Locking in for oral arguments on the big voting rights case at the Supreme Court.

The next two hours or so will be... incredibly bad.

That’s the peculiar thing. When my Nats were actually competitive in the NL East the rivalry w the Braves & Mets was as intense as any but it was all on the field. I can’t recall any side needing to troll anyone. Kind of an “act like you’ve been there before” mentality.

What do you make of this insipid “Fly the L” business? I think it would have embarrassed Uecker to punch down like this.

Disagree. Poor people have more common sense and decency. He’s a stupid man’s idea of a rich man.

Coal was destroyed by capitalism. Pure & simple. There’s no other answer. better, cheaper, cleaner forms of energy replaced it. It’s never, ever coming back.

Like Atari 2600s, VHS technology, carburetors and any number of other technologies that were popular in the 1980s but can no longer compete, it’s a waste of time and taxpayer resources to try and bring back coal. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

6x as many people work in solar energy than in the coal industry. Screw these guys.

What do you think Disney accountants estimate the lifetime revenue value is of a customer?

Paul Meloan @paulmeloan.bsky.social · 16d

Someone with greater insight can peg how much the lifetime revenue value is per customer. I’m gonna guess it’s at least $1k, making this a hit to the Mouse of at least $1 billion in total revenue.

Perhaps the people who have never acted in good faith a single time in the last decade should decide to give something up first? Heaven forbid. GTFO with this nonsense.
