Reporters need to focus on helping us understand the candidates issues for governance. Porter is running for office. Reporter is asking about campaign strategies. Why is that more important? 2nd video- why does that person keep getting into her shots?

Both the politico video and the other one show a person trying to do their job. Does anyone here remember what she was talking about ? No. Our attention is being pulled away from that to some other point. Niceness. I might also add.... I prefer the fighter and demander to the nice lady. ( she is)

It's not about losing our workers. It's about losing ourselves.

I think a better question is what will it like to live in a society after people have been encouraged to behave with absolutely no morality. Allowed to break down doors and snatch and beat elders, rip children away, beat women down. After they have been encouraged to do this and we have seen it...

SOYBEAN FARMER SOUNDS OFF: Trump’s trade war is crushing farmers. Now Trump is giving $20B to Argentina—the same country taking much of America’s soybean market.

Soybeans are the no. 1 cash crop in Tennessee.

So congress voted to use that money for the bailout? Isn't that how it is supposed to work?

What about people who have a subscriber base? This is different from people who are hired by someone or something else. Isn't it?

Still not going to read this even if it looks interesting.

I've listened to a few city council meetings where this topic is discussed. Some people feel this is an unnecessary obstruction to progress. 👀🙄

I learn something new every time he speaks. Even after a tired "asked 1000x" leading nowhere positive or informative question.

Love that little flourish at the end . 'Cause we ARE better. 🤭

It's being places you are fully qualified to be in but feeling as though somehow you fooled everyone or fooled yourself to get in there. It's not an approach to get ahead, it's a mental barrier to manage. I doubt it ever goes away- we just need to learn how to dial the sound down.

Thanks for taking one for the team.

I wish he would start from here. Right now - if you try to order furniture from NC. It is a 12week wait. Their capacity dissolved - was it around 2008? Not sure - that's when the associated textiles industry died here.

Is it only me or do I detect that
Klein discovered that writing objectionable, indefensible op-eds leads to more coverage, more views and wider reach? Suddenly, I am seeing him in a lot more places.

cathryna.bsky.social @cathryna.bsky.social · 12d

Klein never seemed enlightened by Mr. Coates remarks. He seemed untroubled by the criticism of his positions. I felt he should have been ashamed to speak so theoretically about real things. I suppose skin thickens with entitlement.

Many, many talking heads claim they don't know what will happen with the algorithm.
