Dems could start by investing in their own advocacy media platforms rather than throwing money at right wing media in the hopes they will be nice to them.

Republican policy positions are less popular than Democratic ones. Most people don't want religious oligarchy and this makes Republicans have fewer small- and large-dollar donors.

So they stretch the money through advocacy media. Every piece of the Republican ecosystem reinforces each other.

Graphic titled ‘Republican Ecosystem’ showing a circular flow among four groups: Donors, Campaigns, Advocacy Media, and Activists. Large arrows connect them in a continuous loop: Donors feed into Campaigns, Campaigns feed into Advocacy Media, Advocacy Media feed into Activists, and Activists feed back into Donors. An additional small arrow from Campaigns points outward to a box labeled ‘Mainstream Media.’ The diagram is credited to Matthew Sheffield / flux.community.

Graphic titled ‘Democratic Ecosystem’ showing a circular flow among four groups: Donors, Campaigns, Activists, and Advocacy Media. Large blue arrows form a loop connecting Donors to Campaigns, Campaigns to Activists, and Activists toward Advocacy Media, but the link from Advocacy Media back to Donors is small and incomplete. A large blue arrow extends from Campaigns to a gray box labeled ‘Mainstream Media.’ Below this cycle, a smaller red circle labeled ‘Republican Ecosystem’ interacts with the Mainstream Media box through two black arrows, with text noting media outlets such as Sinclair, Nexstar, TikTok?, CBS, Fox, and X.

Chainsaw Man movie was a lot more than I was expecting, I thought it was just going to be a few episodes strung together but it had excellent cinematography, storytelling, and a great soundtrack. 🕷️🕸️🦋

the only reason she's apologizing is because her grifting did not turn out to be profitable enough

i think it's a consequence of malls failing in the US that we don't have more mall based games

wish they would bring back reboot. that was always the superior ‘inside a computer’ show, where the user was the biggest existential threat

changing the tos to protect one terrible person specifically after the system correctly banned them definitely doesn't add confusion or inconsistencies though, let's memory hole that we did that.

Gavin could apologize by signing the bills that are on his desk right now, until he does that I will continue not to trust a word he says.

Huge props to Connor tho for pushing him on this tho
