They are right, the amount of people supported by a project embracing Tokyo should be double the current plan.

TKO being so morally bankrupt that they make an argument for the McMahons somehow being the more moral owners of that company which is extremely damning.

I will not support a primary challenge against Chuck Tingle.

Why @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @chucktingle.bsky.social et al won't is clear: they THINK their reelection is locked up. They know the Americans who care don't have another option. And the second level leadership in the party is doing what they did with Biden: pretending nothing is wrong!

I assure you there is a non-trivial amount of the social media population who finds me exasperating and enervating when I show up unbidden in their feeds. I strongly encourage them to mute or block me. No one who finds me annoying here should have to deal with me! Expunge me! Be free of me!

What kinda sad, sad person would be better off without you in their feed? My day is slightly darkened by the thought.

It's apparently antisemitic to point out that Bari Weiss has no reporting experience?

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 13h

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish:

"This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."

Because cost increases are outpacing government investment so a they have to show they are increasing farebox revenue to be able to request more support from voters and/or governments.

they dont need subscribers, the value in owning the post is getting to say “according to the washington post the only hope for civilization is tax cuts for the rich and private prisons and charter schools”

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

This is because you decided to take a conditioning stint in the minors before stepping up to the majors. If you’d just gone straight to running for CA Governor then you would have made the list.

As someone who has lost their personal book collection to fire, ebooks are wonderful just for the ability to not lose your books in a fire thanks to cloud storage.

There's no functional distinction between audiobooks, ebooks, and paper books.

Being dismissive of any format is ableist.

the more I read about the promises OpenAI has made, the more disgusted I am. They've promised to deploy 10GW of Broadcom chips *by the end of 2029*, a chip that has yet to tape out, in data centers yet to be planned or funded or the power acquired. We are in a black hole of ethics and good sense.

I always have a soft spot for A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and then once you’ve gotten enough traditional Broadway, go watch Reefer Madness (the showtime movie not the 1930s movie the musical is mocking) and Repo: the Genetic Opera for some beautiful unhinged shows
