  1. Here's how the same rag covers a death in their backyard. Compare it to the fender bender hundreds of miles away.
  2. Bringing the war into the open.
  3. Some of y'all may find this informative about polling crosstabs. I know I did. In the past I've just paid attention to the top line number and whether it's a regarded pollster. While I recognize that polling has become more difficult over the years, I didn't realize the huge internal variants between polls. Podhorzer is the former political director of the AFL-CIO, a Sr fellow at the Center for American Progress. Short blog post explaining - Why Polling is Opinion Journalism https://www.weekendreading.net/p/why-polling-is-opinion-journalism
  4. Exactly why I posted it. Simple and inarguable. But far too rare.
  5. I'm trying to recall if I've ever seen a government official allow themselves to be quoted saying anything similar.
  6. Plus no chance of getting blasted by their fucking video replay.
  7. Australia government official: “For the life of me, I can’t see how Elon Musk or anyone else, in the name of free speech, thinks it is OK to have social media platforms publishing scam content, which is robbing Australians of billions of dollars every year. Publishing deepfake material, publishing child pornography. Livestreaming murder scenes. I mean, is this what he thinks free speech is all about?”
  8. Space Karen also now fighting with the Australian government.
  9. They offer an exclusive deal for all the imbeciles on rumble - the same deal they offer for anyone else.
  10. Shot Chaser https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/-just-exploded-springfield-woman-says-never-meant-spark-rumors-haitian-rcna171099
  11. Storm Shadow update: Biden and Prime Minister Starmer concluded their meeting about an hour ago and discussed Ukraine. No announcement was immediately forthcoming. Petraeus has thoughts, though and I sense they're going to go ahead with it, but we'll know when we know.
  12. The Pope themselves says you can still go to heaven if you vote for Kamala Harris in 2024.
  13. While they're at it they ought to send him to Texas for Friday night lights.
  14. edit: beat by MagicSoccerSpray, pasted the text from the NYT article, which has more detail than what I originally posted from Politico.
  15. Continued whiplash from the Storm Shadow dialog. FT on why UKR has been requesting use of Storm Shadow (into Ruzzia) for a long while, but others say they won't provide the advantage Zelensky seeks. https://archive.ph/ZTGCk
  16. This week Vance also appeared on a podcast and called this election an extension of the Civil War, and said he was running on the side of the Confederacy. You'd think that might make the news, too.
  17. I'm fixated on the "More Money With Trump" slogan. Seems racist and dumb af.
  18. WaPo has an article about the Harris/Walz digital rapid response team. https://archive.ph/dX2tg In the Tech section, so has the feel of a feature, and not political. It's interesting all the way through. The conclusion gives me the expectation that not only will they find creatives uses on tiktok and insta to drive turnout, they'll be effective in doing so.
  19. The tariff loophole that's helped Temu, Shein and other Chinese companies to flood the US market with cheap Chinese products is on the way to being fixed. A new regulation proposed today in the Federal Register would exclude a wide array of goods from being able to claim the so-called de minimis exemptions to avoiding tariffs, which extends to shipments of less than $800 in value. The proposed regulations would also make claiming duty free status more complex. The article indicates statutory changes are also necessary and that the Biden administration will try to get Congress to amend the law, as well. https://www.ft.com/content/2f07510b-d2c6-4bae-bae3-aa5dfa8bd796
