1984 (Orwell):
"There was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator."
Versificator - auch nen schöner Name dafür.…

Expect thousands of #Linux #kernel #CVE entries for issues already fixed in the past few years, as filing those according to Greg was a requirement to become a CNA:

"The Facebook Pages of national news outlets lost approximately 64% of their Facebook engagement following the end of news availability for Canadian users. Local news outlets lost approximately 85%.

The far right has replaced the old left as Russia’s propaganda tool
In 2018, President Donald Trump endorsed Vladimir Putin’s denial that Russia interfered with the 2016 election, even though American intelligence had reached the opposite conclusion.
The following year, in the Trump impeachment proceedings, House Republicans claimed that Ukraine had interfered with the 2016 election even though Fiona Hill, a former Trump national security council official on Russia, told them th…

The far right has replaced the old left as Russia’s propaganda tool
Tucker Carlson’s fawning interview of Russian President Vladimir Putin echoes the left-wing journalists of the 1920s and 1930s, who downplayed or otherwise covered up Stalin’s murder of millions of Soviet citizens.

Notes on time entanglement and pseudo-entropy
Following arXiv:2210.12963 [hep-th], we investigate aspects of the time evolution operator regarded as a density operator and associated entanglement-like structures in various quantum systems. These involve timelike separations and generically lead to complex-valued entropy, although there are interesting real subfamilies. There are many parallels and close relations with reduced transition matrices and pseudo-entropy, which we discuss and clarify. For instance, a related quantity involves the…

"Let’s pause here. What would happen if the #NYTimes suddenly hired a #Palestinian filmmaker with no journalistic background, who had recently publicly “liked” posts that called for “pushing Israeli Jews into the sea,” to co-write several of its most sensitive and contested reports?"

Extraordinary charges of bias emerge against NYTimes reporter Anat Schwartz
New doubts are emerging about the New York Times’s coverage of sexual violence in the October 7 attack. The paper must explain why it broke its own rules by hiring a clearly biased writer who endorsed racist and violent rhetoric toward Palestinians.

Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass asked whether a woman’s story about an affair with a married candidate would do well.
“That would have been kind of like National Enquirer gold?”
Pecker said yes.
But, Steinglass continued: “At the time you had entered into that agreement [with McDougal], you had zero intention of publishing that story?”
Steinglass pressed: “Despite the fact that publishing it would help your bottom line, you killed it to help the candidate, Donald Trump?”
