Gideon Taaffe at MMFA:

CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s recent rollback of Meta’s content moderation and fact-checking programs is the latest move by media billionaires looking to cozy up to President-elect Donald Trump as he prepares to take office — joining him for private meetings at Mar-a-Lago, throwing money at his inauguration, and positioning their outlets to offer more favorable coverage of Trump. 

Seeing media billionaires cozy up to fascist plutocrat Trump is revolting.

A Pulitzer-winning editorial cartoonist revealed that she quit her job at The Washington Post after management axed her drawing of billionaires—including Jeff Bezos, the paper’s owner—bending the knee to Donald Trump.

Last month, Bezos, the immensely wealthy founder of Amazon, dined at Mar-a-Lago and his company donated $1 million to Trump’s upcoming inauguration. But ahead of the election, Bezos drew fire after the Post‘s management shut down the editorial board’s plan to endorse Kamala Harris. 

In a post on her Substack, Ann Telnaes said that she drew a cartoon that criticized corporate titans—including Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, and Patrick Soon-Shiong, in addition to Bezos—for their efforts to curry favor with the president-elect. (Like Amazon, tech giants Apple and Facebook also ponied up $1 million for Trump’s inauguration, reported Axios.)

She wrote, “I have had editorial feedback and productive conversations—and some differences—about cartoons I have submitted for publication, but in all that time I’ve never had a cartoon killed because of who or what I chose to aim my pen at. Until now."

According to Telnaes, the decision represented a failure of the newspaper’s obligation “to nurture a free press in a democracy.”

“Owners of such press organizations are responsible for safeguarding that free press— and trying to get in the good graces of an autocrat-in-waiting will only result in undermining that free press,” she added.

GQ Global Creativity Awards 2024: Introducing Our Sophomore Class of Visionary Honorees

Our second-annual gala celebrating “Big Ideas for a Better World” kicks off on April 11 in New York City.

The GQ Global Creativity Awards are back! Our second-annual gala celebrating the industry-spanning innovators who are setting the tone for an increasingly multidisciplinary, creativity-minded world will take place on April 11 in New York. As GQ's global editorial director Will Welch explained last year, the very notion of creativity has morphed from being a mercurial quality possessed by some, into the "most desirable cultural currency of our times." In turn, the GCAs were conceived to answer a question, as Welch put it: "In a world where everybody wants to be creative, who are the real-deal global icons setting the bar?" This year, our 2024 Global Creativity Awards honorees are: Lewis Hamilton, F1-transcending powerhouse. Hunter Schafer, Hollywood star and activist. Danny McBride, renaissance funnyman. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, legendary rock gods turned Oscar-winning composers. And rounding out GQ's GCAs Class of 2024 are the American multimedia artist Lauren Halsey, Marni's surrealistic creative director Francesco Risso, and ground-shaking Afrobeats innovator Asake. All of the honorees will join us for our big bash on April 11, where the evening's MC will be none other than Emmy-winning comedy veteran JB Smoove, hot on the heels of Curb Your Enthusiasm's swan-song season. As with our inaugural GCAs gala last spring, where we honored Apple CEO Tim Cook, Hollywood multi-hyphenate Donald Glover, global breakout star Hoyeon, and fashion world-builder Yohji Yamamoto, this year's event is a celebration of "Big Ideas for a Better World." Either way, it's sure to be a night full of great speeches, killer style, and other major surprises. Stay tuned here for more details.

Tim Cook is Failing Us

I’m a pretty huge Apple Fanboy and and have been deep in the Apple ecosystem for many, many years. I realise that Apple is first and foremost a business, but deep inside I think I always sort of thought that Apple were on the side of the “good guys”. Sure, I was probably brainwashed into thinking this since I first saw the Apple “1984” Superbowl ad… it’s how they marketed themselves for many years.

As a gay man, I guess I’ve also liked that Apple promotes itself as promoting diversity, inclusion, and equality. Hell, Tim Cook came out over a decade ago. So, why the Fuck is he personally donating a million dollars to the Insurrectionist in Chief?

Now, looking at that ad again, all I can think of is.. “Apple.. why 2025 will be just like “1984” ”.

Tim Cook Announces Apple's China Expansion

In a meeting with Chinese government officials in Beijing, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that the U.S. company plans to boost its investment in China, contributing to the growth of the supply chain, according to a report from state news agency Xinhua on Thursday. On Wednesday, the ministry confirmed that Cook met with Jin Zhuanglong, Minister for Industry and Information Technology.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment via email.

This is Cook’s second visit to the world’s largest smartphone market this year, where the iPhone maker has recently seen a decline in market share to domestic competitors.

Xinhua quoted Cook as saying, “Apple is keen to leverage the opportunities created by China’s economic opening and will continue increasing investment in the country, thereby supporting the high-quality development of its industrial and supply chains.” Read More-https://voiceofentrepreneur.life/apple-ceo-tim-cook-announces-the-companys-plans-to-boost-investments-in-china/
