    This guy works for the Sunday Times and The Guardian. The time stamp got cut accidentally but it was posted about 2 hours ago.

    This is the Musk thread and some things just happened in the UK involving Musk, which drove off the more educated, compassionate and empathetic from his site. Huge numbers of posters with lots of followers. Nobody told you to go follow them on bluesky. However, your obliviousness is clear and your anger about it is noted.

    hahaha "Thanks chiefly to the legacy Twitter LBO debt, Barclays senior M&A team were informed last year their annual compensation would shrink by 40% over the previous year. The cut was so severe that almost a quarter of the bank’s 200-plus managing directors quit once they had collected it."

    Harris-Walz rally in Milwaukee tonight, same stage as the RNC used. Harris scheduled to speak at 7. The rally is supposed to be wrapped up before 9pm. Meanwhile the DNC is beginning at 5:30 a half hour earlier than last night due to the runover. It's rollcall tonight and here's the speakers a bit before and after 9 pm

    I'm unconvinced there's any viewers of Fox News who have enough of a brain to understand logic and reason. A Democratic politician going on Fox News is doing them the favor of helping them put a "fair and balanced" facade on top of their dishonest, endless diarrhea of extremist rhetoric. edit - I'd love to be proven wrong.

    The "Election Rumor Research" team (at the UW Center for an Informed Public) just set up a new Substack to help communicate rapid analyses of rumors related to election administration and election integrity: https://uwcip.substack.com/p/the-center-for-an-informed-publics They will feature rapid analyses of how emerging rumors about voting and election administration are spreading across social media platforms as well as insights into broader patterns in election rumors (e.g. the network structure of online influence, common techniques of content manipulation).

    As LBJ observed, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." The meaning of "conservative" began disappearing from the gop's values in the days of Nixon. Reagan and the "moral majority" began the evisceration of the remainder. Once Newt took control it all became about power and control, solely, for that party.

    A former Washington Post reporter's dismantling of the political press. The full article is well worth a read. Link at bottom. https://newrepublic.com/article/184990/pundit-brained-media-democratic-convention

    Scientific American with an interesting perspective about debate style. They say Trump's style -- bullying and rapid lies -- are a form of debate known as the Gish gallop, defined in the para below. They then discuss how to counter it. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trumps-weird-debate-strategies-come-from-creationist-tactics/

    What they're doing is focusing on common values, which SOUND conservative, though it's easy to make the case the Q party no longer believes in them. The Democrats have always believed in "conservative" values but far too often in past campaigns and debates they've focused on how they're going to solve various problems.

    Harris and her team were not happy with Biden for putting her in charge of the S America border task force. There definitely were some hard feelings within the Administration over that.
  15. Chopper
    Biden ranks somewhere among the top of our greatest presidents. He's done a phenomenal job especially considering he was dealt a particularly horrible hand.
  16. Chopper
    To whatever extent she orchestrated pushing out Biden, she did him a favor. And the country.

    Maybe, maybe not. There's no certainty. The polls are bullshit. Don't believe the polls.

    I watched it a few minutes ago just after reading your post and knowing what words were coming, I still gasped hard.

    Pro-pedo for a long, long time. Joe Paterno at the RNC, what a creep.
