  1. The following 10 cities: Pittsburgh New York City Philadelphia Baltimore Greensboro Atlanta Detroit Milwaukee Minneapolis Grand Rapids are the entirety of the JUST announced October tour by Stevie Wonder. He hasn't appeared in Michigan in many years. I think he may have something in mind. https://www.mlive.com/life/2024/09/stevie-wonder-to-perform-rare-concerts-in-grand-rapids-and-detroit.html
  2. As I understand it, Rupert has two arguments. All trustees will benefit because Lachlan will preserve the right wing tilt and Fox News will only do well if it's operating as a wing of the far right. Also, the lack of agreement between the trustees will lead to rudderless leadership which itself will degrade the asset. It doesn't seem possible that these arguments could fly but who knows, it's some NV probate judge making the decision.
  3. If he had stopped at calling himself a Nazi it would probably have been a news cycle or two and the R party would have shrugged its shoulders en masse. But openly expressing a desire for slavery, that will capture numerous headlines. To be clear though slavery is what the GOP wants; it's just that they typically advocate for it using much more complicated methods - harsher prisons, debt prisons, illegalizing being homeless, allowing corporate landlords unlimited rights, endorsing police brutality and their ability to be above the law, and removing tenant rights, etc etc etc.
  4. Team Mutiny would also work.
  5. The trust is irrevocable but for a narrow provision if he can convince the court he's acting in the best faith of all of its named beneficiaries. It's a roll of the dice and certain to be appealed no matter which side wins at trial.
  6. Breaking: Diaper Don campaign released a statement about Kari Lake
  7. Yes, trial in Las Vegas just underway. Rupert wants to bust the family trust and give Fox to Lachlan. The two offspring (son and daughter) are suing because he shouldn't legally be able to bust the Trust.
  8. The NC candidate supposedly being an avowed and confirmed Holocaust denier and now there's information supposedly about to drop that he referred to himself a Nazi does nothing for me. It's the same damn thing. But here we are. Taniel is very legit, founder of Bolts Magazine, very active political and poll analyst. https://businessnc.com/upcoming-cnn-story-has-robinson-on-defense/ (edit - he's also one of the best follows on any election night)
  9. SIAP it wasn't a majority of the union it was the majority who responded to some poll, per the head of the Union. He seems to be the only one who knows the results of the poll and didn't divulge how many people responded.
  10. Thank you for your service
  11. also he conditions the result on "without flipping a single county"
  12. AP has some interesting detail about yesterday's pager explosions
  13. Yeah, hopefully there's no collateral damage because bombing a funeral is dirty af.
  14. Toropets had the highest safety rating for storage of bombs and missiles:
  15. Fuckin' Elon lost some weight, huh?
  16. Going to share (complimentary free link below) an article by Josh Marshall. It's a small morale boost for those who, me included, are stressed and anxious about the election. I have a csb about the 3 old school pollsters he mentions at the top but no time to tell it right now. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/maybe-it-wont-be-that-close/sharetoken/af3d20bf-2efd-4a68-8d36-cd82326f8f29
  17. Mike Masnick has a deeper understanding and more thoughtful review of the new book. This is the conclusion. here https://www.techdirt.com/2024/09/17/twitters-pre-musk-plans-mirrored-elons-vision-until-he-abandoned-trashed-or-ignored-them/
  18. wasn't pw'd for me...I'd tell you how to get around it but... thanks for the dickish behavior.
  19. Just 2 out of 11 sample wtf moments from Character Limit https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/how-elon-musk-destroyed-twitter-wtf-character-limit-book-1235099284/ edit - they put it behind the pw after I linked it. Here's a unpw'd link https://archive.ph/u5qcI (don't tell tony it's here, thx)
  20. Getting too many texts is a thing. Also pagers comm systems are more reliable, and a pager is more durable than a phone. Per doctor friend.
  21. FT
  22. Yes this is apparently as close to the definition of a targeted attack as it gets.
  23. supply chain probably compromised, rather than a cyber attack https://www.wired.com/story/pager-explosion-hezbollah/
  24. This is probably in the Ted Cruz thread already but no reason it can't be here too
