Based on my research on equity in marketing exchange, this has long been my contention. You'll capture about 20% of the market going altruistically; if you want to pull the market, it has to be through self-interest appeal. (For better and for worse, this is how Elon cracked the EV market code.)

This is a great cause of optimism. The time for needing to convince people to Go Green for altruism and karma points is over. It's just cheaper and better! www.wsj.com/us-news/clim...

Suprise: unwashed fascist ghoul Matthew Walther - who wrote a column that the New York Times just published advising Americans not to vote - did in fact vote in 2020 and 2022. It’s time for us to stop tolerating these ratfucking liars.

Is Bohemian Rhapsody a good song?

Huh.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil's federal police indict ex-President Bolsonaro for money laundering and criminal association, source confirms.

We are still paying airlines a 9/11 Security Fee. 1) what does it go to vis a vis TSA that TSA budgeting doesn't get? 2) what if it instead went to the $175 billion needed to decarbonize flight?

Airlines say they’ve found a route to climate-friendly flyingwww.vox.com Cleaner, faster, cheaper — the aviation industry’s plan to decarbonize air travel, explained.

At the least in this picture, Walther looks like a poor man's Richard Spencer.

Hopefully someone will check the Michigan voter file to see if it is true that this lad does not vote

Am I missing how one reads the quote skeets of someone else's skeet?

I feel like this is all but inevitable and if Biden is stalling on purpose to take the oxygen from Trump, boy, it might be the shrewdest political gamble of his career. Or, he's just a stubborn old man. In which case, it's a twofer.

After reading this, I'm not sure that-- after the hand-wringing about Biden dropping out and then the hand-wringing about who would replace him-- that it wouldn't be Harris. www.axios.com/2024/07/04/k...

The candidate has to be Biden or Harris. Anything else is just a fantasy. You want Harris-Whitmer, Harris-Manchin, Harris-Shapiro, Harris-Moore? Fine! But the top of the ticket is gonna be Biden or Harris and that’s the only thing that makes sense.

This was weird. Compellingly argued (eg, refutation of cointerarguments), but felt gross. But given the Right has tossed logic, honesty, and fairness out the window...

Opinion: It’s Time for the Biden Campaign to Embrace AIwww.huffpost.com After the president's dismal debate performance, he noted that he “might not walk as easily or talk as smoothly as I used to.” AI could help with this.

Watch, they are going to say that all of from November 2020-January 2021 was an official act and therefore, election denial is not a thing. And also, the eradication of ex post facto. Anyways, watch for the return of Rudy after his disbarrement is overturned.

This should have been the priority of the 2021 Trifecta. They did not take the threat seriously and now here we all are again

really cannot emphasize enough how plainly all this proves that the first priority of the next Democratic administration needs to be democracy reform --filibuster --electoral college --court reform --dc and pr statehood --new voting rights act --gerrymandering

New: I did not support Kamala Harris in the 2020 primary. But that won't keep me from backing her in Biden's place this November. Here I make the case for candidate Harris: www.thehandbasket.co/p/kamala-har...

Christ, what an asshole (Jared Golden, D-ME). www.bangordailynews.com/2024/07/02/o...

Donald Trump is going to win the election and democracy will be just finewww.bangordailynews.com “Democrats’ post-debate hand-wringing is based on the idea that a Trump victory is not just a political loss, but a unique threat to our democracy. I reject the premise.”

If it's not going to be him by November (and that's questionable), he should be resigning for Harris to run as incumbent (and not confuse the voters when some states print ballots in early August and mail out in early September).

President Biden's lapses appear to have grown more frequent, more pronounced and, after Thursday’s debate, more worrisome, interviews with current and former White House aides, political advisers, and others who saw Biden in the last few weeks show. nyti.ms/3ROa3sU

This seems like such a simple way to attenuate context collapse that it's pretty baffling social media platforms don't offer it as an option.

Thanks! I literally just want to be able to restrict replies to people who follow me, that’s all I want and I plan to keep asking.
