Scary Austin
@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social
The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in #cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. #BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts. "Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷♀️

On his way out the door at #CBS, Colbert deliberately played copyrighted music on his show so CBS would get sued. The owners of the music loved the prank, sued CBS, and will donate the money to Wotld Central Kitchen.

I try my best to live with purpose and stand for something. My posts will get political at times but I try to limit this. I don't always succeed. I mostly post about: #Videogames #RetroGaming #RetroComputing #PocketPC #RetroTech #Movies #Film #Anime #TTRPG #BoardGames #Lorcana #Oklahoma Header provided by @Digituba@mastodon.social who apparently left without saying goodbye. :(

The news of #Fox purchasing #Roku is quite depressing.
Apparently its #FoxCorp, the Fox News arm. At first I thought perhaps it was being brought under the #Disney owned arm of Fox but that's not the case.
This regime has all the big social media sites under their thumb. Their allies have purchased #CBS and now Roku. They have owned #Tubi for years.
They are stripping funding and punishing networks with dissenting viewpoints like #NPR and #PBS and #ABC
Time to disconnect my Roku TV from the network. Their not gonna get jack shit from me.
I'm not going to feed this machine.
I have had a media PC hooked up to the TV for the last couple of years and seldom used the TVs apps anyway. The PC is a much better experience.
I will certainly miss the TV guide though for OTA TV.

#WhiteHouse and #CBS #ParamountPlus are celebrating, uh, #PrideMonth (??) by inviting a bunch of mostly naked men who invest heavily in their bodies and appearance to consensually grope one another and submit to a masochistic dominance ritual performed in public and filmed for the gratification of others.
As long as everyone involved subscribes to #RACK (risk-aware consensual kink) I don't have any moral objections to what people do with each other. Just not sure why it's okay to spend public tax dollars on this obviously super #woke embrace of #SexualFreedom and expression but they don't want any super-fit "beardos" (like the guy in the top left of the picture) who are actually *real* fighting professionals serving in the #USA military.
Is our president secretly #LGBT? Totally cool if he is. Just wish he felt safe to come out of the closet...if only our #USpoli & government hadn't spent the last 18 months trying to terrorize and dehumanize the community. It could be his safe space.

"Asked to respond to Pelley's claim that Weiss "was putting a thumb on the scale on behalf of the [Trump] administration", CBS News said there was "no credible argument" to suggest she was doing that."
Translation: That's because the most "credible argument" is that #Weiss was putting the entire weight of her body on the scale on behalf of the [Trump] administration.

I saw the horrendous news that the Ellison's have the Warner Bros deal, which includes CNN.
...the #CBS Bari Weiss'ing of #CNN. Lort help us. CNN already got right-winged enough.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos was at the White House today, February 26, 2026, hours before it backed away from a bidding war for Warner Bros. #Netflix #USPol
🔗 Netflix Backs Out of Warner Bros. Bidding, Paramount Set to Win
In a stunning twist, the streaming giant's co-CEOs say the major studio "was always a ‘nice to have’ at the right price, not a ‘must have’ at any price."

Trump's fear
CBS = Censored Broadcasting Network
There’s been a lot of coverage the last couple of days about how #CBS barred #StephenColbert from interviewing on his late-night show the Democratic Senator candidate James #Talarico from Texas. #Colbert then aired the interview on #YouTube, which as of today, has 6.6 million views proving again if you censure stuff, they will come.
I encourage you to watch it,not just to push back on media companies who cave to #Trump, but to understand what is keeping Trump awake at night.”

%Billionaires Gone Wild
A few stories about centibillionaires — men whose net worth exceeds $100 billion — and their role in our society:
· In 2022 Elon #Musk, the richest man in the world, purchased Twitter. Since then he has turned the platform into a racist cesspool, overrun by literal Nazis.
· Last year #Skydance Media, run by #DavidEllison — the son of #LarryEllison, the world’s 6th richest man — acquired #Paramount, which includes #CBS. The new management put #BariWeiss, a conservative pundit with no relevant experience, in charge of CBS News.

I like watching the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and I will stay up late just to watch it live.
Tonight, though, will be disappointing, because the guest is John Oliver. Whenever these two get together, they mostly talk about John Oliver's kids.
That's not my idea of engaging TV programming. 😐

Peter Attia is a Canadian-America, living in Texas
In 2025, the disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein's appointment calendars revealed several meetings with Attia up to 2019. When the #EpsteinFiles were released, emails between Attia and Resurfaced attested to their longstanding friendship; in one of them, Epstein wrote to Attia, with the subject header "Got a fresh shipment"
"In January 2026, Attia, along with various other health influencers were announced as new contributor to CBS news under the leadership of Bari Weiss"
