twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

It's really not lmao, horseshoe theory is a deeply unserious idea. It's a pop science meme only believed by people experiencing the Dunning-Kruger effect.

No, I'm not, because it's a deeply stupid comment based on a deeply stupid concept that has been shown time and again not to be borne out by reality. Why would I engage?

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

i.e. in August they secured £10bn for this year, with a promise of a further £90bn over the course of the next decade, assuming Blackstone don't change their mind.

They could mention that £100bn of it was pledged over 10 years, for a start.

The actual policy paper publication includes a spreadsheet of investment totals. At least half of the figure appears to be referring to this from Blackstone - so not actually invested, just "pledged" over 10 years.
