  1. Hmmmm...not paying workers, threatening to leave them stranded if they didn't meet their goals? Interstate transfer/kidnapping? Is that an indictable offense?
  2. Kamala is just so incredibly genuine and nice. That's all.
  3. 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."
  4. NYU journalism prof - real talk.
  5. 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.
  6. 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?"
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Can you imagine what 75,000 people could do at the Capitol? (Jan 6 had 20k less)
  10. 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?"
  11. I don't believe this meme has made it over here yet. (?) If that one is too subtle, here's another.
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. I moved on her like a bitch ... you can just grab 'em by the pussy...how new voters are learning who's on the ballot edit goddammit not sure if linking to tiktok works if you don't have an acct works
  15. lulz if you think Harris is afraid of being tricked by a podcast bro with an iq of 40.
  16. Quality subjective Mormon voting info from a BYU poli sci prof -

  18. Tamron, I miss you so much :vomit:
  19. Mildly interesting: Trump had an affair (that hasn't been reported on yet) before he was President and paid for the woman's abortion. The woman is a Black public figure from Texas, Tamron Hall. NBC had the information before the 2016 election but killed the story. https://www.interestingmysteries.com/p/the-rumor
  20. <<WSJ>> on how xitter users are aiding the fascists. https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/x-twitter-political-content-election-2024-28f2dadd?mod=hp_lead_pos2 I hope they're enjoying their slice of catturd. Fortunately the election won't be won on xitter.
  21. Just being real and it's not consequence free - at that time the $50k would be mine, even though I'd probably prefer to give it away in 50 chunks to people who need it. Taking funds from my own account -- just trying to be real --wouldn't be just my decision and I couldn't do so without going through 2 women. So let's say I could have my existing lessors pay a year in advance (iow an account that nobody else monitors), would I be willing to risk it? Yep.
