with a similar vision, only to see it fall into penny stock territory.
“At Arena, we don’t cover ‘the news.’ We cover The New,” a letter from the editors stated in its inaugural issue. “Our mission at Arena is to cheer on the people who are, slowly but surely – and sometimes very quickly! – bringing the future into the present.”
Musk’s embrace of creating a media bubble around himself has also shown how detached this kind of content can become from reality and result in the pursuit of alternative facts. The billionaire’s longstanding discontent with Wikipedia led him this year to create the AI knockoff Grokipedia, which generates blatant falsehoods and results that fit his own far-right worldview. Musk’s chatbot Grok has meanwhile repeatedly expressed opinions that mirror the billionaire’s own opinions or go to ludicrous lengths to flatter him, including last week claiming that he was fitter than LeBron James and could beat Mike Tyson in a boxing match.
I will debut longer form personal, experiential, and spiritual essays next year. I want to continue to do meaningful work. Help me conquer those who steal life, labor and liberty. Thank you.
When I realized comedy can be described as the things I say and do as well as the things I don’t say and do, I knew it was for me. I was seeing and hearing all kinds of shit that couldn’t be happening in the dreams and the nightmare we call society. I believe they call that crazy. You don’t need any proof. Someone just has to appear to have more potential at succeeding than you and you can make shit up about them. Better than that, you can plot to make them what you say they are. There’s always a ridicule am yet to encounter and the punches just keep coming. It is no miracle I survived. I am now more than qualified to tell comedically twisted true tales as a part of the jazz music festival, half time music. half time comedy. it is hilarious. In fact it is now a comedic-jazz music festival. Your receipts for music by ril and the free books for life cause mean the world to me. Help achieve justice.
