âEven the New York Times, which is usually better about this, talked about a very tiny shift that was totally insignificant statistically like it was evidence that it was a shift toward Trump after the debate,â Lazer says.

How many Trump Cabinet members/senior staff have called on the US to reject him? Hint: it's a much larger number than D officials vs. Biden and you'd think that putting that counter alongside this one would be the minimum of balance required of an ethical news venue.

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

There was less lead in organic tampons, but those had higher concentrations of arsenic.
Also fun: It's 2024. This is the first ever study testing metals in tampons. Great. đ

TBF, Bill Nye came to the aquiarium I worked as a speaker and he also was very unhappy and complaining about having to see people/kids and his handlers really had to coax and convince him to do it. This was early in that gig so it hadnât taken off yet so the payoff may not have yet been obvious.

I guess if we think the backroom deals made with Pete and Kamala so they back out in order for Biden to defeat Bernie are the same (in other words, not- its all self-promoting), then its similar? I think normal republicans just didnât vote- do you think a substantial number voted for Biden?
