Music lover and union worker. Father. I love cooking, great food everywhere, and drink. Whatever you think you know about me is probably wrong. Fascists and lefty poseurs who can't vote to stop fascism get blocked.

I do it every day. Sometimes they're a bit of a head-scratcher, but it's fun.

Of course. Why do you think he was so popular?

Reading a story about the election that casually referred to "Biden's slide in the polls" and it just remains remarkable to me that narrative reporters can just drop stuff like that into copy and never think twice about whether it has any basis in fact.

Mike Davis, one of the worst people in the world, has been floated as a SCOTUS nominee and the next Attorney General if Trump is elected.

Trump winning the PV but losing the EC would be irrefutable proof that we are living in a simulation.

And if they are badly representing a group of people, let's talk about that! But their personal details don't really change that analysis much.

Like, it makes (some) sense if they're writing personal non-fiction, but otherwise, I'd really rather not know the race or gender of the person I'm reading, because then it takes away from the experience of reading itself.

I see we've reached the "famous artist credibly accused of sexual assault wasn't actually a great artist and you're a chump for liking him" phase. Consider that pretending terrible people can't make great art helps terrible people who make great art whedon their way into vulnerable communities.

Obviously, what songs are in that 5% is different for different people. Nearly all these songs are being mentioned because they've been overplayed. They were overplayed because they were popular, and, generally, they were popular because a lot of people thought they were good.

I think, if you enjoy music at all, this should be a thread of 5% "yeah, I hate that song too" and 95% "wtf, that song slaps". If you hate all these songs, you just hate music.

Honestly, at this point I think Biden has to stay in the race just to show the NYT they aren't in control of the Democratic party.

Who TF cares what pundit say?
“You were wrong about 2020. You were wrong about 2022. We were going to get wiped out. Remember the red wave?” Biden says to the reporter in the clip, before unloading another set of races which he says the media falsely predicted.

The "outside influences" they are reacting to are just other news organizations owned and run by the same group of people. It isn't reporting on facts, it's a human centipede of opinion masquerading as "analysis".

Why did Romney have to comment on it? Perhaps it was journalists asking the candidate questions about it? Perhaps journalists could be asking Trump similar questions?

Google Trump and all you get are anti Biden headlines. The algorithm is tampered with. So what if the debate video was tampered with. The tech to do it is in common use by dozens of companies and governments. We can say that they certainly would do it because look at your search results yesterday.

A conspiracy theory I believe in is that in 10, 20 years or so, we're going to find out that either Trump or people backing him had leverage over a lot of people in media and a lot of the R politicians who initially opposed him. Whether it's bribes or blackmail or both, I have no idea.
