really nice article
He's resigned himself to paying prices he never would have two years ago. But he's still angry that companies are able to charge those high prices, because higher earners can afford them. "Society sets prices for them, not us. They can afford it. We're struggling to live in their economy," he said, referring to higher-income Minnesotans. "It's not my economy."

“Do you really think that we would talk about $3 billion dollar investments and be one of the largest companies in our space if we really weren't doing what we're doing?"
While Napster is now alleging it is a victim, Forbes raised concerns about both the investor and the firm months ago. It all started in January when the company, then called Infinite Reality, reached out to Forbes announcing its $3 billion financing round. It emailed again on February 11, this time pitching Acunto, who then had a 12% stake in the Boca Raton, Florida-based company, as a "prime candidate" for Forbes' billionaires list. Facing an audience at a live event in Los Angeles in February, he exhorted: "Do you really think that we would talk about $3 billion dollar investments and be one of the largest companies in our space if we really weren't doing what we're doing?" In that call he also boasted about how much wealth the company had created for its shareholders. "We have over 600 millionaires," Acunto claimed.

TIL the billboard guy named the super bowl.
What she meant by "cheap appeal" is unclear. We're only left to guess, because, of course, she didn't expand on that. But apparently, Hunt is qualified to speak on this because her grandfather, Lamar Hunt, coined the name "Super Bowl." "When my grandfather named the Super Bowl, he intended it to be something children and families of all ages could come together and watch," she said.

Sorry, no….its not. Many of us will never forgive her for lynching Al Franken. That was a contrived right-wing hit job pushed by a disingenuous partisan hack former model who decided to weaponize a joke photo from decades ago. We lost a progressive warrior because of Dem self flagellation.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Obviously, we want more immigrants, it’s one of our founding principals, but we also don’t want things to happen that will set support for more immigration back in the long term

All that said, Twitter only allows editing in the 1st hour, so not easily done.

Tierra Walker began experiencing serious health issues @ 5 weeks pregnant and constantly asked doctors if she should terminate the pregnancy. She died @ 20 weeks pregnant due to preeclampsia(!) after 15 weeks of horrific health issues.

this woman was tortured to death by the state of texas
Carson watched over her during the day and her aunt Latanya Walker took the night shift. She was panicked that her tough niece, whose constant mantra was "quit your crying," now seemed defeated. One evening, during Walker's third hospitalization, when she was about 9 weeks pregnant, she told Latanya she'd had a vision during a seizure: Her grandmother and aunt, who had died years earlier, were preparing a place for her on the other side. "You better tell them you're not ready to go," Latanya said. "I don't know how much more I can take of this," Walker whispered.

I didn’t know about this publication and this article is good. This whole thing is so gut-wrenching.
Another family member, waiting to hear updates on her cousin at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, said the released Bro-Tex workers notified other families of the operations. "A lot of these people have been working here for over 20 years," she said. "So they all know each other."
