MAGA’s Little Helpers: Sinclair, Nexstar and the Consolidation of Broadcast TV
PETE TUCKER
“That’s because the local ABC station in the DC area, WJLA, is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Network. And the right-wing network refused to air the Jimmy Kimmel Show! on any of its 38 ABC affiliates.”

one thing I like about the KATU frog interview is his refusal to exaggerate the severity of the harm he suffered when the ICE pigs sprayed pepper into his air hole. The total opposite of constant, endless MAGA flopping.
I mean he’s also surrounded by ppl who are being harmed by Gestapo pigs on a regular basis, and it’s only a matter of time for him; so why play pretend?

Capitulation leads to more capitulation. We need corporations that will fight for democracy, and must BOYCOTT those who won’t.

And as I keep saying, Sinclair and these affiliate stations are NOT economic behemoths in Disney's class.
They are economic light weights in the bigger picture. So if y'all cancelling Disney+ etc got Disney actin right, just a fraction of that boycott hitting Sinclair directly and you might have something 🤔
And remember, don't over do it on praising Disney for Kimmels -partial- return to air. Its best make sure Disney and friends feel long term impacts so they don't dare this gambit again.

The full episode is available online and already appears to have SIX times its typical view counts over the last month or two.
I swore off Jimmy Kimmel years ago cuz he said some shit about Opera back on the man show... But I'll be damned if they gonna cancel him when he's finally punching up at fascism. So he get a solidarity watch from me today.
Solid boycott idea here for the PNW area
#Seattle #Portland #PNW #WA #OR #JimmyKimmel #Sinclair #ABC #CharlieKirk #Epstein
The Sinclair corporation posted on their Twitter account that instead of Jimmy Kimmel they would be airing a news program.
So if you ask me, the Disney boycott should continue in all regions in solidarity with Americans living under the Sinclair censorship regime.
And if you're in Seattle, there's very likely to be even liberals protesting at KOMO HQ tonight again.
It's being reported that Sinclair affiliates, like Seattle's KOMO, will not be returning Jimmy Kimmel to the air
Sinclair media is demanding that Jimmy Kimmel apologize and pay a randsom to be returned to broadcast on Sinclair's stations.

#JimmyKimmel was suspended from his show this week following comments suggesting that fans of #CharlieKirk were trying to capitalize on the conservative activist’s assassination [they are]. Federal Communications Commission [#FCC] Chairman Brendan Carr called the remarks “truly sick” & suggested his agency would look into them.
Carr answers to #Trump, who’s already on record as *disliking* [despising] Kimmel’s comedy.

2 companies that operate ~¼ of #ABC #affiliates nationwide, #Nexstar Media Group & #Sinclair Broadcasting, also said they would not air #Kimmel’s show.
#Disney took a step last Dec to avoid a confrontation w/ #Trump by paying $15M to settle his *defamation* lawsuit against #ABCNews & #GeorgeStephanopoulos. It also made moves to dismantle some of its #DEI practices, including removing references in its annual report to its Reimagine Tomorrow program aimed at “amplifying underrepresented voices.”

using the incredible compatibility afforded by the front panel headphone jack, i can write a tape from a modern PC and load it into the ZX81
and i run headfirst in to z88dk's limitations, compiling with sccz80 renders in a lethargic 5.4 minutes, sdcc is much faster at 2.5 minutes
but sdcc doesn't seem to support the ZX81 compatible floating point library, so it glitches the video
the inner loop is 16bit fixed point but using it all the way through gets real raunchy precision wise so i thought i'd just use floating point on the outside hahahah
anyway here's a patched z88dk that cleans up the ZX81 tape output, whoever wrote it clearly wasn't a DSP signals person 😬
https://github.com/SegHaxx/z88dk
makes it all nice and symmetrical, no more DC offset
i'll make it nice sine waves someday
...i was unable to write readable tapes and after driving the SO nuts listening to screeching i determined the super clean outputs on a modern PC cause the vintage cassette recorders aggressive AGC to max out, resulting in mangling the signal when it comes in
the ZX81 has zero error correction and this fails the load
after adding a pilot tone inspired by the Apple II i can write tapes that load 100% reliably and it gives you something to orient on when scrubbing through a tape looking for the start of a file
it also shows as a solid white screen on the ZX81
near as i can tell a real ZX81 is so goddamn RF noisy the video buzz fulfills the same purpose of priming the recorder's AGC
80's tech, man ¯_(ツ)_/¯
...with that i'm kinda burned out on the ZX81 lol

i'm way behind on my ZX posting
need some proper mono cables to make the cassette deck go brrr so i grabbed a handful of various vintages from axe man
including this chonky vintage Sony RK-64A cable? sure looks like it came from the 1960s
