As he zeroes in on the day on which he can finally smother net neutrality with a pillow, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai took to Twitter on Tuesday to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Big Lebowski, a movie that’s going to be harder, and more expensive to stream when net neutrality goes away.

Tuesday’s homage from Pai also included a link on the film to your aunt’s favorite weekly newsletter, Parade Magazine. 

It’s not just, like, my opinion, man: 20 years ago today, #TheBigLebowski—the greatest film in the history of cinema—was released. Decades on, the Dude still abides and the movie really ties us all togetherhttps://t.co/bYus1wlt7q

Net neutrality killer Ajit Pai would rather not accept that NRA gun award

It was only a week ago that FCC Chairman Ajit Pai was surprised with a “Courage Under Fire” award from the NRA for killing net neutrality.

Pai led the effort to repeal Obama-era regulations that kept the internet free and open. By April 23, the new rules should be in place. 

The NRA recognized Pai for his work destroying fair access to the internet with an award at the Conservative Political Action Conference last week.

It should be noted that the Charlton Heston Courage Under Fire Award is a gun — a handmade Kentucky long gun to be precise. This week, Politico reported Pai had to turn down the award because of ethical considerations.  Read more…

We knew it was likely, but that hasn’t made it any more popular.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to kill net neutrality Thursday, ushering in an era of new power for internet providers.

FCC Commissioner Clyburn takes down Chairman’s net neutrality doom and gloom

sudshr47 November 30, 2017

 Back in 2015, then-Commissioner of the FCC Ajit Pai submitted a lengthy paper detailing his reasons for voting against the incoming net neutrality rules. He made a lot of predictions about harm those rules would cause — predictions that, as fellow Commissioner Clyburn points out today, pretty much all failed to come true. Read More

 FCC Chairman and net neutrality eliminator-in-chief Ajit Pai has thrown Twitter and other online services under the bus in order to show that it’s not just broadband providers that can exert control over internet content. “When it comes to an open Internet, Twitter is part of the problem,” he explained. “The company has a viewpoint and uses that viewpoint to… Read More
