  1. I don't have an opinion one way or the other about the facts of this civil matter. It's entirely he said/she said and until there's evidence in court, pretending like any of it is significant seems like a giant waste of anyone's time. I've taken a very slight interest in it due to the intersection of media and law. Also I recoil at the misogyny on display and there's been been quite a lot of it in this thread - which quite honestly I've read/seen far more about the case in this thread than I have anywhere else. I find a little joy in yanking some chains when I come across a conspicuous article. You came across as defensive to me because while 80 percent of the posts on xitter are inorganic you were talking about bluesky as though it's even comparable, and the post you quoted from is from a relatively large pop culture account for bluesky, but as you could plainly see it has only ~49 likes. It seemed a bit incongruous to me. Trolls don't get the same traction on bluesky - they can't artifically boost their reach there as they so easily can on xitter. Perhaps you're unaware. Respectfully though, from what I've seen here siding with Baldoni takes no courage.
  2. If you're wishing to yourself in the privacy of your own brain, it's perfectly okay. Perhaps focus your private loathing on
  3. How about you go have a look? There's zero traction for pop culture on bluesky. The vapid people are on xitter, yt and tiktok. And the bots are on yt and xitter, as well. What has you feeling so defensive anyway?
  4. yes
  5. "Everyone online hates Blake Lively. My boy Justin is so much more beloved than that nasty bitch!" Researcher: The support for Baldoni is almost entirely slop from right-wing controlled bots. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/may/06/misogyny-slop-it-ends-with-us-america-rightwing-blake-lively-justin-baldoni
  6. I'm sure a little PR spin will help xitter as it circles the drain. I don't know about the math here - I count closer to a 67% decline in total visits. In just 3 months.
  7. You're thinking what I was thinking. He has a handlebar mustache though.
  8. Not sure if anybody is interested but this is a 2002 USPS truck. Neighbor is from NC and is a bbq hobbyist and professional chemist who's working to start a side gig selling bbq in Fort Collins.
  9. When the Dogefuhrer goes for a walk...
  10. https://archive.is/XuAv9 - link - Financial Times article Americans want to move to Europe — but just how easy is it? ‘Fires, guns and Trump’ are among the catalysts spurring US citizens to consider a move across the pond. Inquiries, applications and house buying are accelerating — but the shifting sands of red tape mean the relocation follow-through is a slower trickle
  11. It's at the very top of reddit popularity this morning. I'd love for it to have great implication but not living in Mansfield or knowing how this election went, I'm hesitant to do so.
  12. Turns out, some Chinese people are just as stupid as some Americans. Then there's the issue of, perhaps inadvertently, helping to elevate China's desire to dominate global affairs.
  13. Depending on what time your flight arrives in Tokyo and especially if you're in a lay flat seat, or how well you travel, you might consider the possibility of going straight to Kanazawa, Takayama or even Kyoto instead and staying your first night elsewhere than TYO. That way you'd eliminate an entire day of traveling to and checking into a hotel in Tokyo. If your flight arrives at Noon you could easily be in a different city by 5 pm. It may sound grueling but besides streamlining the schedule, I found it helps to adjust to the new time zone because you'll avoid napping/sleeping that'll screw up your inner clock. I only spent a day in Fukoka and I enjoyed it but depending on the goal of your trip I don't know if it's worth going there when so much of your entire journey would be checking into a hotel one day and then out again just one or 2 days later. I was there on a Sunday though and it was pretty sleepy so I might not have the most brilliant perspective - it just seemed like a place I'd rather spend, say, 5 nights and really explore rather than a quick hit. I don't see it being as full of highlights as any of the other stops on your planned journey.
  14. imo it's his injuries but I don't really know - only thing that makes sense.
  15. I'm sure the dude who wore a clown suit to the pope's funeral will release the epstein files any day now.
  16. There's a tweet from ~2019 from supposedly her account saying she'd never kill herself and that if she's found dead one day and it looks like suicide, that it was at the hands of "powerful people" who want to silence or get revenge on her.
  17. Once you've figured out how to adjust and use them, it's a loss to not have one available. Meanwhile countries like Portugal are still wasting a ton of valuable bathroom space by installing old school bidets in new builds, both hotels and residential. Makes no sense.
  18. Oof! Excluding regulatory credits, Tesla lost $175mm on a GAAP basis in Q1. A year ago that was a $963mm profit.
  19. "To recap, Wall Street analysts are looking for Tesla to report first-quarter adjusted earnings of 41 cents a share on sales of $21.3 billion." 19 CENTS PER SHARE
  20. Sorry that happened!! *TESLA 1Q ADJ EPS 27C, EST. 43C *TESLA 1Q REV. $19.34B, EST. $21.37B *TESLA: WILL REVISIT OUR 2025 GUIDANCE IN OUR Q2 UPDATE *TESLA: TARIFF LANDSCAPE TO HAVE A LARGER IMPACT ON ENERGY UNIT
  21. If your son doesn't go get a breakfast burrito at El Chile Torreado he's missing out on the best. (They may be closed over easter.)
  22. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/19/timothy-mcveigh-oklahoma-bombing-far-right-1995 The article goes a little bit into the co-conspirators who got away.
