Rolling Stone is good for that shit too.

Seth Abramson probably had a 234 tweetstorm explaining why it was to happen and that he details it all his whatever his new book will be.

To the evil people they think it’s a bunch of loose women who want consequence free sex and dammit that’s only allowed for youth pastors and Republican members of congress.

Which guy from Encino man? Need to be more specific.

Today is Kerouac’s birthday. 101.

It’s easy to be a libertarian until you need something.

Didn’t something similar happen with GameStop? Like wait a minute. We gotta step in. These hedge fund managers are being played for fools by internet people so we gotta protect them.

I checked my For You tab last night and it was surprisingly effective. I spent about 15 minutes reading things in various topics. No BS.

Apple released a classical music app separate from Apple Music. This is great at explaining why.

If someone asked me what Substack was i would say a publishing platform. I can use it to publish things and can choose to charge or not charge users to read it. I've never clicked a link to it so I might be totally off.

fenway is notorious at that. All the Ilitch lots near Comerica.... filled up same time as a concert at the Fox or Fillmore... well we don't know why they are parking. They could just be parking in those lots to go to Beacon Park instead of a ballgame.

What you could see are shared operations among member clubs of any new network. That eliminations production crew redundancy. If the Tigers host the Twins and they both are part of a new operation, then you have a single truck and one set of camera operators rather than each team having it's own setup.

Be interested to know the "life span" of those workers at amazon centers. Not how long they live but how long they work. Bring people in, work them to death and milk them, then let them leave and wait for the new batch. Pay just enough to get them in the door. Like mortgage and financial service places but the goal there is they contact all their friends, family, neighbors... everybody they know.

Yeah that’s the twitter echo chamber that thinks it’s real life. I just asked my wife if she knew what it was. Had no idea. I texted a friend the same question. No clue. Both highly educated professionals.

Wonder if the Dems and others will make fun of him and wonder if he was having gay sex or something.

When my sister had complications from a "routine" surgery and ended up passing away after months in an ICU and on a vent, she racked up over a million in medical bills. Luckily she got a union job at MIchigan Bell after high school in the early 70's in a call center, retiring in the mid 90's, and the cost to her/us was near zero.

"He didn't go to the Canadian border. He went to Sault St Marie which is 400 miles from the Lake Erie Region"

I think that keeps getting lost in the narrative. And not just b/c of the pandemic but simple demographics. The majority of baby boomers are now past retirement age.

Yes they are snowflakes. They are afraid. Personally I think the ones who make the issues out of things like this are the ones we need to worry about. They are the ones monitoring pre-teen girls clothing choices.

So according to Mr. Canada Ted Cruz, Detroit is not "the border" with Canada then?

Any states Trump would win would already be red states. I can’t see any blue states giving him a majority and I could see some thin red states splitting the R vote throwing it to the D column. What would a D lose that they won in 2020?

I’m not following. If Trump tries to runs third party he would need a lot of infrastructure help to even get on every state’s ballot. I don’t know if he would be accepted by the Green Party. Libertarians would take him. but I don’t see how him being on a ballot with a Republican hurts democrats. Even a slice of 5% of GOP voters to third party dooms them. I can’t imagine very many previous Biden voter’s suddenly thinking “hey, Ron and Don are here to give me a choice”. You’d end up with a 49-34-15 split among the D, R, and whatever Trump is.

A large bloc of new Trump voters were people who think "they're all crooked" and putting a non politician in there wasn't a big risk. These are the kind of people who voted for Jesse Ventura in MN. They don't follow the news. They are not engrossed in twitter and reading columns or doing research. To them Trump was a real estate guy in NY and later on TV in the Apprentice. "Get somebody from the outside in there to shake things up." That was the extent of their involvement. They knew nothing about Russia. Hillary was old news. Trump's philandering and 'grab em by the pussy' remarks were negated by Bill Clinton's behavior. That is simply the reality we faced in 2016 and the problems we have to face when everybody gets to vote. We can't control why they vote the way they do.

That's what happened after the pandemic then the excuse was "nobody wants to work". Workers had options and busting their ass for $15 in a shitty customer facing job was less attractive than not busting their ass in another $15/hr job.
