Well it's also been pointed out drumpf is best buds with the editor of the national enquior and was behind their hit piece on Carson.. but this story does appear to have legs outside their reporting

Apparently former pro wrestler has tweeted a picture of his dingus. I haven't looked it up, but for the curious, it's out there.
Also, I quite enjoy the Cruz Sex Scandal deal that's going on right now. Twitter is blocked on my work laptop so I scroll through it on my phone.

I just found out that a venue I’ve been attending regularly for almost 15 years did this a little over half a year ago and it ruined my impression of them. Totally inexcusable and gross even if you are named Pollstar venue of the year on a regular basis. https://t.co/DGFIsbfw5a (https://t.co/DGFIsbfw5a)

Maybe that is why he does not post here anymore
Honestly Azaghal has some really high ideals that would be hard for anyone
I know about 10 years ago the Warner Theatre (live nation) already did this on all events(taking a cut of merch)
I don’t know much about this practice but it is hard for me to sympathize much with bands charging $30 for a shirt they pay $2 to make and losing a few bucks...however, it does suck for smaller acts...Dean Wareham said t shirt sales kept Luna afloat
But I don’t know how income generated by concerts is divided up...you have ticket sales, ticket charges, merch and bar/food...

LOL I'm probably less "least technical" and more "lazy and I'd rather have someone do it for me". That said, in this case, it was too good to pass up.

Shiit. I missed that as well. Now I have to wait a year to have a proper celebration.
-
how does one celebrate national opossum day? run one over, then cook it up?
-
I'm listening to possum, by phish. We have a ton in my yard at night. They so cute. And they eat up dem there bugs. Their feet are, precious.
-
Their feet are, precious.
yes, but those teeth - NASTY.
in MD, we had some in the backyard. weird creatures. seemed unafraid of humans, i practically had to kick one to get it to move away from our composter. here in WA, i only see them dead on the side of the road. a lot of them. hence my previous post...
-
hey...let's honor and not disrespect North America's only marsupial and one of the few mammals that lived during the dinosaurs time and still around today
TIL I learned the cute little buggers only live 2-4 years
Their feet are, precious.
another fun fact...have opposing thumbs on their hind legs!
-
hanother fun fact...have opposing thumbs on their hind legs!
Um...those aren't their thumbs.
-
hanother fun fact...have opposing thumbs on their hind legs!
Um...those aren't their thumbs.
Opossums have opposable thumbs on their hind feet which help them to grip branches and climb. They are the only non-primates with opposable thumbs. Opossums have the most teeth of any North American mammal.

hey...let's honor and not disrespect North America's only marsupial
we honor them, by eating them:
"Strachey's notes describe the opossum as a "beast in bigness of a pig and in taste alike,"
"The Virginia opossum was once widely hunted and consumed in the United States. Opossum farms have been operated in the United States in the past. Sweet potatoes were eaten together with the possum in America's southern area. South Carolina cuisine includes opossum, and President Jimmy Carter hunted opossums in addition to other small game. Raccoon, opossum, partridges, prairie hen, and frogs were among the fare Mark Twain recorded as part of American cuisine.
(weeeeeeki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opossum))
and one of the few mammals that lived during the dinosaurs time and still around today
not quite:
The study, to be published in PLoS One on Dec. 16, shows that peradectids, a family of marsupials known from fossils mostly found in North America and Eurasia, are a sister group of all living opossums.
(...)
Opossum-like peradectids first appeared on the continent about 65 million years ago, at the time of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which killed the dinosaurs.
(...)
The study also analyzes two 30-million-year-old skeletons of Herpetotheriidae, the sister group of all living marsupials.
Based on fossil evidence from the skull and two skeletons, the study's authors concluded the evolutionary split between the ancestor of opossums and the ancestor of all other living marsupials occurred at least 65 million years ago
(sciencedaily (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091215202320.htm))
so it's the ancestor of the opposum, not the opposum itself, that emerged after the dinosaur's extinction.
KNOW YOUR HISTORY IF YOU'RE GOING TO CLAIM TO BE A FAN.
(aside: for xmas, i'll be going to the closest point on land to the impact site of the meteor that caused the K/T extinction event - wo0t!)
-
not quite
but how many of the other loser mammals that people love can claim 65 million years of heritage
and jez, what's with all the facts, that's so last century
oh and trust me the hatred of Twain in with the Opossum fans is well documented
kinda sucks we now have to add Carter to that list

Pretty big news IMO
jack @jack
We’ve made the decision to stop all political advertising on Twitter globally. We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought. Why? A few reasons…
🧵
A political message earns reach when people decide to follow an account or retweet. Paying for reach removes that decision, forcing highly optimized and targeted political messages on people. We believe this decision should not be compromised by money.
.
While internet advertising is incredibly powerful and very effective for commercial advertisers, that power brings significant risks to politics, where it can be used to influence votes to affect the lives of millions.
·
Internet political ads present entirely new challenges to civic discourse: machine learning-based optimization of messaging and micro-targeting, unchecked misleading information, and deep fakes. All at increasing velocity, sophistication, and overwhelming scale.
·
These challenges will affect ALL internet communication, not just political ads. Best to focus our efforts on the root problems, without the additional burden and complexity taking money brings. Trying to fix both means fixing neither well, and harms our credibility.
·
For instance, it‘s not credible for us to say: “We’re working hard to stop people from gaming our systems to spread misleading info, buuut if someone pays us to target and force people to see their political ad…well...they can say whatever they want! 😉
·
We considered stopping only candidate ads, but issue ads present a way to circumvent. Additionally, it isn’t fair for everyone but candidates to buy ads for issues they want to push. So we're stopping these too.
·
We’re well aware we‘re a small part of a much larger political advertising ecosystem. Some might argue our actions today could favor incumbents. But we have witnessed many social movements reach massive scale without any political advertising. I trust this will only grow.
.
In addition, we need more forward-looking political ad regulation (very difficult to do). Ad transparency requirements are progress, but not enough. The internet provides entirely new capabilities, and regulators need to think past the present day to ensure a level playing field.
.
We’ll share the final policy by 11/15, including a few exceptions (ads in support of voter registration will still be allowed, for instance). We’ll start enforcing our new policy on 11/22 to provide current advertisers a notice period before this change goes into effect.
.
A final note. This isn’t about free expression. This is about paying for reach. And paying to increase the reach of political speech has significant ramifications that today’s democratic infrastructure may not be prepared to handle. It’s worth stepping back in order to address.

This video from Republicans for the Rule of Law has clocked more than a million views since we released it less than 24 hours ago. I'm re-posting it here in case you missed it, or if you might want to retweet or forward it. Or just to watch again and be, again, horrified by it.

no one would. not a motherfucking person, on twitter, would give up twitter for any reason what so ever.

I would never give up Twitter, how would I ever keep up with my favorite non influential musicians.. plus Tim’s Twitter listening parties rule... 51k tweets about The Look of Love during the ABC party today

I'm sure driving him batshit crazy...seems like a good thing for him to focus on "boo-hoo I can't tweet insane things" you know when the economy is in the tank, the jobless claims in the 30+ mil and ya know 100k dead. He is the president, act like one. Hold a press conference if you want your message to be heard. un-ducking-believable

Twitter says Trump's lies about Martin Gugino can't be taken down because he used a question mark in his tweet. That means Trump was just "speculating"

didn't jon steward have a bit about this, how fox news was free to say whatever the hell it liked as long as it made it a question? i seem to remember the example given on screen was a chyron reading "you mother is a whore?", and that as long as Fox News used a question mark they could insinuate anything they wanted no matter how false or preposterous it was...

Brent Terhune’s video always pop up in my feeds and I hadn’t watched one yet, but Roy Wood jr. posted about him and I finally watched one. OMG this one had me howling with laughter it so funny. And the best part is he gets dragged from both the left and right because people think he’s serious. He also does subtle things like drink his beer with two hands.

It's totally easy as some tech wiz created essentially a DVR for the listening parties where you can play see the key tweets in real time as they occurred, just start listening to the album and hit start on the replay page of your choice. I usually see the tweeting as they occur, just don't always have the albums on. Obviously to get the full effect one needs to follow the hashtag while it's live, but the replay feature is a good way to see the artist insights after the fact.

Well The Posies are finally doing a Twitter listening party for Frosting on a Beater on Monday... weird it took so long to schedule, but suspect they have a new album coming out soon so a good time to get their name out especially to a UK audience
And it will be a great double header as they being doing Michael Kiwanuka’s latest as well...
Joey Santiago and Matt Johnson have hosted great parties for The Pixies and The The albums. Still one of the best things going right now...

it's funny because i noticed Wally Palmer (the romantics and empty hearts) was on twitter and i'm thinking before I follow him lets see if there is anything cringe worthy from him as one bumps up against the occasional off putting viewpoint from rockers of a certain age... nothing but band related stuff from him

It’s going to be interesting to see who turns out to vote... the Trump strategy is to ignore everyone but the base and try to get more of this base to turn out... since only about half of people vote there are a lot of potential votes out there...however a lot of his potential voters are off the grid... not registered etc
This is why he spent an afternoon with Rush.

While the presidential election ballot counting goes on, Bloomberg notes that President Trump's special treatment on Twitter would end if he loses the election. As a world leader, Trump's tweets are not deleted and he cannot be banned for rule violations. Former leaders don't get the same exemptions, Twitter told the news service.

I feel like we didn’t focus enough on the fact that someone in the Trump campaign meant to schedule the “four seasons hotel” but definitely accidentally scheduled this “four seasons landscaping” store and they had to follow through with it. Veep was not this good. https://t.co/DTJIQGsKHG

Holy mother if god. I saw the original tweet but not the Followup.
-
Is that what actually happened? They meant the Four Seasons Hotel but messed up the announcement and had to do it at the landscape company?
-
Yes.
I mean, they messed up the booking. They announced their intended location, but had to change it when they realized they had booked the wrong "Four Seasons".
-
That’s amazing
-
This definitely needs more coverage. Such an apt metaphor for this presidency: promised something luxurious, delivered an industrial wasteland next door to a porn shop... And hoping their followers don't catch on to such an obvious eff up.
Best part was Rudy learning about the election being called for Joe while he was in the mic.

So the person posing as the sock puppet in the now suspended account is apparently Patti Labelle’s adoptive son? Juicy stuff happening in PA..

@danpfeiffer
People keep attributing the GOP's fealty to Trump's absurd fraud claims to cowardice and sensitivity to Trump's bruised ego. That's wrong. It is a specific political calculation that Trumpism is the best path forward for the party in Georgia and beyond
Trumpism is a billionaire-funded, racial grievance and misinformation fueled plan to implement minority rule in America. And it is here to stay because it is the only way to keep the GOP's corporate donor class and the nativist voting base together

Hey, Governor Patrick- it’s your counterpart in Pennsylvania.

I think that Sheetz is more central and western PA to Wawa's Philly-centric locations.
-

This could cost him reëlection. Dem votes predominately on the coastal/Wawa side whereas voters in Sheetz country (sans Pittsburgh/Alleghany County) aren't voting for him anyway.

Maggie Haberman@maggieNYT
“Mr. Trump is simply trying to survive from one news cycle to the next, seeing how far he can push his case against his defeat and ensure the continued support of his Republican base.”

I'm so tired of the Maggie hate
honestly, I like a lot of her stuff, but am not so well versed to say I've read all her stuff
I think she has said favorable things of trump, but overall she has been a harsh critic, so I find this derision tiresome
...but here we are
I think that statement independent of past baggage stands

No. Getting people to tell you stuff and letting you publish it is real important
Bob Novak was the same...a loathsome person (not saying Maggie is) but he had all the scoops...
I do think that unlike Novak Maggie’s time is done... although if Trump is running for 2024 maybe not

jonathan pie is amazing. if you haven't heard of him, do look him up. he is the epitome of refined english sarcasm, satire and observational humour.
his schtick, in case you haven't guessed it, is that he's a serious news anchor that goes off on rants between stories, while the camera is supposedly off: "... and now over to Bob with sports." <insert profane yet eloquent rant> "Thank you Bob. Our next story is about the rise of Labour in the Midlands thanks to their etc..."

-
Do we expect so little from our political representatives that we think they should go on vacation in the middle of a disaster affecting their constituents?

He doesn't have any control over what happens on a state level and can make things happen

exactly. his base more or less supports the insurrection - the concept behind it, if not the actual riot.
but they're currently suffering from the weather so their leader heading to the beach while they tear down fences for firewood and line up for water from a public fountain is something that hits home.

They will still reelect him. In fact, they'll shoot his name into the voter card as they scream "fuck aoc."

Texas is just not that red anymore
Texas is not Oklahoma, Kansas or even Missouri these days

Will Cruz be re-elected in four years if he wants it? Probably but he doesn’t do himself any favors

The least he could do is go to a warming center and chuck paper towel rolls at the freezing hordes.
-
The contortions the right go to cover for their corrupt leaders is astounding
Dinesh D'Souza@DineshDSouza
What could @tedcruz do if he were here in Texas? I’m hard-pressed to say. If he’s in Cancun, that means he’s not using up valuable resources of energy, food and water that can now be used by someone else. This is probably the best thing he could do for the state right now
although that first sentence sounds like my argument, although I didn't back it up with something insane
I guess leaving the country is probably the best thing he could do for his state and the country right now

If Ted really wanted to take over Trump's base, he should have stayed in Mexico and blamed the media.
This makes me hopeful that no one will take over Trump's base, because you know who wasn't flying back to Texas - DJT. And his base loved him for that

Most of Trumps base hate Cruz
They definitely would have strung him up if they ran into him in the capitol
Now josh and mtg are different and we should keep an eye on them

I'm really looking forward to Ingenuity. Like, I might lock myself in a room excited.
-
yes, but like martian dirt returning...we are not sure yet..but very exciting
The team behind Ingenuity are not yet sure whether it is even possible for a helicopter to hover above the Martian surface. Mars' atmosphere is less than one percent the density of Earth’s, so it may be too thin for the helicopter to successfully fly. If it succeeds, then space agencies can add aerial exploration of Mars to future missions.
in addition to Percy...there should have been a whole fleet of mini rovers that could travel hundreds of miles in different directions and beam back info to the obiter
but Nasa isn't calling me for advice

at the very end of the video, you clearly see the word "curiosity" so this is older footage, not new content from the Perseverance. also, given the very thin atmosphere, i don't think that sound can travel on mars... other than maybe wind on the microphone, if they even bothered including a microphone.

before launch the 'copter was tested in 1% air and it flew, so i'd certainly bet on it being able to fly on the red planet. blades have to spin between 3,000 and 4,000 rpm.

What a lemming..I do not miss him here
When people have nostalgia for blockbuster that doesn’t include a wide ranging critique of the evils of unfettered capitalism
They just remember as kids going to a blockbuster and being able to rent a movie and watching the movie at home.. it was something new to do and became a thing..it’s nostalgia for a time and place
The nostalgia has nothing to do with blockbusters anti-competitive policies or late fees debt collection

So long as Baez doesn't get to first, it doesn't matter when/if the runner crosses home plate. AT ALL. As soon as Baez started running backwards, turn around and touch first base. End of inning, no run scored.
If you decide to chase him down the line, fine. Just walk up and tag him. Sit on the fucking baseline if you want and wait for him to come to you an hour after the runner crosses home plate. ANYTHING besides trying to get the runner at home. End of inning, no run scored so long as Baez doesn't get safely to first base.
-
also, the first baseman and catcher didn't need to squeeze the runner. first baseman just needed to force him back to home plate, at which point he'd have nowhere else to go, and get tagged. trying to pickle him was idiotic.

GGG = "good, giving, and game."
a term popularized by sex columnist Dan Savage. means that you're willing to go out of your comfort zone for the sake of your partner's sexual satisfaction. "i'm not really into that, but my partner is so i do it to make them happy". ideally they'll do the same for you, and everyone is happy, so being GGG = happy wife and happy life.

Whenever I take political typology quizzes I always get libertarian. In some I get liberal (meaning D) libertarian which can seem odd if not contradictory.
People always distort libertarianism so it becomes a caricature.
People ought to be as free as possible to take drugs, fuck what they want (for money if they want),believe what they want and end their lives when they want.
Government ideally should be as small and nonintrusive as possible but provide a safety net until we no longer need one.
And just because exceptions sometimes have to be made doesn’t mean we throw out libertarianism. Few of life’s complicated questions have cut and dried answers
-
I would say my biggest gripe with libertarianism, is it's a utopia, a fantasy...it doesn't exist
So when arguing with a libertarian and they make an argument for X, but there is no basis in reality that it could happen or that a lot of people would suffer due to the change
it's a great idea, but it's not a fact that if gov't stepped away things would be soo much better
I think in general its a very selfish attitude and typically only supported by people don't want to pay taxes at all
Now with that said, I like a lot of libertarian ideals and think we should work towards that...
-
Wow I don’t see that at all…
Most of the money government confiscates from people is wasted. Take the money flushed down the toilet in the war on terror.
A person is selfish for wanting to keep his money instead of giving it to government to waste and kill?
When government takes people’s money it largely uses it - like any organization- on itself…creating jobs for itself…creating power for itself
The idea it does it to make your own life better is the fantasy.
-
I didn't say the gov't wasn't wasteful, that is a huge issue
I think a person who wants to cut a few hundred/thousand dollars off their tax bill, when they are taking home 250k a year is selfish, yes
also, lets not bring the military spending into this, I was more talking about social programs and infrastructure things the gov't does
Military spending is insane, with a lot of it going to line the pockets of our neighbors in the DMV
One thing I find out of whack is there is a streak of libertarians in the GOP, how they can sleep in the same bed as the religious right and now the QANON to me is showing their stripes. They don't really care about anything other than lowering their tax bill, no matter what the cost
and with all its faults, I do think the US gov't makes lives better for a lot of people
There still is some personal responsibility that people need to take to fill that gap
-
Social programs aren’t wasteful? Infrastructure isn’t wasteful?
In the hands of government most everything is wasteful.
Please don’t be so naive.
And how can you just ignore military spending? I mean it’s convenient but how can you?
-
again, this wonderful utopia you speak of is ONLY IN YOUR MIND
-
A person is selfish for wanting to keep the money they themselves earn and not give it to the government that ends up wasting 90% of it….
Ok…
$250,000 sadly isn’t even that much in the DC area…. And the way things are going it’s going to be worth less and less… or do you not do any grocery shopping?
I could see calling millionaires selfish but a household earning $250,000?
You know what’s selfish? Government just borrowing money when it doesn’t feel it’s getting enough from taxes and causing the value of your money…your earnings..to go down….making you and your family poorer…. The inflation tax
-
wasting 90% of it….
that's an interesting stat, I think it's inefficient to a large degree, but those dollars are usually creating jobs somewhere and those people are spending that money into the economy, creating more jobs (I agree, the military is a different animal and different arguments need to be made there)
You save a wealthy person $25k on their tax bill, do you think they go out and create new jobs
not likely, they do it based on what the market wants not paying less in taxes
and yes, I do think a lot of wealthy people are selfish and 'mine mine mine...I earned it' when the reality is they won the birth lottery or were lucky
also The national median family income for the United States for FY 2021 is $79,900,
so I'd say the VAST majority of Americans' think $250k is loaded
the DMV has 7 of the richest 10 counties in all of the country
-
And why is the DMV loaded? As you yourself said because of wasteful government spending
But wasteful government spending is good?
Dude… how about government spend that money on the rest of the country?
So many defense industry “consultants” in Arlington… kind of grosses me out lately
But yeah government spending is great

My take is Elon is not buying Twitter to bring TFG back...It's to defeat the spam bots!
why would he spend $43 Billion to do that, seems insane. I think he sees the value and will likely double his investment

y'all are falling for his trap. elon didn't risk $44 B to eff up a very successful platform with billions of users - you don't kill your cash-cow. he's going to add some window dressing, take a word or two off the banned words list, issue a press release touting the return of free speech, and drop a few million on ads... then, profit. the end.

one of my fav youtube pundits just released a video on this, he speaks my mind: https://youtu.be/EBeEjohoLiU?t=128. elon's hands are tied...
How many times can your fav pundit say "PR shift" without acknowledging that Tesla does not have a PR team any longer. Musk does not believe in “manipulating public opinion” which is apparently what he thinks a PR team does.
Let's talk about the $2-3b more Musk agreed to pay for a childish joke. That's the real story. At $44.20 twitter's like "nah" but for $54.20 (38% over value) they're like "sure man, no problem. It would be a disservice to shareholders to NOT accept that offer."

did you read this from this morning...these are his intentions and he can get more people interested by talking about trump, he will
https://www.axios.com/2022/05/09/elon-musks-goals-twitter-beyond-ambitious
Why it matters: The documents show that Musk imagines himself as able to produce financial growth unlike any the company has seen in its history.
By the numbers: Here are Musk's targets, per the Times:
Boost annual revenue to $26.4 billion by 2028, compared to $5 billion last year.
Get to nearly 1 billion users. Musk's goal is 600 million users by 2025, up from 217 million last year, and 931 million by 2028.
Cut the percentage of revenue from ads to 50%. (Ads were about 90% of revenue in 2020, the Times notes.)
Boost paid subscriptions, including growing Twitter Blue (currently $3 per month) to 69 million paying users by 2025 and 159 million by 2028.
this last one is absurd, he is not going to get 69mil users to pay $3 a month
never going to happen
-
There is always an attempt to ascribe a rationale to his actions because he must be a genius but often he does crazy things for which there is little possible rationale.
At least that’s the way I see it…
And if he needs soon to be 76 year old Trump tweeting for Twitter to meet his targets he is crazier than even I thought.

You're right, I didn't. When I click on a Twitter link on my work laptop, I get a popup saying I need to login to Twitter to continue after about five seconds. And I don't remember my login information.

Did they really though? I'm not saying there were no deals whatsoever to be had in 2008 or someone who bought in 2007 and sold in 2008 didn't get bopped, but from 2006-2011, didn't house prices rise generally? Feel free to correct me with data.

I would argue for a sufficient number of people they have as evidenced by houses selling.
People are buying multiple houses. Less people own the same number of houses and more people are getting shifted to the renter class. Which has negative externalities, but house prices going down isn't one.

odd reasoning...but that tracks (that he does odd things)
on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users
his reasoning is sound: the #1 thing you're acquiring when buying something like twitter is the user-base. the code can be rewritten, the infrastructure can be replaced - but users can't (RE: "if you're not paying for the product, you ARE the product" - and twitter is free, so...)
so if you were promised only 5% bad apples, and there is more than 5%, you're not getting what you were promised. also, getting bots and fake accounts off of twitter is one of elon's stated goals. he needs to know how big the problem is.
-

was his original reasoning that bots were more like 20%
-
was his original reasoning that bots were more like 20%
It turns out his insistence on ending his bid with 420 (and upping his bid to $54.20) may not be as palatable to his investors - he doesn't care about Bots, he cares about lowering the price. At $44.20 a share he had some interest and the market cap was comparable. At $54.20, he's over paying - but he holds all the cards. So make a move, threaten to leave and force twitter to lower their price. If the deal falls through, both sides owe $1 billion, which would cost Twitter much more than Elon Musk. He'll make up the loss when Tesla stock rebounds as he'll no longer be "distracted" by running twitter.
The bots are just an excuse to not be accused of being a bully billionaire, which he clearly is and is acting like one.

His initial offer for Twitter was $44.20. It was rejected.
His follow-up offer was $54.20. It was accepted.
That moment when he claimed he had the funding secure to take Tesla private, he said he planned to do so for $420 a share. That joke cost him ~$20m.
Don't know or care if he smokes or not (in the SEC investigation about Tesla, he told the SEC he chose the number because he thought his girlfriend would find it funny), but he definitely doesn't care how much the childish use of the number will cost him.

-
I'm all for taxing the rich
But not sure how you can tax people on unrealized gains
value is only real when it's sold.
only a few months ago I could have a had 1 Million usd in value in Bitcoin
but now, only a few weeks later it's only worth $14.3435 in USD
Now if I sold the bitcoin when it was worth 1 million I would (and should) have paid taxes
but should this law say...well you had 1 Million in value on x date, you owe us taxes on that
I assume that then there would also be a 'credit' for unrealized losses too
couldn't I just say I lost 1 million in bitcoin to offset profits somewhere else
So part of his argument is in using it for Collateral to get other loans...and yes it is a little voodoo economics to do that
but say the lender cashed in on that collateral would he owe the taxes on that sale at the time

Should you pay taxes on a home equity loan?
I don't think so, honestly the tax deduction for interest on these loans is kinda bullshit (same for home loans...why would any loan interest be deductible?)
Although it is income per se. So I think you could tax it, but then you'd take that sum to reduce your capital appreciation when you sell
so wouldn't really net anything revenue wise and would make little incentive to take that kind of loan
I'd like to have some sort of wealth tax, I just don't think this is the way to do it
-
I don't think so,
Same principle as Musk's Twitter funding, and I agree. He's not realizing the gain, he's borrowing against assets and taking a huge risk. That's not a taxable event.
honestly the tax deduction for interest on these loans is kinda bullshit (same for home loans...why would any loan interest be deductible?)
And I also agree here, even more so for a home equity loan. While the mortgage deduction was an incentive to get people to fulfill the American Dream and buy a home, deductions for Home Equity loans make no sense and are an incentive to get folks into more financial trouble. The elimination of the SALT deductions cost me a fortune in taxes, but I think it's fair.
Although it is income per se.
An asset is not income.

saying that foreigners who live in the US can't/shouldn't criticize the US is the stupidest, most jingistic argument ever. it's a facile and infantile way to dismiss an opinion without having to actually come up with a counter-argument. the day that that same foreigner says something in favor of their position, they'll be the first to elevate that argument as saying "see? even the foreigners acknowledge this!!!" (aside: jim jeffries' take on this (https://youtu.be/-TWbnLvjRB8?t=429)).
Well maybe the better idea is to not give a foreigner his own American tv show feautring commentary on America, thus giving his a louder voice than 99.99% of Americans.
I wish GGW was here so he could find when Space first made this argument about Peter Jennings 25 years ago or something.

john oliver is now on his 9th season, i'd say that the american public has spoken: they want what he's offering.
100%
you may or may not like him, but HBO is paying him a lot, because he get tons of viewers...they speak with their eyes/wallets
His deep dive on so many 'american' topics NO OTHER person is doing
I just watched one about how all the Power Utilities are monopolies, not exactly click bait kind of stuff and there is almost no coverage by other shows

Another classic Space canard -- claiming everything on HBO is niche because of low traditional viewership numbers in a social media world. 9 out 10 people who see a segment from John Oliver do not have HBO, bro. This shit lives on Twitter and Facebook.
The Sopranos is one of the most referenced television touchstones of the past two decades; it pulled a 4 in the ratings.

Why would HBO pay him over $15 million a year then? you are just looking silly on this topic
For his highly successful TV show on HBO, John Oliver earns an annual salary of $15 Million dollars. In addition to this fixed salary, John Oliver is also eligible for an additional $2 Million in bonus, if his TV Show achieves certain Cable TV ratings
pulled from your article
Last Week Tonight has averaged 4.7 million across all platforms and plays for episodes of the new season.
so your 99.7% number is incorrect too
Obviously the network is willing to pay for Julian or Sidehatch's eyeballs much more than you or hutch's
But I already knew that

dunno about FB and TW, but he gets a ton of eyeballs on youtube (including mine). his weekly vids typically get between 3 and 7 million views, eclipsing his HBO viewership. a quick scroll of his video listing page (https://www.youtube.com/user/LastWeekTonight/videos) reveals that he has several stories that got over 30 million views. his most popular piece (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnpO_RTSNmQ), posted as trump was about to secure the GOP nom in early 2016, has over 40 million views.

I stand corrected. 98.6% of Americans don't watch John Oliver.
By comparison, 50 million viewers (21.4% of the 1983 US populations) watched the MASH finale.

That's about .4% of the total number of views that Baby Shark has gotten (10.7 billion.)
-
If you’re trying to point out that John Oliver segments lack the rewatchability of ear worms like Baby Shark, then yes, you’ve stumbled upon a point of agreement.
I don’t even like John Oliver, but this just constantly claiming that things are not part of the zeitgeist because they fail to accumulate the same quantity in some outdated metric like “Nielsen ratings” as some other thing in the zeitgeist is real dumb. It’s like going “Taylor Swift isn’t a famous musician, she hasn’t even sold as many records as ABBA.” Your fact is very tenuously at best correlated to your assertion and does not account for era and or how industries evolve.
-
Perhaps we'd be better off if more people watched John Oliver.

I don’t know…in some ways it’s just entertainment and people watch it cause they agree with it

i can agree, for the most part, about bill maher... but the information content in john oliver is much higher. the guy has done deep-dives on utilities, compounding pharmacies and mobile homes - as sidehatch pointed out, these are topics that no one else is touching but are surprisingly important. i genuinely learn something from his show (along with some laughs, and snark).

I wouldn’t call it entertainment so much as I would “preaching to the choir.” John Oliver might educate someone on an issue but if they weren’t predisposed to agree with him on that issue, they aren’t going to “buy it” or probably even be a person who exists within the ecosystem that his clips have ubiquity. He is, as is a lot of content, “preaching the the choir.” He fires up people who agree with him, he doesn’t convince. It wasn’t designed to convince. It was designed to be blurbed and get interactions from a certain demographic of people.
-
I think the way that a John Oliver clip goes from a pay station (that few people pay for) to being regurgitated and quote tweeted and reposted intensely by a small ecosystem of social media until normal people not on “progressive Twitter” get it in their social media and its cross-shared/reviewed on AV Club and CNN because it (intentionally or not) triggers an algorithm (or algorithms, plural) is not dissimilar to why we all see anti-Amber Heard videos everywhere or how QAnon spreads. And I don’t think people understand this mechanism at play enough and how some people weaponize it and other people who exist within these feedback loops do not understand that what they’re seeing is neither as ubiquitous as they perceive it nor organic.

Did consider passing this one along, but seem very UK specific.. anyways the guy responsible for the "Yakely Sax" is a bit of gadfly in London at the moment who had his speakers taken away for violating some law regarding using them on the streets.. details a bit murky on this one as they keep confiscating this equipment..
anyways the view from the other side...

I love this story so much, I can't wait to see how it plays out. I'm guessing somewhere well north of the $1b but not close to the $44b he agreed to pay. $20b-25b with no control of the company, and that $25b might include the value of relinquishing his current shareholdings in Twitter seems about right.

Laugh all you want but DC has gotten sketchier since the pandemic. Tent cities everywhere. A lot more crazy homeless drugged up people around. Try Union station area. It is actually scary to park there cause when you do you are accosted by a bunch of loonies…. One of a few reasons I stopped going to my friends bar there… Businesses aren’t happy about the let it be approach either…
Laughing off increasing crime really isn’t a very constructive approach.

odd as it's at a 17 year low
https://mayor.dc.gov/release/mayor-bowser-announces-homelessness-down-47-implementation-homeward-dc-hits-17-year-low
obviously with a grain of salt
In a July 2020 report, the U.S. Government Accountability Office questioned the effectiveness of the survey’s methodology. “The data likely underestimate the size of the homeless population because identifying people experiencing homelessness is inherently difficult,”
and it's not like they are not trying
https://dcist.com/story/21/11/10/even-as-dc-says-new-program-to-deal-with-homeless-encampments-is-working-critics-push-for-it-to-end/
Bowser has stated that ending homelessness is one of her main priorities while in office. She’s been credited for shuttering the discredited D.C. General shelter and opening smaller homeless shelters across the city
https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/dc/homeless-encampments-unsheltered-tents-pandemic-covid-rats-cockroaches/65-244c6e86-cf70-454f-947e-41985b7c6eb9
The District saw a 40% spike in the number of homeless encampments across the city during the pandemic, but only a 5% increase in the number of people experiencing homelessness. That’s because some unsheltered residents set up multiple tents as the city relaxed its enforcement of laws banning encampments during COVID
But, yes, union station has been sketchy recently, will 100% agree with that. Reminds me of the good old days in the 90s ;)
-
When Democrats get clobbered you might think “Gee maybe letting homeless people take over streets and parks and not enforcing laws wasn’t so funny after all.”
How should I know what the duck to do? Am I the Mayor or Chief of Police now???
Sidehatch get your head out of your ass. There are more tents with homeless people than I ever seen in DC. Do you only drive at night or something?
It’s so typical of liberals to pretend nothing is going on and crack jokes and share funny memes. Talk to Ro about what he has seen happen around Union Station three blocks from the Capitol.
-

not sure I ever said it was funny
-
Oh right it’s kosmo posting funny memes
Look if you think the only solutions are flying people to red states or locking them up - basically that there is nothing that can be done- well I don’t find that serious. But, yes, people breaking laws and regulations should be locked up. Otherwise why have them? It seems to me that in the wake of BLM and the pandemic some regulations were outright suspended and some are just not really enforced much.
-
Look if you think the only solutions are flying people to red states or locking them up - basically that there is nothing that can be done
that was not my solution, that's what I wanted to know if you thought was the solution
One thing I agree is, it's NOT a good look for dems and they will be punished at the polls
but the City is making an effort, its just the disaster that opioids has caused has created a public health issue and homelessness is a symptom
one thing I don't believe being poor and homeless should be a crime...but that's just my lefty take

This is where we bring up the talking point of mental health... which I agree on, but it's just too big of a problem that impacts everything and nothing can really be done.
-
Maybe stop investing in bike lanes and spend money providing services and helping people get off the streets? DC has been flush for a while. Why should money be an issue?
Maybe reintroduce the regulations that were in place pre pandemic that limited tent cities? Maybe call the Chief of Police and explain that the Wild West is over?
The situation has really worsened in the past 2-3 years so I really don’t think it’s the opioids epidemic.
Anyways I got to stop on this..presumably I should have something to do… the main point is Democrats have been yapping for the past six months that because of the abortion ruling there’s going to be all this people voting D and I think people are more concerned about the fact that a small bag of chips now costs $5.49 and crime or the belief crime is rising and nobody cares.

Maybe stop investing in bike lanes and spend money providing services and helping people get off the streets? DC has been flush for a while. Why should money be an issue?

Find me a homeless person without mental illness... few and far between, at least the ones that are causing problems and roaming the streets, etc.

I agree, and that's the root of most problems in the country.
Who shoots up a school? A mentally ill piece of shit.
Who shits on the streets and lives in a tent on K street? A mentally ill person.
-
While I wholly agree, the mental illness problem is also a way to shrug your shoulders and say 'nothing we can do about it'
Conservatives LOVE to say it, mostly because they don't want any new gun laws, but in reality the will not spend a single dime on it
Liberals definitely are digging their own grave on this one too
But ultimately their needs to be an effort to fund these things and there really isn't
everyone is complains about the cost of groceries and gas, do you think they would be willing to pay 1% more in taxes to make a big impact on this...I think we know the answer

Dropped off Twitter. Fuck Elon.
-
That was fast…what he do?
-
One thing he did was tweet a false story about Pelosi's husband which stated the attacker was a male prostitute servicing Pelosi's husband (he has since deleted his tweet). This report came from the same news outlet that had claimed Hilary Clinton had died and was replaced with another person. Plus I don't see the need to support a platform that allows accounts whose purpose is to generate hatred and and spew racists language.
No reason to stay a part of that for now, at least until they clean it up.

TIL Saudi Arabia, which has the eighth most Twitter users of any country in the world !
I for some reason thought they weren't even allowed to use it...is that Iran?
By the numbers: Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, founder and chairman of the Kingdom Holding Company, said the company would continue its ownership of Twitter shares valued at $1.89 billion after Musk completed the deal, making it Twitter's second largest investor.
I mean, they are the 2nd largest...but they only control less than 5%, so really don't 'control the company' by any means Im aware of

the part that's scary is that Elon took the company private. that means there are no more shares, at least not in the traditional sense. there will be no more annual investor meetings, proxy votes to confirm leadership, etc. - unless Elon and the Saudis agreed to these trappings of publicly traded companies (doubtful). who knows what kind of a deal they struck. "Hey Mr. Musk, we'll reducing your financing burden - and associated interest payments - by $1.89 billion, in return for 'privileged access' to Twitter's data..." who knows?

Dude it’s not about Saudi citizens..it’s about American citizens…
so are you implying that saudis are using twitter info to get US citizens?
yes there was a case in that article
The U.S. Department of State earlier this month also confirmed that the kingdom had sentenced an American citizen, Saad Ibrahim Almadi, to 16 years in prison for posting tweets critical of the Saudi government.
Yes it's dangerous for US citizens (or dual citizens) to criticize the saudi gov't on Saudi soil (if he'd never gone to SA he would have been fine)
I just want to know how the Saudi's involvement with twitter is putting Americans at risk
this is a serious question as I really don't see it?
Now is the SA gov't a bunch of corrupt authoritarians that could care less about their citizens
yes
but does that put Americans in danger
I'd say no

So how long do we give Twitter given all what’s going on there?
I noticed almost no ads today, guess he fired those people today.. last night the ads were crazy including people paying to promote their accounts with a big follow button included…
Personally I find Twitter useful for following and get updates on favorite artists.. and it’s easy to discover new ones as well.. I could easily reduce the noise in my timeline with muting words, etc but whatever… I avoid reading the replies and will most definitely never argue with someone in the replies

Many large companies paused their Ad contracts pending more information on content moderation policies. That is much more likely the cause - Musk even said so (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1588538640401018880).

Without diving into deep into this here is what looks like a good explainer of Mastodon
https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/03/decentralized-social-network-mastodon-grows-to-655k-users-in-wake-of-elon-musks-twitter-takeover/
The confusing feature of Mastodon is the choice of what server you choose when you sign up as they are topic specific.
There is a general topic Mastodon
Counter.social is a customized version of Mastodon, so I guess it’s treated one of the server options available.
In theory there could be a 930 Mastodon server
The problem with all these giant social media sites is they destroyed scene specific forums and discussion boards, which someone was bemoaning the lose of recently.. now of course as great as it would be to back to the time of listserves, the golden age of this forum, the velvet rope which was a very gossipy music industry forum, etc.. it sure is nice that Twitter provided a centralized easy to use platform versus having to go to several sites, but everyone is competing for the same users
One could see the return of large forums, but having to do content and user moderation in these times would be a massive headache
And don’t get me started on the use of Discord servers for which I can barely keep up with the couple I’m on… I suspect Reddit would make my head explode

twitter's staff in IT Ops/Deployment/SysEng/etc must be having heart attacks:
- this feature was developed very, very quickly. i doubt it was properly tested.
- twitter's IT infrastructure is MASSIVE. you don't just deploy code on a lark, getting something into Production (AKA "going live") is an event that is scheduled, planned, coordinated - to ensure your business doesn't go down because the servers got hosed by some new code. i suspect elon has thrown all these precautions out the window and now the techs are stuck doing what elon wants, as quickly as elon wants. this is seriously risky.
- rolling back a feature like this is also risky, especially on such a short time-scale. i'm sure they planned the ability to remove, but who knows if they practiced the process...

"Fail Hard. Fail Fast. Fail Often." - is an accepted and lauded approach to IT development: see what sticks, fix what doesn't. it's great way to innovate but you don't do it with your core product on such a massive scale. it's ok to fail often and iterate when you're two buddies building a company out of your garage. for a company as large as twatter, you want to fail often with new stuff, the stuff on the edges, specialized features, etc... elon is fucking around. at some point he's going to find out.

For all the “he’s ruining Twitter” talk, the Twitter experience is exactly what it was before he bought it
except that it isn't. my daily starting point on twitter is the "for you (https://twitter.com/explore/tabs/for-you)" page, which presents content based on my past consumption (i.e. tracks my interests). as of today, the layout of that page is different, and the content is notably off. none of my interests are there, instead is all generic middle-of-the-road stuff. there also used to be "Events" (like the Olympics, War In Ukraine, Midterm Elections, etc) and those are now gone. small changes, maybe, but twitter has suddenly become A LOT less useful for me.
i'm seriously wondering how the app is going to remain functional over the next week. per reports on twitter (irony!), entire departments have quit. after firing half the staff on tuesday, elon pitched "twitter 2.0" to the survivors (~3.5k), and sounds like folks are bailing en masse. i've read various reports that all of InfoSec has quit, payroll is gone, senior engineers walked out of a meeting elon called to pitch 2.0 to them... they're collecting the names of those who have accepted elon's offer of working 80 hours a week and sleeping on office floors, which is under 1,000. from 7k earlier this week to under 1k. companies collapse from a lot less than that. legal issues could very quickly mount if twitter can't be kept secure (InfoSec), if its employees rights can't be respected (CA employees can sue if they're not paid on time... how's payroll doing?), etc. at a minimum he's going to have to bring in an army of expensive emergency temps just to keep the lights on. there is some evidence that elon is walking back his 2.0 offer/threat, TBD if it's too late.

My Moby story... I was dating a babe in the summer of 2002 and somehow I ended up going to see Moby.
Anyway, she was invited to "hang back stage" post show, probably not aware that she was with me. We went back stage post show and Moby was hanging out awkardly and provided people with vegan bacon as snacks. We left after about 5 minutes. The end.

Was it tempeh?

I'm not even sure why you would tell this story if you don't know what the vegan bacon was made out of? What was the point, Yada? What was the point?

at this point i was intrigued, so many possibilities... one second it's a party back there, next thing you know a bunch of doors slam and yada finds himself in a backstage hallway, alone? did Moby scoop yada's girl? was yada into the cuckold thing, so he then watched?

this was really great:
“If you type in ‘Mastodon‘ to your Google machine, the band usually comes up before the ice age animal. That's not that fair to the animal, so we're very sorry for that. Fans of prehistoric animals are the ones that have been really wronged here: 'I don't give a shit about this band! I just want to look at this furry elephant!’

Right now on Google web search, you only have to type $t for it to show Tesla's current price (113.54 as I type this).
-
come on people it's only down 72% YTD, nothing to see here
still holding that a sub 100 is a good buy
well, it was at $28 in March 2020 (after a high of 60 in Feb 2020)...although that number is deciving as there have been two stock splits since then
so if no splits that $400 high would have actually been a $6000 per share high

2. Explore dropshipping
3. Develop a SaaS product 🤯

2. Explore dropshipping
3. Develop a SaaS product 🤯
i want to know more about how these two points are going to work together - maybe the AI is going to design a SaaS that requires a proprietary piece of hardware? (thus negating major benefits of SaaS...). maybe the AI is proposing to create two completely unrelated products? "according to the AI, we should go to market with a better mousetrap, and cloud-based tax software."

As a budding audiophile in my teens, I remember reading someone say that we all know the guy who spends $10K [1980s] on his system and plays nothing but elevator music and sound effects.

my eyes always glaze over when Quboz user carry on about their audiophile setups used to listen to Hi-Rez digital files
that fact that some people pay for $15 a month for something called Roon is all you need to know about audiophiles..
Roon
The audiophile player for music fanatics
How Roon works
Roon organizes all your music – both files and streaming content from TIDAL and Qobuz – to create an interconnected digital library enhanced with rich metadata, including artists photos, bios, album reviews, credits, lyrics, concert dates, and insanely good recommendations.

well, this is going just swimmingly...
Twitter temporarily restricts tweets users can see, Elon Musk announces (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-66077195)
Twitter has applied a temporary limit to the number of tweets users can read in a day, owner Elon Musk has said.
In a tweet of his own, Mr Musk said unverified accounts are now limited to reading 1,000 posts a day.
For new unverified accounts, the number is 500. Meanwhile, accounts with "verified" status are currently limited to 10,000 posts a day.
The tech billionaire initially set stricter limits, but he changed these within hours of announcing the move.
Mr Musk said the temporary limits were to address "extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation".

X Marks The End
Bye bye, birdie.
Twitter, the text-based social media platform that played an outsized role on society by serving as a digital town square, was killed by its unhinged owner Elon Musk on Sunday. It was 17 years old.
A zombie Twitter, known only as X, reluctantly endures. A warped and disfigured platform, X marches on like a White Walker, an ugly shell of its former self under the command of a loathsome leader.
Whereas Twitter was once a fountain of authoritative information, X is a platform where trolls can pay a small fee to have their ugly content boosted ahead of reputable sources.
X is a platform where identity verification no longer exists and impersonation is only a paid subscription away.
X is a platform where journalists are banned and smeared while the most repellant and dishonest voices are elevated.
X is a platform where the rules are unclear and content moderation is largely an idea of the past.
X is a platform where the most important and consequential decisions are made on a whim and can happen without any warning.
And X is a platform where vital infrastructure is crumbling and the most basic of features often fail to function.
X might resemble Twitter. It might occupy the same address on the internet that Twitter once did. But make no mistake, it is not the same platform it once was — even as recently as nine months ago, when Musk took over, quickly decapitated the former leadership, and threw the company into chaos and turmoil.
That platform has ceased to be. It arguably died some time ago, before it was announced to the public by way of a sudden and disorderly rebranding.
In many ways, Musk has done to Twitter what Donald Trump did to the Republican Party: wholly remade it in his own image. At least, with Musk, the deformed entity is getting a different name, one that allows the public to perhaps separate Twitter from what Musk has transformed it into.
X will, of course, inherit all of Twitter's business problems. Musk is the entity that has proven toxic to advertisers and much of the user base, not the widely recognized bird logo. How the billionaire ultimately turns that ship around is unclear, particularly as he faces new competition from Mark Zuckerberg and Threads.
So far, however, there is little hope Musk will be able to successfully steer the ship out of iceberg-ridden waters. He is, after all, the captain who led the ship into them — all while manically laughing alongside his inner circle while standing at the wheel.

Threads is also in this space. Bluesky isn’t attached to a mega Corp and seems to put more of an emphasis on keeping hate speech off it. Does not require a bunch of technical know how a la Mastodon.

Well, I'm not seeing an ad every other tweet, or seeing Nazis, so it's at least better in that regard. I don't know if it really has the juice to replace it, but I will say I sometimes forget to even look at Twitter to kill time. Definitely could use more stuff to rile up the blood, because let's face it, that's why we're all on the internet to begin with.
A "hide retweets" option on people you follow would immediately bump up the fun factor tho.

Just cause you don’t see “Nazis” doesn’t mean they are not out there. And using the word nazi seems a little out there….currently reading Primo Levy’s memoirs about Auschwitz….those are Nazis

I do enjoy seeing content from across the spectrum and feel my bluesky so far is just an echo chamber

Moving to the proper thread, i think?
Don't get me wrong, I did and still do love talking to Conservatives about how evil they are their beliefs vs. mine, but it's not like they suddenly got more hateful in the last 10 years...they just don't' feel the need to hide it behind some Ayn Rand, fiscal responsibility nonsense. They'll just tell you they want to exterminate our trans community or grind up the poor to lubricate the gears of their super yachts
I used to love talking about it with Conservatives/GOP types and legitimately wanted to hear their side of the issue

not really sure that bluesky is any better than twitter.
a twitter account i'm subbed to has invited its followers to switch over to tribel.com - yeay, yet another option.
folks need to coalesce around one alternative. social networks gain in value/usefulness as the number of users increases. with everyone split between bluesky, threads, mastodon, tribel, etc etc etc, twitter is going to persist as the only real option.
-
So twitter is now every third tweet some craptastic ad and now he wants to make sure all the scum fluffing him can see your tweets by removing the block feature. ...
soon the only people using that hellscape will be people whose "content" you don't ever want to see and the brands forced to have to do customer service, over there etc
fingers crossed threads becomes more musically oriented soon...

Sure there are a lot of Republicans that don't like Trump but their policies and worldviews are entirely lock-step, so who cares!

Don't be so hasty. A Scaramucci (11 days) is 1/4th of a Truss (44 days), so we are really on our way to an alternate system of time measurement here.

this isn't about the hit to elon's personal fortune.
dude made $30 billion dollars disappear. a big chunk of it was other people's money. he charmed a bunch of financial institutions and mega-investors into lending him money to make the deal happen. that doesn't make you popular on financial markets. he's also shown that he puts his ideas and opinions about business strategy ("advertisers can go eff themselves", for example). net result: the former golden boy has lost his shine. he's going to have problems he didn't use to have should he ever want to invest again. having elon musk as a backer of your project isn't the pull it used to be (i can imagine it might even be detrimental in some instances).
elon went into the twitter deal thinking he'd become more influential, powerful, respected. result has been the opposite, at least among rational business folks.

The reports of twitters death are greatly exaggerated.
did he sink the stock in one year? Yes
but he can ride it out. Most companies can't do that and would fail quickly
Now the shareholders might revolt and that could be an issue
he doesn't own more than 10%
Now this could be part of his plan to buy up more while it's way down
Not saying that he's going to be successful, but I still think Twitter is doing OK even with all his mismanagement
Honestly, the stock was way overpriced to begin with
There is sometimes a lot of emotion in stock prices that have nothing to do with logic
trust me look at webvan

People just like to dump on the guy…Am I happy with the way Musk is running Twitter? Not particularly but I can’t say my experience has changed much except every day I have a random female follower….

If liberals really think Musk is such a bad person they should stop buying Teslas…yet in Arlington-liberal Mecca- Tesla’s have to be the number one car brand out there…they are everywhere

"Cap One should still be *busy* but Baltimore has been eroding the concert business for over a year by offering bands much reduced fees to play at their renovated arena, by passing DC. Which is saying something."

@TheRickWilson
Couchfucker, A Hillybilly Elegy Story:
In the dim glow of the late afternoon sun through the trailer’s coal-dust stained windows cast its warm embrace upon the living room, J.D. found himself captivated by the soft, inviting curves of the worn-out couch.
It wasn't just a piece of furniture to him; it was a comforting presence, whispering promises of hidden delights through its frayed fabric and sagging cushions. His fingers traced the patterns of the upholstery, feeling an inexplicable connection, an intimacy that transcended the ordinary.
He often sat there for hours, losing himself in the tactile sensation of the fabric against his skin, the faint scents of his family’s history embedded in its fibers. It was an intersection, like his feelings during the annual family reunion, that combined shame and arousal.
J.D. had to admit it to himself; he was polyfurniamorous.
Everything in the room struck a deep chord of desire; his infatuations and lusts weren’t limited to the couch. The antique-styled melamine coffee table with its printed veneer surface stirred something deep within him. He admired the craftsmanship, the way each groove and edge seemed to beckon his touch.
On quiet evenings, he would pour himself a glass of corn liquor and sit by the table, imagining the hands that once crafted it, the lives it had silently observed. He knew the stains on its surface would tell many a tale of life in the holler, particularly under UV light.
The old armchair by the window held a special place in J.D.’s heart. It was where he felt the most at ease, the most understood. The chair's worn velour surface and creaky joints seemed to respond to his every move, almost as if it were alive, sharing his burdens and joys. He would sink into its embrace face down, feeling the weight of his troubles lift as he closed his eyes and let the chair cradle him.
In those moments of release, J.D. felt a deep, unspoken bond, a romance that defied the conventional, a love that was as enduring and unyielding as life in the holler itself.

Trump’s recent language on immigrants is beyond the pale. No other right wing leader uses his type of language…things like “they will invade your home and slit your throat.”
If you compare his rhetoric at rallies this cycle to previous ones he is really ratcheting things up.
And Musk has completely gone over. Tweets about democrats bringing immigrants to swing states and giving them citizenship making this the last election Republicans can win or it’s over.
In the face of this, democrats offer nothing more than “Hey look they is crazee!”

The Vanishing Timestamps
I was just hearing the chatter about that, such an odd change elmo did
Must say, I'm finally warming up to bluesky and avoiding twitter
Someone surmised it might have due to that graph that showed all the times Elonia posted at night and hard to be a credible source of news without timestamps..
i'm less worried about elmo's late-night fever-posts, and more concerned about how this could be used to spread even more disinformation on that hellscape:
While editing posts is a novel feature for paid users, it also opens up the possibility of misinformation being spread. Bad faith users could publish a post saying one thing and derive a ton of reactions and responses only to change it afterwards. Without any recognizable paper trail, this opens up the possibility of abuse on the platform. (source (https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/2024/12/05/x-removes-timestamp-and-edit-history-of-posts/))
elmo didn't buy twitter as a financial investment. the changes he's brought* are for political purposes - killing moderation (notably around hate speech and disinformation) thus allowing any and all BS, putting links to trump's campaign on the homepage that disappeared the day after the election, removing pronouns, remove ability to block, removing certain topics from the For You page (Ex: Ukraine War no longer exists as of about a week ago), etc etc etc
*some changes he made were in response to twitter's declining financial situation, ex: staff cuts... but the financial situation was a result of the political changes
i'm still on twitter because that's where the info war on Ukraine is taking place, but gawdamn i'm deleting that app the second that the war is over.

Musk suggested that the attack was significantly resourced, possibly involving a large coordinated group or a nation-state. The hacker group Dark Storm Team claimed responsibility for initiating a DDoS attack causing these service interruptions.
