Muted mics make him look like he's being civil and letting Harris talk.

Hot mic presents two interesting possibilities:

1. He tries on his "low IQ" and "she suddenly decided to be black" attack lines and Harris calls him out so he looks like a fucking asshole to the average voter.
2. He DOESNT try on his "low IQ" and "she suddenly decided to be black" attack lines and Harris calls back to her "say it to my face" line and paints him as a weak coward for the rest of the campaign.

👏👏👏

7 for effort.

8 if it's executed well.

9 and up if it's actually a creative and fun game with good mechanics, no MTX, etc.

It just makes the rating system pointless.

According to the article, the owner who was sued stated in court:

when she was asked if she would accept a transgender woman as female if they had medically transitioned and were legally recognised as one, she "would not view that person as a woman".

So it sounds like a case of the owner wanting to apply their own view without regard for how the law recognises gender in this day and age.

I'm the opposite too, for a different reason to you. I have Sonos home theatre (soundbar, sub, rear speakers) and Chromecast with Google TV hooked up to the TV. I control music on a pixel phone or pixel tablet through the Chromecast, Sonos kinda just hangs off on the edge of my ecosystem and I don't think about it. I maybe use the app a few times a year.

But I get why if you just have a few speakers it would be a pain to use the app.

he brought Corey Lewandowski back to oversee the campaign managers

Who he previously fired as campaign manager in 2016. His campaign is a total shitshow.

Yeah, that headline is atrocious. The reality of the situation is sensational enough, I'd argue dialling up the outrage actually diminishes the impact.

It's a satire piece meant to highlight the absurdity of conservative positions despite how they are presented matter-of-fact in the mainstream. Would love a non paywalled linked to read it all.

I'm not up to speed on the discovery you linked. It appears to be a vulnerability that can't be exploited remotely? If so, how is this the same as Intel chips causing widespread system instability?

Sure, you can do things that will supplement [state's abortion bans]. Absolutely. And those things are pretty open, and humane, but you have to be able to have a vote, and all I want to do is give everybody a vote, and the votes are taking place right now as we speak.

Mixing in some garbled response about voting in what should otherwise be a straightforward response tells you everything you need. His addled brain betrays his real stance: "I'll go with whatever gets me the most votes, I don't give a shit about the actual issue".

Deal maker Donnie really doing deals here. Looks like he's basically caved.

Watch MAGA base desperately ignore another obvious example yet again if his tough words and weak actions not lining up.

Elon sees himself as a truth teller discovering and interpreting information that is outside the mainstream, using his deep and savvy knowledge of the world to understand what is and isn't important or relevant and using his platform to promote it. He thinks he's the only person with the courage to speak the truth.

In reality he's just the 2024 equivalent of a boomer forwarding stupid email chains from his inbox without the slightest inclination to confirm what he's posting or ability to tell the real world from obvious fakery.

This got under my skin too.

That parasite constantly refers to user content and comments and as being the property or Reddit, and his schemes to generate profit off the back of that asset are almost always to the detriment of the user base who are keeping him in business.

Like all rich assholes, he's got this expectation that everyone will deeply respect and admire his mission to enrich himself by exploiting whatever market he has access to.

Agree 100%

In Trump terms, left = anyone he disagrees with.

Explains why he was so antagonistic toward the ABC reporter at the National Association of Black Journalists. As bad as that makes him look outside of the MAGA bubble, it lets him make the pathetic argument that ABC was mean to him so he won't go debate there. His fragile little ego is more important to him than winning the election. Good news for democracy lovers.

Also: left leaning versus right wing mouthpiece. ABC v Fox doesn't seem like a fair comparison.

Trump is genuinely scared he's going to lose. He's trying to put the stink of his conviction on someone else. He knows it's a massive liability.

"This former AG, Senator, and VP has no idea how to run this country!" - Conservative Clowns everywhere.

Yeah that's exactly the problem with increased partisan staff as opposed to a balance / scaled approach. It will only emphasise money and populism in what should be (and already isn't) an official and unbiased process.

It's super frustrating how much democracy falls into a two-party pit. That said recent UK and Australian elections show how conservative parties who leaned into hard right Trumpism bullshit shed votes to independents and parties who want conservatism with the loonies.

Good find. Some additional context later in the same article that I found interesting:

In the July meetings, conservative board members favored proposals for increasing the number of poll watchers parties and candidates could send to vote-counting centers, changing the way local election offices verify vote totals, and giving local election board members more access to election-related materials prior to verifying election results.

Partisan poll-watchers and partisan election officials something something free and fair elections (according to conservatives).
