Get back to us when China *actually* builds them. All of the European ones have been like fifteen years late and 10 billion over budget.

Was ist daran "Stilblüte"? Das kann man durchaus so sagen.
Redneck foreign policy.
This thread is an interesting, and, I believe, succinct summary of what’s going on.
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
You're right. There *was* a backlash, but it was over Ticketmaster's botched sales, and not over dynamic pricing.
Fair point. She used it in 2018 and again briefly in 2023, before abandoning it.
AFAIK, she DID use it for the Eras tour — which is to say, she initially *tried* to. It was only after that blew up in her and her fans' faces that she opted out.
sorry, that should read, "not least". We consider her one of the Good Guys™.
Who‘s talking about „evil“? We all know Ticketmaster are a massive hulk of shit. So is dynamic pricing. Swift got in on it early, so she was on board with evil shit, even if they probably sold it to her for the „right“ reasons (allegedly discouraging scalpers). She eventually changed her mind. Good.
Oh no, she is rightly a hero — not in the least to artists. Being in a position where her catalogue was sold out from under her, and she could simply re-record it all AND mobilise her fans to only play the new "Taylor's versions" is one of the greatest "fuck you"'s to the industry, ever.
Ah, so you're agreeing with @hunterw.bsky.social Good on ya.

Wait, now you're switching to arguing about who *invented* it? Facts: — Dynamic pricing and its variation "slow ticketing" have been available since at least 2018. — The Taylor Swift "Reputation" tour was the first time many people heard about it. — Ticketmaster weren't the first to use it.
It's kind of irrelevant WHY dynamic pricing was implemented. I'm sure Ticketmaster had a whole book of great arguments to sell it to artists. Look, I get it: Swift is one of the Good Guys™. I agree. But she did get on board with the wrong shit early on, even if for the right reasons.
Just to clarify: @hunterw.bsky.social said that Taylor Swift used her celebrity status to pioneer dynamic pricing. Which she did, back in 2018. It *is* fair to note that she's reversed her stance and fought for the right to opt out, since then. Also, this is not a news site.
So, yeah: she did use dynamic pricing in 2018, with prices dropping over time as initial demand fell. Thanks for the link!
Hang on: YOU're the one who felt the need to call @hunterw.bsky.social a "Liar!" for noting that Taylor Swift pioneered dynamic pricing. Which she did, back in 2018.
It's right here, from 2018: www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/tay...
Agreed. Let's not report on anything else, ever again, until gun control in the U.S. — no wait, the war in Ukraine — no wait, the Middle East conflict — no wait, global warming has been solved. Especially if Barb from Oregon might feel uneasy about finding out things about her favourite celebrity.
Yes, we all know that she finally rejected and even fought Dynamic Pricing in 2023, but FROM 2018 UNTIL 2023, SHE WAS USING IT. This article is from 2018: www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/tay... "That’s because Swift has adopted “dynamic pricing”"
"WHY ARE YOU WRITING ABOUT A SUBJECT THAT I'M TOUCHY ABOUT AND NOT ABOUT THIS OTHER RANDOM SUBJECT THAT YOU'LL PROBABLY BE POSTING ABOUT TOMORROW!!?!1!?"

No, a "backlash" is exactly what it was after Ticketmaster's system not only completely crashed under the load of sales, but early sales were cancelled AND people could no longer get tickets for those prices.

She allowed dynamic pricing from 2018 until she finally opted out in 2023, after backlash.
Taylor Swift in fact allowed dynamic pricing from 2018 until she opted out in 2023, after backlash.
She allowed dynamic pricing from 2018 until she opted out in 2023, after backlash.

"unusual" is doing a LOT of work, here. As usual.
Die Werbung wird doch nach *deinem* Surfverhalten getargeted…?
Dass bei uns die Alarmglocken läuten ist vermutlich ein großer Faktor, warum er überhaupt gewählt wird. Die Sensiblen, Aufmerksamen, Nachdenklichen Pussies zu "ownen" als Weg in die selbstgemachte Katastrophe, a.k.a. Spacken mit Sonnenbrille und "Fuck you Greta" T-Shirts auf unseren Straßen…
on…the handling of classified information??? 😂😂😂
So…about those Epstein files...
Ehhhhhhh the global price of coffee has about doubled since 2021. This is due to global climate change causing catastrophic weather events and destroying crops. Trump's tariffs may be nuts, but this is not an example. This is an example for why his fossil and environmental policies are nuts.
Obvious news has been obvious for a decade.
Note that it was impossible for a Westerner to even get a visa unless the trip was organised through Inturist. There are plenty of reasons to assume subversion, but that fact alone is not one of them.
Propaganda show with no actual result? You don't say. Who'da thunk?
Und gerade gestern ist dieser Song erschienen... It's whatever fits It's the Avant Garde And it doesn't mean shit It's the Avant Garde — David Byrne, "Avant Garde"
Methinks that's the point.
Oh wow. I lost track at some point, apparently. 😅
Yes, I know. Wasn’t “The Tombs of Atuan” the fourth book? Gosh. Need to re-read. It’s been thirty+ years!
Le Guin’s Earthsea Trilogy ❤️
Meh. Who cares? Brawndo’s got what plants crave!
I think it's time to stop pretending that "Trump" is executing this plan. He's just signing hundreds of random (to him) executive orders shoved in his face and engaging various royal fantasies, while stuffing his pockets.
Ums Tachodisplay geht es dabei m.W. nicht, sondern ums Infotainment-Display. Das ist von minderer Relevanz.
4chan is running the government
NO! He's agreeing with YOU. We don't agree with Nazis. Ever.
It won’t matter six months from now.
Out-Denglished! Bam! 💥
Mit Verlaub: ich bin nicht sicher, welche Position Du innehast, aber aus meiner Sicht helpt hier gerade gar nix von dem, was wir hier schreiben, in a Berufungsverfahren. But it helps with Klarkommen.
Ihrer eigenen, oder der ihr durch andere zugeschriebenen? Wir wissen doch alle, dass Frauen gar nicht sachlich argumentieren *können*…
Nein, eine prodemokratische. Schließlich geht es doch auch um die vierte Säule? Sorry, wenn ich aus Deiner Sicht das Thema verfehlt habe.
Wenn das den Unterschied zwischen Gewaltenteilung und Einflussnahme des rechten Mobs macht, ist unsere Demokratie bereits verloren.
Wo kämen wir denn hin, wenn Frauen sich plötzlich wehren dürften!?
Sorry — didn't mean to sound like I was disagreeing. I think you're onto something, but that it's a little more differentiated than that. I think you meant the same thing.
no. It's *engagement*. Difference. Engagement is what makes algorithms tick — "entertainment" has a positive effect on the consumer's state of mind. Engagement, not necessarily.
I'm over fifty, and I *still* don't understand Fox' reaction. To most anything.
Ooooch
this shouldn't just prompt a resignation, it's almost like negligent homicide if any of those people died
Whoopsie!
haha autsch
This is a real tweet from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Ich hab meinen Akustikkoppler grad verliehen… muss ich vom Steuerberater zurück holen, aber da ist immer besetzt…
Seit wann gibt’s fünfstellige Postleitzahlen? Und wie krieg ich die übers Faxgerät angewählt?
Lustigerweise hab ich’s erst so richtig begriffen, als wir im Herbst in New York waren und durch den Flushing Meadows Park in Queens gelaufen sind (da wo die UFOs am Schluss von MiB abheben). Die Grünflächen waren *übersät* von Flaschendeckeln. Ansonsten frei von Müll — nur Myriaden dieser Kappen.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reasons to believe that Donald Trump is a fool. But the fact that it took almost a decade for him to figure out that Putin has been playing him for one is as good as any.
grok seems like a drunk guy at a party and as the bully getting him to say stuff at the same time
Holy shit.
Wow, danke!
Ah, did Musk finally succeed in turning Grok into a raging bigot? His failure to do so was one of the few sources of amusement left on the internet…
Oh shit. Das sieht nach einem Rabbit-Hole aus, wo ich noch nicht war… Danke! :: taucht ab::
Sorry, blöde Frage: "KiNC"?
The only silver lining is that Putin makes it crystal clear just how many fucks he gives about anything Tr*mp wants, says, or does: zero. The ultimate humiliation for the guy who fathoms himself Dictator of the Most Powerful Nation on Earth™.
Puh. Guttenberg? Das Schwiegerbaby - Dings äh hier mit den Amis, der korrupte Sack, der aussieht wie 16… der war aber schnell wieder da
Häh? Der ist doch in der CDU! Der wird dann bis Jahresende Verkehrsminister oder Verteidigungsminister. Oder irgendwas.
Oh je. Dann wird er wohl gehen müssen. Spätestens zum Jahresende ist er dann Verkehrsminister.
It's HIS. THEIRS is "Handmaid's Tale".
DAY ONE. …in about two weeks.
Already got the unused car sitting there… "Everything's computer!" is about the level of "It's got electrolytes!" It all checks out.
About time he got a real job!
Ach so, ja klar. Let’s normalise this shit. Don’t worry, move along, nothing to see here.
Rhetorische Frage? Dass JD Vance in einer Investmentfirma von Thiel angefangen und danach seine eigene mit Kapital von Thiel aufgezogen hat, bevor der ihm eine Senatskandidatur gekauft und als Vize eingesetzt hat, ist doch allgemein bekannt.
„Frühsexualisierung“ ist ein Kampfbegriff der Rechten, um queere Bildung zu diffamieren. Dabei geht es um Sichtbarkeit, Aufklärung und Würde – nicht um Verwirrung. @marcelhopp.bsky.social bringt es auf den Punkt: Bildung schützt, wenn sie Vielfalt zeigt. Nicht, wenn sie schweigt. #LGTBQ #QueerRights
Steuer Schlupflöcher hat jemand konstruiert, DAMIT sie genutzt werden. Das sind ja keine Zufälle oder Fehler. Außerdem setzt er sich ausdrücklich dafür ein, sie abzuschaffen.
Not *just* for a tax cut. The bill also turns ICE into one of the best-funded armies.
Not AI. This is a real tweet from a Republican congressman from Wisconsin. The cruelty is the point.
He ate them.
Framing investigative journalism as criminal is just the next step in destroying free press.
History will forget most of that. History will remember today as the day enabling an American Gestapo.
Yeah, but deporting just ONE random single mother frees up three whole jobs! OPPORTUNITIES ARE LIMITLESS
Everyone *else*, yeah.
Who is "they"? THEY don't care about higher prices. Their *constituents* might, but those only matter as long as elections count.
Well, get a better job that lets you save up for potential medical emergencies, duh! Dummy.
Äh…während der Pandemie WAR das ein oft gehörter Scherz. Nicht zu fassen, dass dieselben Trottel ihn uns jetzt wirklich für bare Münze zurückverkaufen wollen…
Warum sollte er sich einen Dreck scheren um all den Quatsch, den er so erzählt, wenn es politisch opportun erscheint, ihn zu erzählen?
