    That summary is sufficient.  He's a psychotic pathological lying narcissist....who has, naturally, latched on to ANOTHER psychotic pathological lying narcissist.  

    There's not a single fragment of Elon's being that isn't "pure piece of shit."  

    but here is the thing: it's like religion. oh that little guy? <hand wave> i wouldn't worry about that little guy.

    If you are happy with your life, you aren't sitting around listening to people rail for hours about how bad things are and how they are not your fault and it's somebody else's fault, etc.

    Outrage sells.

    man, you're fucking right. podcasts used to be pretty tight 50 - 60 minute traditional media sort of affair, except on a weekly basis or whatever. 

    now they are fucking hours - who has time for that? 

    am radio people do.

    Dude.  Half of the top 10 podcasts are fascist or fascist friendly.  It's fucked.  Mark Cuban correctly noted that the "mainstream media" these days IS the fucking hard-right.  Fox News, and the podcast universe, and a single fucking website owned by a broken-brained racist and authoritarian piece of shit (the subject of this thread) dominate media now.  Right-wingers LOVE to be told only what they want to hear, and they are drawn to sources that will do so like moths to a flame.

    so i am a bit late here, but has anyone, and i mean anyone in the fucking world stopped to maybe ask, i dunno, what the metrics here are? how are the trending podcasts moving the meter? is it engagement with paying subs? is it bots? because if that top ten is legit, then am radio has taken over the podcast world, which, given how timelines work, is probably about right, but jesus christ. 

    anyways, the metrics have to be somehow cooked. but i've thought that about everything for awhile now. 

    the metrics are all fucked. something is wrong

    None of this will matter until executives in $5,000 suits go to fucking prison for homicide.  Fines don't matter, bankruptcy doesn't matter (they all got paid.  A lot.  They don't give a fuck anymore).  SEND.  CRIMINALS.  TO PRISON.  THEY FUCKING KILLED PEOPLE, AND THEY KNEW THAT IT WAS CERTAIN TO HAPPEN.

    Fuck yes.  

    From the article: 

    They were at the center of this early on. Butina published an article in their magazine in early 2016. They hosted Trump's foreign policy speech in April 2016.  Think tanks are practically indistinguishable from lobbyists, but their funding is completely dark.  

    now wait just a minute. are you suggesting that it's always been that dark Russian nra money tho?

    jesus christ it's been so fucking obvious and they were doing it right in the fucking open the whole time

    Russia owns these fucks in probably a half dozen different ways each

    The kids who CNN are talking to are no doubt running on adrenaline. But what strikes me is they don't seem as shaken up as I'd imagine.

    I'm sure the weight and reality of what just happened to them today will hit them later but they almost seem resigned that this is perfectly NORMAL, almost expected.

    my own kids walked through the room, saw the news, and moved on as though it was just any other kind of boring, day-to-day news story.

    because it fucking is.

    Man you wouldn't believe what's available for user tracking online. If y'all aren't blocking JavaScript by default, websites can straight up record your actions in the browser as long as the tab is active with the js running. It's looney tunes. 

    Like, my wife picked up a game on Switch again after not playing it for a few years. Then today YouTube is recommending videos about that game out of the blue to her. It's insipient and all-encompassing, there is no escape. 

    Data has a larger market capitalization than oil. A whoooooooole shitton of that is user data and AdSense profiles tailor made and maintained to the second on every person who's ever been online. But hey it makes the internet go round and in a very real sense fuels the tech industry, so at least stonk line go up

    yeah but it's all fake and wrong headed. 

    enshittification, to me is pigeonhole targeting and that that and "impressions" seem to be driving the advertising economy when none of it really works. 

    there's just a ton of "value" driven by algorithms designed to classify you as a type of consumer.

    Netflix is a great example. you go into your profile and the epg is ready to serve you content it think it knows you like based on your history. have you ever just started a new profile and algorithm and suddenly find out that Netflix doesn't really suck, it has just funneled you (your profile) into the same thing over and over again in an attempt to drive engagement and impressions. this is driven by the same metrics that fuck up a Facebook feed because you hesitated for one reason or another whole scrolling. 

    the algorithm is the enemy of diversity, and our lavish devotion to kpis that are basically fantasy Calvinball is going to lead us to another bubble and crash. 

    if it's not already too late with the ai bubble.

    I'm not "triggered" and I am perfectly "chill". I know your kind of bullshit when I see it and I am comfortable calling it out for the white-knighting, virtue signaling, political bullshit that it is. This is not a safe space for you. 

    As to neg, it's the only currency we possess here. If I could pay to have you relegated to where you post 90% of the time, I happily would, but I can't, so negging it is. 

     

    what do you call what you are doing? 

    oh just truth, i guess, where would we be without ctj's cloak roome indignation on the football board

    I'm in agreement here, and I'm only voicing that because it is fucking tiring. Beth Mowins is objectively terrible as a PBP person for football. It's distracting. I don't give a shit about women calling men's sports. Good is good and bad is bad. Mowins is a bottom feeder for CFB announcers and she's hanging on to the role she was elevated to strictly because of the DEI silliness from ESPN. 

    The @aggie08 poster seems to have a pathological obsession with righting any perceived slights assigned to females in the sports world by mean men and patsy women who are clearly too stupid to "get it". It oozes off of their dumb fucking posts and they come across as a real blast at parties. I don't see them post much, but they have plenty of posts and rep, so I'm guessing they're absolutely a cloak roomer and they only show up for sports when the right dog whistle is blown for their bullshit to make an appearance. 

    lol serious bro no cloak room I guess

  10. yeah but...

    as a newcastle supporter you just can't walk into a guy leading with your forehead. Schar should have known better. 

    that said I firmly believe you can red both players in that situation. just because the attempted headbutt was embellished doesn't change the intent. 

    but breroton Diaz should have gotten a red for simulation also. that was a joke.

    I don't want to be a dick, and certainly don't want to put the cart before the horse, BUT.... do those of you who spent weeks saying "Biden gives us the best chance to win" now realize how ridiculous that was?

    absofuckinglutely was I wrong about this. but let's not pretend that you knew it was going to be this incredible. so let's just all get along
