You a shareholder? Like, why do you care who makes the most money?
Would you rather have they not supported this work and it never got made? Or are you just arguing that more giant corporations should make even more money off the work of creatives?
In between posts speculating on demise I saw photos of dahlias, rainbows, dogs, and movie reviews There's juice
Is this one a personal freedoms piece or a free markets piece?
Mexico is also currently destroying jungle and Mayan ruins to rapidly build a rail line for tourists in the Yucatan
Know a guy culture is alive and well in immigrant circles And if you dig long enough at the Ace Hardware bulletin board you can find a small portal to a guy that might also know a guy
You replied, so seems like you know Its pretty close And it makes a lot more sense than losing a generational player in the most laughable trade in history
Hey y'all, block every troll in these comments. It makes it better
Just an fyi for folks These drug discount cash prices are leveraging riders on PBMs; they're not working against the system, they are the system. And as soon as the profit incentive changes, they're negotiated out of contracts Also Mark is thanking himself bc can't figure out how to use a burner
It's really weird how in issues of governance/politics people adopt the sports fan ideology of trashing their own team bc they'd rather be negative and right than support something positive and risk being wrong It's all for the "See, I told you"
Absolutely hilarious, and they traded him to a team they have to play against in a month 😂
Reminder to all that turnout nullifies redistricting schemes. Get every eligible non-voter out
Why are these companies not just ignoring these illegal orders? Keep building. What are they going to do to stop it? They're just making up power they don't have, make them prove it before compliance
It's not how it works as long as the majority of us continue to insist that's not how it works
Sounds like someone kinda heard something about how language influences thought, but completely misinterpreted it and made up a new conclusion
You should talk to someone in real life. Let someone else take a shift in the meme wars
Is this a bit? It's delusional. The states don't pay taxes to the fed, individuals and businesses in the states pay the fed. It doesn't go to the state first
This is an imaginary ability to control tax payments, fyi
Block the enragement trolls, folks. Everyone spewing that nonsense that if you don't agree w them 100% of the time, you're equal to someone that they agree with 0% of the time
I understand your frustration. But realize you're only hearing from the people you either choose to listen to or, more likely, the media or an algorithm choose to amplify They want you mad and frustrated so they can keep you down
Don't get me wrong, any Dem following their advice deserves to lose every election they run in. There is no place for this bs I just don't think we should give them the influence they seek by associating them w all Dems. It feeds the infighting, even if you don't mean it to
Third Way aren't Democrats, that's why they're called 'Third Way'. They should be ignored
Exactly. Every time someone is yelling "Dems should do this!" it should really be a demand that the media cover the Dems like the GOP Instead they're going to seek out and bring on mealy mouth Dems to add to the outrage machine, bc that's what all of it is for
Even if they were saying it, how would you know? They wouldn't be airing that on TV
Hence the need for regulation, antitrust, competition, and public options
If you wouldn't have asked so many questions, it wouldn't be a spoiler
In case you're checking in from outside MN, the mpls DFL caucus convention is some wild family drama all the time
A turnout increase makes all these redistricting games moot. We can just play checkers and win by getting eligible non-voters to just fucking participate "Do you like secret police squads and increased costs? No? Then go vote!"
They also don't have 52 districts to play with. The hyping of this as a solution has me just...😶
A redistricting race to the bottom is a race Dems lose if we don't also drive up engagement and turnout And driving up turnout also negates all GOP redistricting schemes So maybe we put a little more effort into getting non-voters to vote instead of demanding Governors do something they can't
I'd be fine if they just state that all the justices appointed by the guy who cheated to be elected aren't valid and will be vacated and filled with new appointments Then add five more justices
..............and?
😶
Redistricting schemes only work bc people don't turn out and vote I'd like to see just half the energy spent on pushing redistricting fights spent reaching out to eligible non-voters and asking if they like this shit or are they going to do something about it
If you have to put quotes around it, I think you're making the same point I am
I don't understand, if WHO has a defined demarcation line in how they talk about it, what's the problem with regular people talking about the same thing in less scientific terms?
Reminder to all that turnout destroys all this redistricting bs. Massive PSA campaigns that say "Not voting is how we got this, do your part"
Exactly. This isn't using AI, it's using data labels that you can filter and sort by This is AI to the same people that think ctrl-f + replace is AI
Do you mean "..trying to find" common ground? Because if they already have common ground on some despicable view, seems like that's the problem right there
So true
Each time I see this headline I think it's missing a digit
I might have prompted this question I think it's a factor so you don't consider folks like LeBron a journeyman just bc played for four teams unless he finishes career moving around on a bunch of 1 yr deals
Two and a half, shipped at deadline
Less about number of teams than duration of contracts and frequency of movement
We are at the stupidest point in history. People that claim they're witnessing the start of a civil war are seeking online engagement by demanding people out of power do the performance that they want to see
You seem really worked up. You should probably find someone you can talk to in person about how you're feeling Pay attention to the forest and don't fight about the leaves
It's much much much broader than that. But, yep
You're absolutely taking sides Sides in a battle where bots have been stoking Dem infighting for years and have convinced actual people to take up arms with them bc they have lost the forest and are fighting about leaves
You see a clip of horrible actions from the GOP government and your instinct is to yell at Dems? 😶 We're so fucked
I'm not the one making this about what I care about No one cares about mayoral endorsements other than people that want to weaponize them for or against their agenda Also, ever thought maybe they just don't know each other?
Who is doing this? And where?
Jefferies is the minority House leader, I could care less which mayoral candidates he endorses. It's a legislative branch, be focused on that stuff
It's the obsession that's the issue here, folks are inventing a controversy spreading infighting narratives that favor "their side" when everyone should be focused on defeating the fascists I don't buy the premise that the party is undermining the primary winner, are they withholding funds?
I think everyone should be able to run if they want to, that's democracy. But yes, point out that they don't have support of the party and call it sore loser shit I'm not touching DNC bc I think there is a huge misconception by folks here about what the DNC is and what their role is
People actually turning out to vote would be 1000% more effective than map games
Don't beat yourself up, the media jumped on Nuclear scare themes and that's most of the info people got. A lot of people's knowledge of Nuclear energy doesn't go much deeper than things they saw on The Simpsons
What is there to gain by getting Dems to fight each other? Like wtf do y'all care soooo much about endorsements?
Yeah, it looks like Amazon is basically playing that role, at least in limited schedule I looked at
At this point I can't tell the difference between the bots assigned to spread apathy and the smug Dems doing it to prove themselves right
I was wondering same thing about NBATV
The irony of environmentalists choosing and winning their battle against Nuclear energy that then set back the war against greenhouse gases for decades
There was only graffiti on the western side of the Berlin wall
Many of them have also never really experienced being around people who aren't "like them" and justify their prejudice as "trusting their gut"
I'm sure the 100+ FBI agents that normally work in an air conditioned office are loving walking around in summer time DC swamp air while wearing their 30 lb soldier costumes
All y'all complaining are completely allowed to take part in driving the change you want to see, or you can keep seeking enragement likes But if you lose or your position isn't supported by the majority, you're not being silenced, it's just how democracy works
They used to write news stories because people that studied things determined some things are more worthy of news stories Now narrative drives clicks which drive narrative
Wait??!?! What?!?!? 😶
If only we could go back to a time when publishers and editors valued "Is it newsworthy?" more than "Will it get the clicks?"
My uninformed observation is that all the folks who were screaming "Resistance!!" in 16/17 for attention starting screaming "Do better Dems!" in 2019 and learned enragement gets way more attention and they've never looked back
Bc it's an attention grift. The whole discover feed is just an attention grift at this point
I'm sorry, but wtf does memecoin bros trying to go viral by attacking the WNBA to boost value of their pretend currency have to do with Democrats?
Nice!
Sweet! I have that queued up for later today
The real danger is that the media lets him use their platforms to say these things
Curious, where'd you see this? I didn't see anything official on their site
Stoking division between Dems for clicks right now seems like a bad idea. I haven't endorsed anyone for mayor in cities I don't live in either, am I a problem?
Fans, which help evaporate sweat on your skin to cool you down, don't work, but you'll never believe how well these 10 Amazon products will
Where did you go to see all 70M+ Dems make this decision? Or is it more accurate that you saw a story pushing a narrative without context?
Totally, but I also try to keep a 30k ft view, just bc a couple people being loud got a headline, doesn't make it representative. But the media loves to push narrative for enragement clicks
I think there are a lot of folks from many perspectives that think that if a candidate doesn't agree with everything they do, they're the enemy. That's not how democracy works, and we don't emphasize it enough I acknowledge some of the folks are much louder about it than others
But if that person wins their primary/endorsement after a democratic process, you should vote for them and then work to persuade them on issues you don't agree on Throwing your arms up and giving up is what the fascists want you to do
10k monkeys held hostage in a pocket universe just clanking away at the keys trying to produce enragement likes
Collectively, we should all have one shared burner login that we can all use for all the sites
Being able to talk to and hear everyone was a very bad idea
That's the defeatist attitude sure to restore democracy and motivate folks to vote
It sure seems like a lot of folks that sign up to be cops are really just scared of everything, all the time. All the body armor, all the guns, and still just scared of being in the world with the rest of us
The internet completely broke me in the last few years bc I just don't believe this. Anyone can post a screen grab of a pivot table and claim whatever they want, doesn't make it true (I do believe you've never used it, I haven't either)
Interesting distraction from the fact that the person you're sharing is an obvious online grifter. Of course they're not rich, that's what the grifting is for
Too bad NPR is still wasting it pushing GOP bad faith talking points and asking Dems to respond as if truth is up for debate or just going "hmmm, interesting" when they let GOP lie on air
Fruit and nut snack packs and granola bars are always in my bag for all day events for this exact reason
Did he leave Wolves staff? Or is this just wishful thinking
I get that. Especially in current age of engagement being priority. Part of why I appreciate pragmatic view
Definitely appreciate the work. It's just so funny how everyone seems to have forgotten about them. Everyone's list in west seems to be: OKC Den, Hou LAC, GS, LAL Spurs
This is definitely a grifter. It's actually almost comical if it wasn't so dangerous
I think you're the only journalist/podcaster that seems to recognize the Wolves made it to wcf two years in a row
Reminder: Just because you saw something on Tik Tok does not make it original, a trend, or news
Fateh got DFL endorsement from less than 600 caucus delegates while general will likely have +130k voters casting ballot Caucus votes aren't necessarily indicative of general here and there's no primary, it's rank choice for general Media is making comparison mostly to get Dems to fight each other
Golden opportunity to coin a new term for "sells image of being wildly supported from grass roots, but really it's just from some internet randos and has a few donors that can actually vote for them" I'd still call it astro turfing, but that's me
I mean this seriously, you should look into therapy. Take care
