This is some beautifully-executed satire.

Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss (whose reign lasted a mere 45 days) appeared at an event to promote her new book Ten Years to Save the West. As she was blathering on, activist group Led by Donkeys lowered a remote-controlled banner reading "I crashed the economy," with a picture of the famous head of lettuce that outlasted her time in office.

Truss, like most conservative politicians, had no sense of humor about the event, and marched off the stage.

A nice, concise overview of the reasons to move away from social media, and how to do it, including the Fediverse and POSSE.

Before things got very cold between us, some studios were keeping an eye on the Russian market as well. That's supposedly why the queer content in The Legend of Korra was so very, very toned down; the show was doing poorly on its home ground, and Nickelodeon wanted to make some of its money back in Russia.

China is one of the biggest and most powerful overseas markets, although it seems to be in decline right now. But foreign markets definitely have an effect on what we get to see here in the States.
