  1. Context - this is sarcasm. I just watched a clip of the tiny nazi Charlie what's his name totally melting down on Megin Kelly's show. if you want to watch the midget nazi having a melt down about that ad, here's a link. I'd dl it and post it but they seem to format like shit. https://bsky.app/profile/bubbaprog.ilovecitr.us/post/3l7stu2zfa62f
  2. The most important reason of all is that we need to beat fascism. Not only beat it but give it a big fucking kick in the mouth.
  3. Reminds me a little of this https://www.the-independent.com/life-style/ai-angus-steakhouse-reddit-london-b2638158.html Angus Steakhouse controversy proves that we can’t sleepwalk into a world controlled by AI ... People proclaiming that it’s ‘the BEST steakhouse in London’ are playing Google for a fool and winning. Hats off to them, says Helen Coffey – it illustrates the danger of our impending descent into a dystopian world where human experience is replaced by bots and algorithms
  4. The hearing on this charge, running an illegal lottery, got moved up to tomorrow morning and Elmo was ordered to appear.
  5. Hmmmm...not paying workers, threatening to leave them stranded if they didn't meet their goals? Interstate transfer/kidnapping? Is that an indictable offense?
  6. Kamala is just so incredibly genuine and nice. That's all.
  7. Unsubstantiated report "BARSTOOL is shittalking Vance and calling him a weirdo. It's over. If you've lost the conservative sports bros you got nobody except discord server creeps left."
  8. NYU journalism prof - real talk.
  9. Thanks to xitter formatting it looks like he's endorsing putting the orange dotard on the moon. I usually get annoyed when people who paste from xitter don't post the full text but in this case I'm grateful you spared us, however inadvertent it may have been.
  10. Repped for the last joke. "Foreigners are destroying American jobs." "That's true!" "Did you know that just one illegal immigrant caused 6,000 people to lose their jobs at twitter?"
  11. The Nate Cohn article linked above is unintentionally hilarious. "Turnout has never mattered, I always laugh about it when someone brings it up, but somehow this election I kind of feel differently about it." Fuck him, his Siena polls and his insidious create-the-narrative coverage.
  12. Didn't expect to encounter a grammar flex esp on something obscure. wtf. Merriam, ya know, Webster says fuck off. Someone finally showed him the real internals. It's an absurd ruling, faithless to the law. But it covers a tiny amount of voters - 1,600. The state also allows same day voting so it can be cured. Perhaps it's a signal of things to come. Perhaps it's the 6 traitors on the Court throwing him a bone.
  13. Can you imagine what 75,000 people could do at the Capitol? (Jan 6 had 20k less)
  14. If you want to read a short, good and easy to understand article about polling I recommend https://goodauthority.org/news/election-poll-vote2024-data-pollster-choices-weighting/ written by a Vandy prof who specializes in polling. He explains why four basic choices pollsters have to make heavily effects the results of every poll. He uses a poll from last week to show how reasonable choices a pollster makes can impact the results they finally present by 8% points, which is larger than the margin of error. . "This election year, are the polls virtually tied because voters are tied, because pollsters think the race is tied, or both?"
  15. I don't believe this meme has made it over here yet. (?) If that one is too subtle, here's another.
  16. Thanks for this. That was great. Withers has always been one of my favorites. The story in the podcast the guy had about his interest in kids who stutter was touching. Withers has said he didn't stop stuttering until he realized he'd never develop the courage to quit the Navy if he didn't stop stuttering. For the cover of his first album he met the photographer on his lunch hour. The lunch pail he's holding is the one he took to work that day, at an airline parts manufacturer, just like a normal day. Bill Withers came out of nowhere to record that album. And if you're old enough to know what a 45 is, "Ain't No Sunshine" was the B side that became a hit. When he recorded it, he hadn't yet finished the lyrics, that's how new he was to the business. And that's why he sings "I know" over and over. It was just a place holder, or meant to be, Withers thought. But the producer liked it so they shipped the record with it like that. Thankfully he was smart enough to keep the publishing rights for the music he wrote, and also not give up any portion of the writing credits, so even though the music business fucked him around he did extremely well. He wrote and recorded some of the best music ever. RIP. link didn't work, figured it out http://i.imgur.com/wkS3nqp
  17. this is a c&p from the editor, just so ya know I didn't translate it I translated the epic Bad Bunny video into English for non-Spanish speakers, I didn't really catch some of the names or other words but did my best
