“He jokes all the time,” said Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., who was in the room at the time. “I think it’s one of the problems with politics is you can’t even tell a joke without being excoriated.”

Definitely, that’s the problem in politics. Ffs.

Gaetz: “Imma dip”

US checks and balances: “well, we tried”

Ok but I think that is the literal definition of bigotry, even if you seem to be implying that you’re just responding to other people’s bigotry.

People everywhere googling whether consuming bronzer + saturated fat leads to E. coli

Yeah, it’s grubby AF. I get that the strategy is to normalise calling your opponent a loser so it feels matter of fact, but it’s absolutely fucked that this is how major political candidates and operations work nowadays.

(Also, Harris won the last election, won the nom, and is still up in the polls, whereas Trump has lost so many major contests since 2016 he’s uniquely qualified to be called a loser)

Also, what’s the alternative being promoted? If responding to, debunking, and rebuking the lies of Trump/Vance is “pointing fingers” and adding to negative discourse, then are they suggesting to just shut up about it and let the lies go unchecked? How does that serve anyone’s interest?

Feels like normative bias and the naive belief that Trump can’t cause any real damage and everything will be fine in the end.

Curse words themselves don’t reduce the impact of a sentence on their own. Context is important.

I’ll try ask this in a different way: can you think of a time when a curse word seemed to fit the context of the point being made, or enhanced the impact, or felt powerful or eloquent? Can you remember and share the context of it?

Are you saying there’s never a time where a curse word is appropriate, mr_no_swearing?

You’re talking about a different issue. It just happens to feature a lot of cursing. But cursing itself does not make a remark less clever.

I agree that cursing is often used as a replacement for “um”. But you ever really appreciate someone who knows how and when to curse, with intention and as an infliction? It’s a joy to behold.

Vaginia.

This is such a thorough and comprehensive takedown, I am impressed.

There’s nothing in the article but Meta PR! It’s not factual reporting, and Fox has done nothing to corroborate the claims and provide actual analysis.

Zuckerberg is vague about what he was asked to “censor” (humour and satire?) but also makes clear that Facebook rebuffed officials and all that happened was that those officials expressed frustration. What’s the actual allegation here? Zuck got hurt feelings?

Zuck refers to Facebook’s mission as “helping people connect in a safe and secure way” to try and downplay the Cambridge Analytics scandal the fact that they’re are an ad platform first and foremost. This is Meta prop.

👏👏👏

7 for effort.

8 if it’s executed well.

9 and up if it’s actually a creative and fun game with good mechanics, no MTX, etc.

It just makes the rating system pointless.

According to the article, the owner who was sued stated in court:

when she was asked if she would accept a transgender woman as female if they had medically transitioned and were legally recognised as one, she “would not view that person as a woman”.

So it sounds like a case of the owner wanting to apply their own view without regard for how the law recognises gender in this day and age.

I’m the opposite too, for a different reason to you. I have Sonos home theatre (soundbar, sub, rear speakers) and Chromecast with Google TV hooked up to the TV. I control music on a pixel phone or pixel tablet through the Chromecast, Sonos kinda just hangs off on the edge of my ecosystem and I don’t think about it. I maybe use the app a few times a year.

But I get why if you just have a few speakers it would be a pain to use the app.
