Bits<p>For our friends in the <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> from the <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/FCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FCC</span></a>: On July 17, 2025, the FCC announced that at its August 7, 2025, Open Meeting, it will consider For the accessibility community.</p><p>First, the FCC will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to re-examine the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) from the ground up, and explore whether fundamental changes could make these lifesaving systems more effective, efficient, and better able to serve the public’s needs. If the NPRM is adopted, the FCC would seek comment on alert transmission requirements that can promote flexibility and consumer choice by allowing for greater tailoring as to how alerts are received and presented on various devices (e.g., language, locations, screen placement, font size, text-to-speech, and other accessibility options).</p><p>The FCC also announced that it will consider a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) regarding broadband deployment and availability pursuant to its annual requirement under Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Specifically, the NOI would begin the nineteenth annual assessment of “whether advanced telecommunications capability is being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion,” as required by law. In the NOI, the FCC proposes to move “back to the plain language of the statute” and to take a holistic approach in evaluating broadband availability and progress in closing the digital divide. </p><p>The August 2025 Open Meeting is scheduled for 10:30 am ET on August 7, 2025, and will be held in the Commission Meeting Room, 45 L Street N.E., Washington, D.C 20554.

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>While it's been a hot minute since we checked in on the corporate media wing of the Vichy American establishment, I'm guessing you will not be surprised to learn that bootlicking media and entertainment corporate "leaders" are kissing Downmarket Mussolini's ass by silencing dissent on behalf of a fascist would-be dictator once again. </p><p>As you may have heard, Paramount is trying to pull off an eight and a half billion dollar merger with Skydance Media; a merger that Trump and his corrupt ass FCC can block without too much effort. Although they'd deny it, this caused Paramount to settle an entirely baseless sixteen million dollar lawsuit against CBS news (which Paramount owns) brought by Trump himself for "deceptively editing" an interview with Kamala Harris during last year's presidential election. This craven bullshit stunk to high heaven, enough that even one of CBS's own employees, Late Night host Stephen Colbert was comfortable calling the settlement “a big fat bribe” on his show. </p><p>Whelp, three days later in what CBS assures us is completely unrelated news, they announced that the network is cancelling the Late Show entirely at the end of the year, despite the fact that the show still gets great ratings and is "often the highest-rated show in late-night."</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/jul/18/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert-to-end-in-2026-as-cbs-cancels-show" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2</span><span class="invisible">025/jul/18/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert-to-end-in-2026-as-cbs-cancels-show</span></a></p><p>The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to end in 2026 as CBS cancels show</p><p>"CBS’s parent company, Paramount Global, is attempting to close the merger with Skydance after the deal fell apart last year. Paramount’s owners have been pushing the Trump administration to approve the sale of CBS to Skydance.</p><p>Colbert, speaking about the lawsuit settlement with Trump, said on Tuesday’s episode “Paramount knows they could have fought it”, because the company itself had called the lawsuit “completely without merit.”</p><p>Starting with the lawsuit itself, I think its important to understand that Colbert is entirely right. In the grand history of baseless lawsuits against the media, Trump's litigation against CBS for editing an interview for run time and clarity might be one of the all timers. News programs edit filmed interviews all the fucking time, including interviews with Downmarket Mussolini, and Trump's argument basically comes down to "this media organization dislikes me so they made my opponent look smarter and more articulate than she is." Which is not only absurd, but actively describes how the mainstream media has reported on the stream of consciousness, word salad vomit that comes out of Trump's mouth daily. </p><p>So Paramount rolled over, and more or less just gave Trump sixteen million dollars and a key political win (after all, he can now say "if I'm lying that the media is out to get me, why do they all keep settling with me?") to just bribe him and get the FCC to approve their merger. Colbert is right, it's an obvious bribe, and whether or not Trump directly had a hand in the result, criticism of the President and his corrupt enablers in the US establishment is resulting in a reprisal by a media company already collaborating with a fascist would-be dictator. Furthermore, that's not really a radical opinion because even milquetoast Democrat Politicians are cautiously articulating those same concerns:</p><p>"Senator Adam Schiff, a Democrat who appeared as a guest on Thursday night’s show, later wrote on social media: “If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.”</p><p>Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has called for an investigation into Paramount Global’s relationship with Trump over the Skydance merger, wrote: “CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount … America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.”</p><p>I can't deny that part of me is tempted to look at all of this and laugh my ass off at centrist liberals because now their faves are getting the "pro-Palestine, anti-genocide" treatment so many progressive journalists and commentators suffered even under the previous Democrat administration. Trying to be the bigger person here however, I'll instead point out that the goddamn Late Show and Stephen Colbert are by no means radical leftists, pushing "dangerous" ideas in the public discourse. What Colbert offers is bog standard liberal political criticism repackaged in a mildly humorous way. If corporate media companies are prepared to dump a successful, revenue generating critic like Stephen Colbert at the drop of a hat over some mild criticism of their collaboration and the fascist regime in general, then it means that nobody is safe from these kind of reprisals in our mainstream discourse.

Wingdings are Incomprehensible<p>Oh great, T-Mobile got two new acquisitions approved: They are getting US Cellular and the transfer of five Metronet subsidiaries to them as well! T-Mobile is going to become the next tyrant in the Carrier and internet space (I say this as a T-Mobile Customer). I miss Biden in a way, as this type of merger would not be green lit under that presidency. I can't wait for prices to once again increase because T-Mobile needs to fleece its customers to pay for these deals. 😬 </p><p>America has lost the plot and it's a corpo paradise.
