Notes on "Resist and Unsubscribe"

I am generally not a fan of Scott Galloway and his takes. (Let's not even get into my longstanding beef with anyone associated with NYU Stern School of Business.) I do see value in his Resist and Unsubscribe push because boycotts can be effective. What I don't see is nuanced advice on how to divest from some of the companies identified as supporting Trump and ICE.

So I decided to take a stab at it and also call for others to help.

On the website Galloway lists "subscription-driven consumer tech companies we have identified as having outsized influence over the national economy and our president" and then "consumer-facing companies that we have identified as active enablers of ICE." Take a look, then reblog with your ideas on how to resist and/or divest or, at least start making steps to do so. Because we can't all "just unsubscribe".

I'm getting worried that more of you aren't pirating stuff. I'll look for a show I want in one, maybe two places before I just torrent the thing. If I'm impatient I'll check the roku app since it searches multiple places at the same time, but if it's not there it's peer to peer packet sharing time.

Like it's the same level of options to me as any streaming service. It's not on Netflix, the antenna, or YouTube TV. Huh guess that means it's on the Literally All Of It service: my anonymous friends.

Thrice my brother asked me why I downloaded a show or movie and I said i couldn't find it but it turns out it was on Netflix. I just didn't find it on the first place I looked and skipped to the place that was a guarantee to have it.

Poob doesn't have it for you. Peers does.

Comcast Executive's One Man Show Now Mandatory Viewing For All Subscribers

In 2016, a Comcast user frustrated with slow internet used a Raspberry Pi to tweet Comcast every hour. The bot checked speeds, and if they dropped below what was promised, it sent an automated tweet showing the results directly to Comcast.

Finally got a partial list of who’s bankrolling the White House ballroom

And no, they won’t tell us how much anyone paid.

Major donors include:

Amazon

Apple

Google

Meta

Microsoft

Lockheed Martin

Booz Allen Hamilton

Comcast

Coinbase

Ripple

Tether

The Winklevoss twins

Big tobacco interests

Major rail and energy companies

What they won’t release?

Donation amounts.

But we do know at least $22 million tied to Google surfaced via court filings, not transparency.

So yeah. Defense contractors, tech monopolies, and crypto money are privately renovating the White House while lobbying the same administration.

Totally normal.

Definitely not corruption-flavored.

NBC News has reportedly laid off 150 people on the Black, Latino, Asian American, and LGBTQ+ diversity teams.

Demicia Inman at Vibe:

NBC News has reportedly fired multiple journalists responsible for verticals dedicated to diverse communities. According to The Wrap, 150 staffers were laid off on Wednesday (Oct. 15), impacting NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino, and NBC OUT, which covers LGBTQ+ news. The newsroom will still publish stories that relate to the specific groups; however, it will no longer employ specific teams. The outlet reported that five staffers will allegedly remain to contribute coverage on the verticals to the newsroom. As noted by The Wrap, the downsizing accounted for about 7% of NBC News’ newsroom of about 2,000 staffers and 2% of the wider NBCU News Group. A source claimed the layoffs “did not target specific teams and were driven by the network’s budget and the desire to streamline its editorial efforts.” The alleged layoffs come as NBC News parent company NBCUniversal prepares to spin off MSNBC and CNBC into the new company Versant amid shifts.

NBC News shutters the NBC BLK, NBC Out, NBC Latino, and NBC Asian America verticals and teams associated with the verticals, both due to the split of NBC News’s operations from MSNBC and CNBC and the Trump Regime’s war on DEI initiatives.
