Jon Stewart Knocks It Out of the Park
he does look old but i'll say that his funny hasn't dropped as much as a lot of comedians when they get old. i've always though folks like jim carrey whose humor depends so much on being outrageous and physical goes from funny to embarrassing once they get long in the tooth. jon has a lot of that with his over-the-top reactions, but has avoided the downturn.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
re: secret republicans. they might be, but it seems to be an anecdotal version of all the polls were are seeing, which is trump +5 versus this time in 2020 where they were biden +5 or so. of course, we are all desperately seeking any reason to not believe polls, and those reasons aren't hard to come up with. 2020 was the worst polling in 40 years. the problem, of course, is they were worst in the wrong direction that we hope they would be this time. https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-biden-was-worst-presidential-polling-miss-in-40-years-panel-says-11620909178

Jon Stewart Knocks It Out of the Park
Good episode last night ripping on Tucker. I liked he crystallization of the new us-v-them. “ it used to be capitalist and democracy against communism. Now it’s woke versus non-woke. And if that’s the arrangement, brutal dictators end up becoming your conservative allies.”

Trevor Noah’s reign of terror comes to an end.
Re:Noah. Everyone is just fumbling with how to say the dude wasn’t funny in a way that sounds like there is some deeper analysis needed. Don’t really know why. Maybe we’re a little baffled that Stewart would turn it over to a guy like this. Maybe there is some racial aspect in there. But I don’t really think that it has anything to do with him being from South Africa and don’t really think showing some American can/can’t do it to Euros would make me think anything either way. John Oliver is funny. Is he a Brit? He’s clearly Brit-ish. He presents as a Brit. Would I think more or less of his mocking of us if he was British British? Probably not. Paperwork isn’t the difference between him being funny and not.

Hey BMD, please donate to GOP causes No. that’ll just fund Trump’s obligations. Actually, we set up GOP Causes II LLC. Run by different folks etc. Ok.

How Fox News works
trump is last, and the chart looks like the gap between him and buchanan might be the second biggest, behind the gap between washington and teddy (#3, #4). http://www.brandonrottinghaus.com/uploads/1/0/8/7/108798321/presidential_greatness_white_paper_2024.pdf

Surly #Stonks
HTOO has been AIDS. It was around $1 for forever, threatened to get delisted, then got to $1.35. I was sick of it so decided to take the L at that point, and put in a sale of my entire position at $1.34. By the time I hit enter, it went below $1.34, and I sold nothing. Still had the 60 sale on. If it ever got up to $1.34 my sale would still go. This morning they got funding for something so it opened at $4.14. My entire position quadrupled in value and the sale went through. Back to $2.72 as we speak.

sounds a little pyramid scheme-y to me. you run out of people eventually. 2008 - Percent of Turnout to Registered 59.50 2012- Percent of Turnout to Registered Voters 58.58 2016 - Percent of Turnout to Registered 59.39% 2020 - Percent of Turnout to Registered 66.73%
