So, I’m not a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist, but I absolutely believe the theory that Spez & Musk are being paid handsomely under the table by dark money to do their best to ruin Reddit and Twitter. It was the two largest places that liberals congregated, communicated, and publicly posted, and the right wing wants to hamper and/or destroy both sites. I think both are seriously compromised now, and many of the left have fled. In the case of Twitter, it’s just turning into Truth Social lite, and Spez is trying to monetize what’s left of Reddit as fast as he can to rake in cash off what’s left of the dying carcass/bot farm.
I didn’t say they had low standards, I said they have splashy headlines and blunt articles. In my experience their articles are factual, they just don’t beat around the bush, or sugar coat it, or whataboutulism it like the more traditional mainstream media. They’re blunt about it, that’s their identity to get clicks. My suggestion was for you not to read articles from The Daily Beast if you don’t like their style. Or if you do read them, don’t criticize. Criticizing their style is nonsensical, like criticizing a donkey for being a donkey. That donkey may not… how did you put it, sit right with you… but that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with the donkey.
Again, I think you’re expecting too much from The Daily Beast. This is the type of article they write to get clicks. This article isn’t from the New York Times or the Washington Post, but an internet site that specializes in splashy headlines and blunt articles.
It’s like you’re criticizing a donkey for being a donkey. “I just can’t put my finger on why, but I don’t like that donkey.” Maybe stay away from the donkey farm then.
#1, it’s the The Daily Beast. This is their thing, to do articles with splashy headlines like this. #2, I don’t have a problem at all pointing out the unending hypocrisy.
So Kamala was also invited to speak, but she had to be at a funeral and couldn’t come. She offered to do it on Zoom, but the NABJ declined. To me this is more an indictment of them. I heard an interview with Jamele Hill, who is a member of NABJ since 1992, and she’s says that most members are angry that they chose not to let Kamala attend via Zoom, and there’s a good chance that the entire NABJ leadership will be voted out at the next election over this.
They did give Trump a microphone, but he probably just used it to crap all over himself with black voters. The affluent black voters will vote for him because they’re convinced that he’ll lower their taxes, and that’s all they care about, but I can’t see this helping him and only hurting with the average black voter.
As far as puzzle games, SevenBloks is my most played game by FAR. I play on Toughness mode, and the games are pretty quick. It’s a combination of equal parts strategy and luck.
For sports games, Retro Bowl & Retro Bowl College (American football) are the best $1 per game I’ve ever spent. I’ve lost track of the number of seasons I’ve played on both.
Even if Trump paid him the $2 million he says that he’s owed, he’d still be $146 million short of what he owes the 2 poll workers that he lost the lawsuit to.
